The circulatory system consists of a series of vessels called?
Blood vessels come in three types: arterial, capillary, venous; and a fourth is the unidirectional flow of the lymphatic fluid in the lymph vessels.
Which structure in the circulatory system is known to be the smallest kind of blood vessel?
Capillaries, having diameters between about 0.0005 to about 0.008 inches, are the smallest blood vessels.
Are capillaries muscles or nerves a blood vessels?
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels.
What controls the diameter of the arterioles and what do changes in diameter affect?
Arterioles are the smallest vessels of the arterial system, with a diameter of about 1/3 millimeter or smaller. There is much smooth muscle in their tunica media, which causes vasocontrictionwhen it contracts, and vasodilation when it relaxes. Such vasoconstriction and vasodilation plays two important roles in the cardiovascular system.controls of distribution of blood flow to different parts of the bodydetermines the total peripheral resistance
What do caplillaries do?
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels, and they allow for gas exchange in the tissues.
What are capillars?
capillaries are the smallest of the blood vessels. They connect the arterial system to the venous system and are the site of interaction between the blood and the rest of your body

What are parts of cardiovascular system?
There are mainly two parts in Cardiovascular system. 1. Heart. & 2.Blood vessels. Blood vessels contains arterial system(aorta-artery-arteriols-capillary) & Venous system (venacava-vein-venules-capillary)

Which are the smallest vessels in the body?
The smallest blood vessels in the body are capillaries.
What type of blood vessels is oxygen released into body cells?
Capillaries - they are the smallest vessels that serve as arteries and veins.
What are the smallest blood vessels called?
The smallest blood vessels are called capillaries.
The smallest and most numerous blood vessels in the human body?
The smallest blood vessels are the capillaries.
What is an arteriogenesis?
An arteriogenesis is an increase in the diameter of existing arterial vessels.
What is the smallest branch of arteries?
The answer is the arteriole
What are conductance vessels?
Conductance vessels distribute blood to and from the tissues. Arterial vessels also damp the pulse prssure, and veins contribute to venous capacitance.
