The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.
red blood cells |
|
arteries |
|
veins |
|
capillaries |
Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.
Which of blood component allows blood to clot?
white blood cells |
|
red blood cells |
|
platelets |
