No. Veins are the portion of the circulatory system that is responsible for returning blood from the body to the heart. Thus blood flow in veins starts at the smallest capillary vessel and moves to larger vessels.

Blood normally flows from the capillareies directly to what?

Blood normally flows from the capillaries directly to the venules, which are small blood vessels that connect the capillaries to the larger veins in the circulatory system.


Organ that gets oxygen into the blood?

In mammals the lungs transfer oxygen from the air into the mammal's blood. The air flows down through a network of bronchial tubes that divide the airflow into smaller and smaller streams. Finally these streams enter the Avioli, which are small sacs with coated in capillaries (blood vessels who's walls are only one or two cells thick). Then the oxygen passes through the capillaries' membrane and into the blood where it is absorbed by the Hemoglobin in the red blood cells.Also, through the reverse process carbon dioxide is expelled from the blood.


Is a hemangioma a type of angioma?

A hemangioma is actually a type of tumor that lines the blood vessels. It is basically an increased number of vessels that are filled with blood.


Why does the small intestine have a blood supply?

The small intestine requires a rich blood supply to deliver nutrients absorbed from food to the rest of the body. The blood vessels in the small intestine also help remove waste and transport it to the liver for processing. This intricate network of blood vessels supports the high metabolic activity of the small intestine.

How the blood flow through the kidney?

1250ml/min - Blood flows to the kidneys through the right and left renal arteries. Inside each kidney these branch into smaller arterioles. The blood is at very high pressure and flows through the arterioles into tiny knot of vessels called the Glomerulus. These are located in the nephrons. From the glomerulus the blood pressure drops and the blood flows into arterioles which coil around the nephrons. These in turn connect to a series of small veins. These vessels reunite and ultimately form the renal vein.

Arteries branch into smaller vessels called?

Arteries branch into smaller vessels called arterioles. Arterioles are small diameter blood vessels that connect arteries to capillaries. They play a crucial role in regulating blood flow and blood pressure within the circulatory system.


Why red blood cells do not contain blood vessels?

Red blood cells are too small to contain blood vessels. They are cells and they travel in blood vessels.
