There are no muscles in arteries.

Arterioles have muscles which can close them, but which has no normal flow control. (Used is stress/shock conditions only)

Capillaries have a muscle which can stop all flow through it - it responds to oxygen pressure and is the ultimate control of blood flow.

What is an arteriole?

An arteriole is a small blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart and towards the tissues of the body. Arterioles regulate blood flow and blood pressure by constricting or dilating. They are important in controlling blood flow to specific areas based on the body's needs.
