capillary network theory

Capillary network theory describes how tiny blood vessels called capillaries form complex, branching systems to efficiently deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and remove waste. These networks adapt their structure based on tissue needs, optimizing blood flow and resource exchange. The theory helps explain how the body maintains proper tissue health and responds to changes like increased activity or injury, highlighting the importance of capillary arrangement and density in supporting overall circulatory function.
