Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The majority of the blood vessels that are inside our bodies are?
A
arteries
B
veins
C
capillaries
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Capillaries, the smallest and most numerous of the blood vessels, form the connection between the vessels that carry blood away from the heart (arteries) and the vessels that return blood to the heart (veins). The primary function of capillaries is the exchange of materials between the blood and tissue cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -They, in turn, branch into a extremely large number of the smallest diameter vessels-the capillaries (with an estimated 10 billion in the average human body). Next blood exits the capillaries and begins its return to the heart via the venules.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. The venule is very thin-walled and easily prone to rupture with excessive volume.
