The arterioles then divide further into capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels and their walls are only one cell thick which allows diffusion between the blood and cells to occur. Nutrients and oxygen from the blood diffuses through the capillary walls into the tissues that need it. This is aided by the relatively high blood pressure that also squeezes the oxygen and nutrients through the capillary wall and into the cells of the tissue. At the same time carbon dioxide and other waste products re-enter the capillary in order to be processed and removed from the body.
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Theyâre tough on the outside but they contain a smooth interior layer of epithelial cells that allows blood to flow easily. Arteries also contain a strong, muscular middle layer that helps pump blood through the body. Capillaries connect the arteries to veins. The arteries deliver the oxygen-rich blood to the capillaries, where the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. The capillaries then deliver the waste-rich blood to the veins for transport back to the lungs and heart. Veins carry the blood back to the heart.
