Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

Capillaries are most abundant in tissues and organs that are metabolically active. Through capillaries, blood moves from arteries to veins through tiny blood vessels. In capillaries, the rate of flow is dramatically (one-thousand times) slower than the rate of flow in the aorta. Capillaries are one of the most important parts of the circulatory system because they deliver nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
