What process allows nutrients travel from blood in capillaries to the tissues of the skin?

Nutrients travel from blood in capillaries to the tissues of the skin primarily through a process called diffusion. In this process, substances move from an area of higher concentration (in the capillaries) to an area of lower concentration (in the surrounding tissues). Additionally, filtration also plays a role, especially in areas where blood pressure pushes plasma and its dissolved nutrients through the capillary walls into the interstitial fluid surrounding the skin cells. This combination ensures that skin tissues receive the necessary nutrients for their metabolic functions.
