What is the small caliber artery called?
Arteries lead to Arterioles, which lead to capillaries which lead to venules which lead to veins that go back to Mr. Heart.
How are arterioles capillaries and venules related?
Arterioles are the small arteries that lead into the capillaries, which connect to cells in the body. Venules are the small veins that the capillaries flow back into, leaving the cells.
What does a capillary lead into?
Capillaries lead to the smallest venules. The capillaries connect arteries and veins.
From capillaries the blood flows into what?
Generally blood from the capillaries flows into venules which lead into larger veins and is then pumped to the heart. However there are a few exceptions where capillaries lead from one artery to another artery, but this only happens in the glomerular capsule of the kidney and the hypothalamus.
What does the organs do in the circulatory system?
Heart- The heart pumps the blood throughout the body. Arteries- The arteries lead the blood away from the heart (arteries= away) Veins- The veins lead the blood to the heart Capillaries- The capillaries absorb the nutrients and oxygen Red Blood Cells- The red blood cells act as a transporter

Are veins connected to the capillaries?
In order, your blood follows this general path as it is traveling from arteries to veins: 1. Conducting arteries (aorta) 2. Muscular arteries 3. Arterioles 4. Capillaries 5. Venules 6. Veins
What are the functions of venule?
The venule is a very small vein. Arteriesalways take blood away from the heart but these arteries are too large for exchange of gasses and nutrient/wastes to occur. The arteries branch into smaller and smaller arteries. The smallest are called arterioles. The arterioles feed into capillary beds where this exchange can occur as the walls of the capillaries are very thin. Venules lead from the bed into larger and larger veins.

What is the Hierarchy of blood vessels?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart and empty into Arterioles which then lead to Capillaries, the blood then begins its return trip to the heart by entering Venules which empty into Veins which return the blood to the heart.ArteriesArteriolesCapillariesVenulesVeins
Who is the lead singer of the young veins?

Can drinking too much alcohol lead to broken blood vessels on one's face?
The short answer is 'yes', but only if you are a severe, long-term alcoholics with advanced liver damage (cirrhosis). For the vast majority of drinkers, including most alcoholics, it is a myth that broken facial veins are caused by their alcohol consumption. For example... www.skincarecentre.ca/enhancing_your_skin/excessive_facial_veins_and_redness.htm Broken veins are not really broken. They are permanently dilated small vessels in your skin. They are sometimes called spider veins, and have the medical name 'telengectasia'. Broken veins have many causes including excessive exposure to the sun or cold, hormonal changes during pregnancy and genetic factors. Alcohol does cause short term facial blushing (generalized redness), especial in some racial groups, due to dilation of capillaries in the facial skin, but this does not lead to permanent broken veins. When the liver is severely damaged (whether by advanced alcoholism, hepatitis or toxins), it may produce chemical changes in the blood that lead to spider veins in the facial skin. But by then, red veins on your nose will be the least of your problems.
