Sinusoid capillaries allow for the exchange of large molecules, even cells. They’re able to do this because they have many larger gaps in their capillary wall, in addition to pores and small gaps.

Arteries carry blood away from your heart. Vein vs Capillary. Veins have thicker walls than capillaries. Veins use valves to transport blood towards the heart, but capillaries don’t have valves.
