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.
A capillary is the smallest blood vessel. It connects arteries and veins.
veins are blood vessels
That would be the capillary

The capillaries are the blood vessels that connect arteries and veins. Capillaries are the site of gas exchange in the body.
Arteries (carries oxygenated blood), veins (carries deoxygenated blood) and capillaries (blood vessels connecting arteries to veins and vice versa).
Venules, they are smaller and thinner than veins.
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.
