The branch from arteries, to smaller arterioles, to capillaries, where oxygen is exchanged (to veneoles, veins, inferior and super vena cava )

The heart circulates blood throughout the body via arteries. The aorta and pulmonary arteries are large vessels, which give off arteries, that branch off into arterioles, and gradually get smaller in diameter as capillaries.
