capillaries

     

Capillaries are the smallest of a boy's blood vessels, measuring 5-10 μm in diameter, which connect arterioles and venules, and enable the interchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many other nutrient and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues.

Trivia about capillaries

  • These smallest blood-carrying tubes in the body link arteries to veins
  • Lips are darker than the surrounding skin because of thousands of these tiny blood vessels
  • Arterioles are a link between arteries & these fine blood vessels
  • These minute blood vessels connect arteries & veins
  • These very fine blood vessels give oxygenated blood to the tissues & remove deoxygenated blood from them
  • In 1831 Marshall Hall showed that these tiny blood vessels bring the blood into contact with the tissue
  • These smallest blood vessels are about one-eighth the thickness of a strand of hair
  • Visible bruising begins with the rupture of these vessels
  • They're the microscopic blood vessels that connect arteries & veins
  • Some of these smallest blood vessels are so tiny that only one blood cell can pass through at a time
  • They're your smallest blood transport tubes & in some the red cells have to go through single file
  • (Jon of the Clue Crew indicates a flower diagram on the monitor.) Putting the stems in warm water first opens these tiny water-carrying tubes and hydrates the flower
