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.
