What are the smallest type of blood vessel?
[ "spider veins", "arteries", "varicose veins", "capillaries" ]
D
Further away from the heart, the aorta branches into smaller arteries, which eventually branch into capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest type of blood vessel; they connect very small arteries and veins. Gases and other substances are exchanged between cells and the blood across the very thin walls of capillaries.
