Expert Solution

Step 1

Capillary exchange- It is a procedure by which the essential nutrient and substances are supplied to the cells from the blood. It occurs at the level of capillaries as the capillaries are in close contact with the cells. It is necessary for performing and maintaining the normal function of the body as any activity requires energy and the cells get energy by feeding. So. the blood transports the essential nutrient and substances to the cells for performing their activity and it also removes waste material from the cells and transports them to the eliminative organs for eliminating the waste out from the body.
