Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels. Their main function is to exchange substances between blood and tissues. They deliver blood (which contains nutrients and oxygen) to cells in organs and body systems.
Transporting sweat and toxins out is more related to excretory organs like skin. Transporting hormones and enzymes to the brain is not the main role of capillaries. Transporting lymphatic fluid is the job of lymphatic vessels. Transporting food to the digestive system is mainly through the digestive tract's movement (like peristalsis in the esophagus, stomach, etc.) rather than capillaries.
