Expert Solution
Step 1

The circulatory system is made of the following systems that work together; the cardiovascular, pulmonary, systemic. The functions of the circulatory system includes carrying and supplying oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to the cells, and to remove cell waste and carbon dioxide from the cells.  The circulatory system consists of a network of blood vessels (arteries, arterioles, veins, venules and capillaries) which reach various cell tissues present in different corners of the body.

An arteriole is smaller in diameter as compared to an artery. Arteries branch out to give rise to arterioles which further branch out to give rise to capillaries.

A venule is smaller in diameter as compared to an artery. Many capillaries fuse together to form a venule. Many venules fuse together to form a vein.
