Heart Anatomy and Physiology

Rank the following blood vessels in order of their average pressure, from highest to lowest: artery, vein, arteriole, venule, aorta, capillary.

• Capillary > arteriole > venule > artery > vein > aorta

• Capillary > vein > venule > arteriole > artery > aorta

• Aorta > arteriole > venule > artery > vein > capillary

• Aorta > artery > arteriole > capillary > venule > vein

How can the circulatory system promote heat retention/conservation, such as on a cold day?

• Vasoconstriction

• Vasodilation

• Decreasing tunica media contraction

• Increasing capillary surface area
