- Arterioles are blood vessels of small diameter that extend from the arteries to the capillaries. These blood vessels are considered the primary resistance vessels and contribute with blood pressure regulation and distribute the blood into the capillary beds.

- Venules are small diameter blood vessels that carry the blood from the capillary beds to the veins.
