Blood flows from the heart and aorta into large vessels called arteries, these arteries decrease in size as they move into tissues and are then called arterioles with just a few layers of cells. Arterioles then become capillaries that have a single cell layer. Capillaries then empty into venules, which then enter veins and return blood back to the heart to start the process over again!
The smallest arteries are called Arterioles. Capillaries are a separate type of blood vessel, they are the smallest of the blood vessels.
the tiny arteries are the arterioles.
arterial capillaries
The answer is the arteriole
The smallest branch of an artery (before it enters capillary bed) is an arteriole.
Capillaries
capillaries actually aren't arteries. arteries, veins, and capillaries are the major blood transport networks. arteries take blood away from the heart, veins take it back, and capillaries go between the two. capillaries are the smallest of these networks tho
The branches from arteries are arterioles and then into capillaries.
Capillaries are the structures that connect arteries to veins.
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels. They connect arteries and veins.
Arteries - > Arterioles -> Capillaries
No. Arteries are the largest blood vessels and capillaries are the smallest.
Capillaries. They are the microscopic tubes that connect the veins and the arteries.
No. There are three types of blood vessels. They are the arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries are the largest of the blood vessels. Then comes the veins and the smallest are the capillaries.
cappillaries==============The smallest veins in the body are the venules. Capillaries join venules and arterioles (the smallest arteries) together. Arteries carry the blood from the heart around the whole body; while veins carry the blood back to the heart. They are joined by the capillaries, where the most important actions happen.More information in related links.
Arteries carry blood to the smallest blood vessels (capillaries).
The answer is the arteriole
Capillaries lead to the smallest venules. The capillaries connect arteries and veins.
Capillaries
No. There are three types of blood vessels. They are the arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries are the largest of the blood vessels. Then comes the veins and the smallest are the capillaries.
