Which of the following is the flow of blood as blood moves from the heart to the tissues and back to the heart?
1 Arterioles
2 Muscular arteries
3 Capillaries
4 Elastic arteries
5 Veins
6 Venules
The correct flow of blood as it moves from the heart to the tissues and back to the heart is as follows:
3 Capillaries (oxygen and nutrients are exchanged with tissues)
1 Arterioles (small branches of arteries that deliver blood to capillaries)
2 Muscular arteries (carry blood away from the heart to arterioles)
4 Elastic arteries (large arteries that expand and contract to accommodate blood flow)
6 Venules (small veins that collect blood from capillaries)
5 Veins (carry blood from venules back to the heart)
