How many cell's distance is the average human tissue cell away from a capillary?

I get that it's a broad question and it would probably be different in bone vs muscle, but I'm assuming not every cell is directly adjacent to a capillary.  Roughly how many cells would or could be between 2 capillaries and still get adequate O2, waste removal, etc?  Thanks!

In general the maximum distance between a cell and a capillary is approximatively 20-30 microns (more less 2-3 cells) to enable the exchange of molecules and gases in less than 1 second (more than that could be detrimental for the cell). So between two capillaries there could be 5-6 cells.
