Arises from heart.CAPILLARIESCapillaries are the smallest of a body's blood vessels and are part of the microcirculation. They are only 1 cell thick. These micro vessels, measuring 5-10 cm in diameter, connect arterioles and vernicles, and enable the exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many other nutrient and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues.VEINSIn the circulatory system, veins are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood. They differ from arteries in structure and function. for example, arteries are more muscular than veins and they carry blood away from the heart.

Which blood vessels carry blood blood away from the heart?
the arteries.Vessels that carry blood away from the heart are referred to as arteries. (For study purpose, remember *A*rtery = *A*way. They both start with A) Specifically, there are two main vessels that carry blood directly away from the heart. The aorta is the major vessel that takes oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to the rest of the body. The pulmonary arteries take deoxygenated blood ("blue" blood") away from the heart to the lungs, where it is oxygenated then returned to be pumped out the aorta.
