a: Capillaries ~
b: soaker hose
What:
"Arteries and veins are like hoses of different thicknesses. Capillaries are like a soaker hose, always leaking. The analogy breaks down, though, because albumin in the blood pulls the fluid
back in."
"A capillary bed is like the delta at the end of a river. All the
branching slows down the flow."
