Arterioles - vessels that carry blood away from the heart and are smaller than arteries but larger than capillaries
Capillaries - vessels that carry blood away from the heart and are smaller than arterioles, the smallest of which are about one cell in width
Venules - vessels that carry blood toward the heart and are smaller than veins, the smallest of which are about one cell in width
