capillaarvõrgu

Capillaarvõrgu, which translates to capillary network in English, refers to a system of extremely fine blood vessels. These vessels are the smallest in the circulatory system, typically only a single cell thick, allowing for efficient exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and the body's tissues. Capillary networks are found throughout virtually all tissues in the body, forming intricate webs that ensure every cell has access to the resources it needs for survival and function. The structure of capillaries is optimized for this exchange, with their narrow lumen and thin walls facilitating rapid diffusion. This vital function is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and supporting metabolic processes. Disruptions to the capillary network can have significant health consequences, affecting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to vital organs.
