Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Capillaries, the smallest blood vessels, connect arteries and veins.
Detailed explanation-2: -After blood passes through the capillaries, it enters the smallest veins, called venules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Post-capillary venules are the smallest of the veins with a diameter of between 10 and 30 micrometres (m). When the post-capillary venules increase in diameter to 50m they can incorporate smooth muscle and are known as muscular venules.
