*sigh* I know about capillaries. There are capillaries in the quick, i
n addition to an artery and a vein. "The most important anatomical detail of the nail is the central nerve, artery and vein. This neurovascular bundle is called the QUICK. If the quick is inadvertently cut when trimming the nail. It will bleed and the dog will have signi cant pain" http://www.dacherpwd.com/NailTrimPoster.pdf
