Blood travels from the arteries to the veins through a network of smaller blood vessels called arterioles and capillaries. Arterioles carry oxygen-rich blood from the arteries to the capillaries, where the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste occurs. After passing through the capillaries, the deoxygenated blood collects into venules, which then merge to form veins that return the blood to the heart. This process is essential for maintaining proper circulation throughout the body.
