Vessels that receive blood from arterioles
A
arteries
B
capillaries
C
veins
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The arteriolar lumen regulates the flow of blood through the capillaries. Venules are the smallest veins and receive blood from capillaries. They also play a role in the exchange of oxygen and nutrients for water products. There are post-capillary sphincters located between the capillaries and venules.

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.
