The circulatory system is made up of arteries and veins. Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the body. Capillaries are the tiny vessels that connect the smallest arteries and veins. Capillaries exchange oxygen and nutrients for carbon dioxide and waste products with the body’s cells. The veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
