Pulmonary capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect the pulmonary arterioles to the pulmonary venules in the lungs. They are the smallest of the blood vessels in the body, and their walls are only one cell thick. This thin wall allows oxygen and carbon dioxide to be exchanged between the blood and the alveoli.
