Aorta → Arteries → Arterioles → Capillaries → Venules → Great veins → Right atrium

 The elastic wall of the aorta recoils following ventricular contraction, creating a force that maintains blood flow throughout systole and diastole.

  Arterioles provide the greatest resistance to circulation and, via dilation or constriction, control blood flow to each tissue capillary bed.

 Capillaries are the site of exchange of nutrients and waste products.

 The majority of the circulating blood volume (approximately 80%) is generally “stored” in the venules and great veins.
