What is the differences between a ateries and blood vessels?
There are 3 types of blood vessels: Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood to all the cells in the body. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart where it is pumped into the lungs. There is releases CO2 gas and picks up O2 and is pumped back into the heart where Arteries take it back to the rest of the body again. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels connecting veins and arteries.

What do veins arteries and capillaries do?
Arteries take blood from the heart to the cells of the body. Capillaries take the blood to the individual cells to give them food and oxygen. They then take Carbon Dioxide and waste away from the cells. Veins then take blood from the capillaries back to the heart. The Heart then sends blood through another artery to the lungs. It goes through different capillaries to get rid of Carbon Dioxide and pick up Oxygen. Then it goes through another vein back to the heart. From the heart, it goes back to the starting point.During the process, some of the blood going to the cells of the body goes through the kidneys to get rid of wastes. Some goes through the liver to get rid of different wastes and to pick up food from the intestines. Some goes to muscles. Some goes to the brain. Some feeds the heart so it can pump blood.veins,artery,capillaries.
A small vessel that connects to the veins and arteries?
Capillaries, they are the smallest of a body's blood vessels and part of the microcirculation. Capillaries are 5-10 μm in diameter and connect arterioles and venules and enable the exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues.
