our lungs forgetting to breath.
Capillary vessels carry oxygen, energy, nutrients,
hormones, and other materials to every cell. The 5 billion cap-
illary vessels have a total length of 950 kilometers (590 miles).
If a person put 10,000 of the smallest capillary vessels side by
side, the total thickness would be roughly equivalent to a
piece of pencil lead. Blood can move in these narrow vessels,
without getting clogged or slowing down, because of water’s
high fluidity. Michael Denton, a noted molecular biologist,
says: “A capillary system will work only if the fluid being pumped
through its constituent tubes has a very low viscosity. A low vis-
cosity is essential because flow is inversely
