Video: Capillary simple definition.
Imagine you're at a crowded party, trying to navigate through the tightly packed room to get a drink and chat with friends. Just like you maneuvering through the crowd to exchange greetings and grab refreshments, capillaries navigate through the body, facilitating the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between blood and tissues. In this analogy, the capillaries are like the clear pathways at the party that allow you to move freely and interact, ensuring that vital exchanges occur seamlessly to keep everything functioning smoothly.
