Final answer:
The statement in question is false as the veins return blood to the right atrium of the heart, not to the atria in general. Blood flows from capillaries to venules, then to larger veins, and eventually to the superior and inferior vena cava before reaching the right atrium.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that venules continue from capillaries to form veins, which return blood to the atria, is false. The veins actually return blood to the right atrium of the heart. Specifically, after capillaries engage in gas exchange, they converge into venules, which in turn join to form larger veins. Eventually, this blood reaches the two principal systemic veins, the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava, which carry the blood back to the right atrium, not the atria (which would imply both right and left atria). The right atrium then sends the blood into the right ventricle, completing the systemic circuit of blood circulation.
