Arteries - arterioles - capillaries - venules - veins - back to the heart...
Capillary
Arteries, the largest of which is the Aorta. Arteries then split down into smaller blood vessels called arterioles and then smaller still into one-cell-thick vessels known as capillaries. These capillaries are where diffusion, movement of Oxygen from the blood vessels into the nearby tissue cells, occurs.
Veins. Vessels that carry it from the heart are called arteries.
a vein could be considered a smaller artery, they are smaller and take blood to the heart and arteries take it to the heart.
The vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries
The heart chambers are called atria and ventricles. Arteries and veins are blood vessels.
Arteries divide into smaller vessels called Arteriols. Arteriols subdivide into even smaller vessels called capillaries, where oxygen, nutrients, hormones are delivered to the tissues of the body. Waste products are also picked up by capillaries and delivered to venules which grow into larger vessels called veins. Veins deliver deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

The first vessels that branch off the aorta are called the coronary arteries. These arteries are so important for the heart muscle to work properly that they are the first off the aorta.These arteries give blood to the heart muscle itself. These arteries are also called coronary arteries because they form a crown around the top of the heart with the arteries forming an upside down crown.
