The smallest blood vessels are called capillaries. The next largest are veins. The largest are arteries. Arteries are deeper in the body than veins and capillaries, which are closer to the skin. Some veins are also deep within the body. There is no type of blood vessel starting with the letter "A" that is close to the skin.
