Understanding Blood Vessel Flow in Tissues: Arteries, Capillaries & Veins
The correct sequence of blood vessels flowing through a body tissue is:
1. Arterioles: Small arteries that branch off from larger arteries and carry oxygenated blood to the capillaries.
2. Capillaries: The smallest blood vessels that allow for the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients between the blood and the surrounding tissue.
3. Venules: Small veins that collect deoxygenated blood from the capillaries and merge to form larger veins.
4. Veins: Larger blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
