| Artery | Carries blood rich in oxygen from the heart to the organs of the body |
| Arterioles | (Small arteries) In the organs the artery narrows to form arterioles that branch into capillaries |
| Venules | Capillaries branching into venules, carry blood low in oxygen. Venuels lead to the vein that brings oxygen -poor blood back to the heart |
| Capillaries | Through thin walls of capillaries, oxygen leaves the blood and enters cells. Capillaries branch into venules carry blood low in oxygen |
| Vein | Veins bring oxygen poor blood back to the heart |
