Capillaries Tiny blood vessels connecting arteries to veins. These blood vessels carry oxygen

and nutrients to individual cells. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, and have

walls only one or two cells thick. (Their diameter is 5 to 10 micrometers, or 5 to 10 millionths of

a meter.)

Capillaries connect arterioles and venules, which are the smaller extensions of the larger arteries and veins.

As against malloc(), calloc() needs two arguments, the number of elements  to be allocated and the size of each element. For example,

 p = (int *) calloc (10, sizeof (int));

would allocate space for a 10- integer array. Additionally, calloc() would also set each of this element with a value 0.

Thus the above call to calloc() is equivalent to:

p = (int *) malloc (10 * sizeof (int));

memset (p, 0, 10 * sizeof( int ));

The most common two letter combinations are called as digrams. e.g. th, in, er, re and an. The most common three letter combinations are called as trigrams. e.g. the, ing,and, and ion.
