The 26 pages that link to Capillary, each with the reason it gives.

• Countercurrent exchangeRelated: Capillaries connect arterial and venous circulation, though limb exchangers often involve larger vessels.

• VasodilationRelated: Upstream dilation influences how much blood reaches capillary beds.

• Cutaneous respirationRelated: Near-surface capillaries carry absorbed oxygen away and bring carbon dioxide to the skin.

• William HarveyRelated: Harvey inferred passage between arteries and veins, though capillaries were observed after his death.

• Gas exchangeRelated: Capillaries carry blood beside respiratory surfaces and distribute absorbed oxygen.

• ArteryRelated: Arteries ultimately branch into capillary networks where exchange occurs.

• Nasal mucosaRelated: Dense capillaries near the surface help warm incoming air.

• ArterioleRelated: Arterioles deliver blood to capillary networks.

• Endocrine glandRelated: Dense capillary networks carry secreted hormones away from endocrine cells.

• RutinRelated: Rutin has been investigated for effects on capillary fragility, but clinical evidence is limited.

• Parenchymal tissue (animal organs)Related: Capillaries connect organ support networks to the needs of functional cells.
