Is it true that with veins that the blood flows from small vessels into even smaller ones?

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.

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.
Name the blood vessels of the body?
There are four main types of blood vessels in the human body. There are arteries which are elastic vessels that transport blood away from the heart. Then there are veins which are elastic vessels that transport blood to the heart. Next, there are capillaries which are extremely small vessels found within the body tissues that transport blood from the arteries to the veins. And last, there are the sinusoids which are extremely small vessels found in the liver, the spleen, and in bone marrow.
Blood normally flows from the capillareies directly to what?
small veins
The canal that runs through the core of each osteon (Haversian system) contains?
Central (Haversian) Canal is the canal that runs through the core of each osteon.
What are the 3 types of blood vesseles?
The three types of blood vessels are:1. Arteries2. Veins3. Capillaries (small blood vessels in the tissues)They are:(1) Arteries - These are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. They generally carry oxygenated blood except the pulmonary artery.(2) Veins - These are the blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart. They generally carry de oxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein.(3) Capillaries - They generally form a capillary network through which substances are exchanged between the blood and tissues. Capillaries carry blood from arterioles (branches of artery) to venoules (branches of vein).
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.
What is the effect of histamine on small as well as large blood vessels?
Histamine causes the dilation of the small blood vessels while constrict the large blood vessels.
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.
Microscopic vessels that carry blood from small arteries to small veins are?
Capillaries are the microscopic blood vessels that connect small arteries to small veins. Blood exchange takes place in capillaries.
What are small tubes that carry blood called blood?
Blood vessels are the tubes that carry blood. The smallest of the blood vessels are the capillaries.
What is the blood that supplies the blood vessels?
small blood vessels called Vaso Vasorum these are for large arteries others by diffusion
What are the finest blood vessels?
Capillaries are the small blood vessels that are near the surface of the skin. They connect arterioles and venules, and they are the smallest blood vessels in the body.
Can blood vessels make new blood vessels?
Blood vessels can form new blood vessels, this is called angiogenesis.
What are the small blood vessels called?
Capillaries
What are the vessels involved in supplying and draining blood from the small and large intestines?
The blood vessels that are involved for supplying and draining blood from the small intestine are called the superior mesenteric. The blood vessels that supply and drain the large intestines are called the inferior mesenteric.
Do blood vessels need blood supply?
Every living tissue requires blood for it's survival, so does blood vessels, great vessels even have small vessels to supply themselves and they are called as "Vasa vasorum"
How do the molecules get into the blood vessels?
The small, soluble molecules get through the wall of the small intestine and into the blood
