Capillaries have thin walls allowing exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and tissues.Final Answer:
Capillaries → Option CQuick Check:
Gas and nutrient exchange site = Capillaries ✅
Quick Trick: Capillaries connect arteries and veins and allow exchange.
Common Mistakes:
