What Are Capillaries?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
If you cut yourself on any part of the body then you will find that blood will come out. This means that blood is being carried to every part, and this is done by a network of blood vessels. This network includes the capillaries, and these are the smallest of all blood vessels in the body.
Not only do capillaries have the task of helping transport blood around the body, but they also help the body to absorb the blood so it can be used. There are also different types of capillary, and some people will develop medical conditions involving the capillaries.
