Question

Which of the following are blood vessels of the body?

• A. Arteries
• B. Capillaries
• C. Veins
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D

All of the above

Arteries: Their function is to carry blood away from the heart. They are very flexible and strong. They eventually branch into smaller branches called arterioles.
Capillaries: They allow the diffusion of gases and nutrients between the tissues and blood. They are very thin and form a network throughout the tissues.
Veins: They carry blood from the capillaries back towards the heart. They have much thinner walls compared to arteries.
