The Capillary Bed The capillary bed is found in the superficial dermis and is an important part of the integumentary system. It is made up of a group of capillaries which are supplied with oxygenated blood via the arterioles and drained of deoxygenated blood via the venules of the circulatory system. The pulsating flow within the capillary bed is called vasomotion. The type of circulation through the capillaries is called microcirculation. Image 1 bellow shows the components of the capillary bed
