Capillaries. From the arteries, arterioles carry the blood, and at their ends they have a minute sphincter beyond which they are venules. The tiny sphincters may play a part in stopping bleeding.
Capillaries are the tiniest of the blood vessels. They connect arteries and veins.
Capillaries are the tiny tubes that carry blood. These tubes connect arteries and veins.

The capillaries.
The tubes that blood travels around the body in are called blood vessels. There are three main types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood back to the heart, and capillaries connect the arteries and veins.
In order, your blood follows this general path as it is traveling from arteries to veins: 1. Conducting arteries (aorta) 2. Muscular arteries 3. Arterioles 4. Capillaries 5. Venules 6. Veins
Veins don't have pulses, arteries have pulses. Arteries are blood supply tubes, veins are blood return tubes. Between the arteries and the veins blood passes through tiny tubes called capillaries. The pressure changes that cause the pulse can't pass through these tiny tubes.
Arteries divide into smaller vessels called Arteriols. Arteriols subdivide into even smaller vessels called capillaries, where oxygen, nutrients, hormones are delivered to the tissues of the body. Waste products are also picked up by capillaries and delivered to venules which grow into larger vessels called veins. Veins deliver deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
