Capillaries Tiny blood vessels connecting arteries to veins. These blood vessels carry oxygen
and nutrients to individual cells. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, and have

a meter.)
Capillaries connect arterioles and venules, which are the smaller extensions of the larger arteries and veins.
