Explanation / Answer

62) The circulatory system is made up of heart and blood vessels. Blood from lungs is carried by pulmonary vein to the atria of heart. From there it goes to the ventricles of the heart. Blood is then passed through blood vessels namely arteries, capillaries and veins. Capillaries consists of single layer of endothelial cells and they are extensively distributed throughout the body. The largest surface area in the circulatory system is present in capillaries. Numerous exchanges between tissues and blood takes place through capillaries. So, the answer for this question is option (e) capillaries.
