Question

what is a capillary network

Answer 1

Explanation:

The networks of capillaries have meshes of varying size. In the lungs and in the choroid—the middle coat of the eyeball—the spaces between capillaries are smaller than the vessels themselves, while in the outer coat of arteries—the tunica adventitia—the intercapillary spaces are about 10 times greater than the diameter of the capillaries. In general, the intercapillary spaces are smaller in growing parts, in the glands, and in mucous membranes; larger in bones and ligaments; and almost absent in tendons.

Answer 2

Any of the minute blood vessels that form networks throughout the bodily tissues, it is through capillaries that oxygen, nutrients and wastes are exchanged between the blood and the tissue.
