Basically like a "branch" of blood vessels connecting from the arterioles to the venules.

Capillaries are the smallest of all your blood vessels, only visible under a microscope. They link the arterioles to the venules. Capillaries were discovered by Marcello Malphigi in 1661. There are 10 billion capillaries in your body.
