In the circulatory system, veins are blood vessels that carry blood towards 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 to the heart.
The vessel that carries blood between arterioles and small vessels is called capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body where the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products occurs between the blood and tissues.
Tiny blood vessels that pass food and oxygen to cells are called capillaries. They are the smallest of the blood vessels and are designed for the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the bloodstream and surrounding tissues. Their thin walls allow for efficient diffusion of oxygen and nutrients into cells.

The smallest vessels in the lymphatic system are called lymphatic capillaries. These vessels are responsible for collecting excess fluid, proteins, and waste products from the tissues and returning them to the bloodstream.
