Capillaries are the smallest of all your blood vessels, only visible under a microscope. They link the arterioles to the venules. Capillaries were discovered by Marcello Malphigi in 1661. There are 10 billion capillaries in your body.

Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels, connecting arterioles to venules and enabling the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste between blood and tissues. They form networks called capillary beds that are crucial for cellular function. Discovered by Marcello Malpighi in 1661, these vessels are essential for proper circulation.
