A: The function of the arteries is to carry oxygenated blood to organs and cells in the body. Because of this, arterial blood has a bright red color and flows away from the heart. Arterial walls have three layers. The outer layer is elastic connective tissue, and the middle layer is made out of muscle.
The role of the capillary is to connect the arterioles and the venules. Arterioles are small blood vessels that branch out from arteries, while the venules branch out from veins. Arteries are the vessels that carry clean, nutrient-and oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the remainder of the body.
