What blood vessel connects arteries to capillaries?

What vessel play a key role in regulating blood flow into capillaries?
arterioles
Where does a capillary arise from?
Arterioles
Do muscular arteries branch into arterioles?
Yes blood passes through Elastic Arteries, Muscular Arteries, and then Arterioles.
Contraction of the smooth muscle in arterioles would decrease blood pressure?
No it would increase BP, as contraction of the smooth muscle in the arterioles will make the lumen (holes) of the arterioles smaller, restricting blood flow.
