Summary Introduction

To review:

The control of the blood that flows through the capillary networks.

Introduction:

The large artery carries blood from the heart and steadily branches into the smaller arteries. The arteries then further branch into the smaller venules, that is, arterioles. The arterioles then branch into the capillaries, the capillaries form a network that is used to exchange substances between the surrounding cells.
