The appropriate answer is capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest type of blood vessel being at time only one or a few cells thick. Being so small they easily allow materials such as oxygen and nutrients to diffuse to individual cells that make up tissues. The other types of blood vessels are veins and arteries.
