Which blood vessel carry blood from all over the body back to the heart?
Arteries, the largest of which is the Aorta. Arteries then split down into smaller blood vessels called arterioles and then smaller still into one-cell-thick vessels known as capillaries. These capillaries are where diffusion, movement of Oxygen from the blood vessels into the nearby tissue cells, occurs.
Vessels that carry blood to the heart are called?
Veins. Vessels that carry it from the heart are called arteries.
What do you call small artery?

The vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries
Is the heart chambers called arteries and veins?
The heart chambers are called atria and ventricles. Arteries and veins are blood vessels.
What are tiny blood vessels connect veins and arteries?
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.

These arteries are also called coronary arteries because they form a crown around the top of the heart with the arteries forming an upside down crown.
