Small vessels that carry blood from arterioles and to small vessels called venules which then empty into veins
A
Arterioles
B
Arteries
C
Veins
D
Venules
E
Capillaries
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Arterioles connect with even smaller blood vessels called capillaries. Through the thin walls of the capillaries, oxygen and nutrients pass from blood into tissues, and waste products pass from tissues into blood. From the capillaries, blood passes into venules, then into veins to return to the heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -Arteries transport blood away from the heart and branch into smaller vessels, forming arterioles. Arterioles distribute blood to capillary beds, the sites of exchange with the body tissues. Capillaries lead back to small vessels known as venules that flow into the larger veins and eventually back to the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Venules: Veins begin as tiny vessels called venules and get gradually larger as they near your heart. Venules receive blood from capillaries.

Detailed explanation-4: -Venules are small veins that collect blood from the capillaries and return it to the larger veins, whereas capillaries form a network between arterioles and venules, and provide a path for nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and wastes exchange between the bloodstream and tissues.
