What are blood vessels for?
The blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system that transports blood throughout the human body. There are three major types of blood vessels: the arteries, which carry the blood away from the heart; the capillaries, which enable the actual exchange of water and chemicals between the blood and the tissues; and the veins, which carry blood from the capillaries back toward the heart. The word vascular, meaning relating to the blood vessels, is derived from the Latin vas, meaning vessel.
Which word means small vein?
The word that means small vein is "venule." Venules are small blood vessels that collect blood from capillaries and transport it to larger veins. They play a crucial role in the circulatory system by facilitating the return of deoxygenated blood to the heart.

What blood vessel carries purified blood from the lungs to the heart?
Only the pulmonary vein will carry blood back to the heart from the lungs, but I'm unsure of "purified" blood. The lungs don't do any "cleansing" of the blood, so there's no real reason to call it purified. Perhaps the better word to use is "oxygenated."
What are the small vessels that carry blood back toward the heart from the capillaries and tissues of the body?
Since you use the word small, these vessels are called venoules.
