The smallest vessels which contain oxygenated blood. The capillaries, allowing red blood cells to travel in single file, are responsible for delivering oxygen to the tissues on a cellular level.
tiny blood vessels that form the most distal part of the circulatory system. Arteries branch into ever smaller vessels, finally ending in the capillaries, which connect with the smallest branches of the veins. Capillaries deliver oxygen and nutrients to and remove waste products from the body's cells.

The smallest blood vessels in the body. A network of capillaries in tissues connects arterioles that bring blood to the tissues with venules that return blood to the heart.
Tiny blood vessels (their cell walls are about one cell thick) that allow the exchange of nutrients and wastes between the blood stream and the body's cells. Capillaries are thin and fragile. They are so thin they pass through in single file. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place through capillaries wall.
Small, narrow blood vessels that form bridges between arteries, which carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, and veins, which bring oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. Capillaries carry blood to and from cells in the body, allowing for exchange of oxygen, nutrients, carbon dioxide, and cell waste.
The smallest blood vessels in the body through which most of the oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrient exchanges take place.

Network of fine blood vessels that carry blood between the smallest arteries and veins.
The very narrow tubes forming the network between the arterioles and the veins.
Capillaries are the smallest of blood vessels. They serve to distribute oxygenated blood from arteries to the tissues of the body and to feed deoxygenated blood from the tissues back into the veins. The capillaries are thus a central component in the circulatory system, essentially between the arteries and the veins. When pink areas of skin are compressed, this causes blanching because blood is pressed out of the capillaries. The blood is the fluid in the body that contains, among other elements, the red blood cells (erythrocytes) that carry the oxygen and give the blood its red color.
