Which blood vessel carry blood from all over the body back to the heart?
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.
What happens to blood vessel size?
The size of blood vessels varies enormously, from a diameter of about 25 mm (1 inch) in the aorta to only 8 Ξm in the capillaries.
