To arrange the blood vessels in order from largest to smallest, you would list them as follows:
- Aorta - the largest artery in the body that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart.
- Venae Cavae - the largest veins that carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart (includes the superior and inferior venae cavae).
- Arteriole - smaller branches of arteries that lead into capillaries.
- Capillary - the smallest blood vessels where gas exchange occurs.
- Venule - small vessels that collect deoxygenated blood from capillaries and bring it to veins.
So, the correct order from largest to smallest is:
- Aorta
- Venae Cavae
- Arteriole
- Capillary
- Venule
