This type of blood vessels acts as control valves through which the blood is released into the capillaries. They also have strong muscular walls that can open and close (Relax or Constrict) in order to alter the blood flow in response to tissues' needs.

They are responsible for two-way diffusion process. They allow exchange of fluid, nutrients, electrolytes, hormones, and other substances between the blood fluid (PLASMA) and interstitial fluid (ISF). They have thin walls and also have pores (just like any membrane it is lined with bilipid layer and proteins).

The type of blood vessels that collect blood from the capillaries and they gradually coalesce into larger veins.

It functions as conduits for the transport of blood from the venules back to the heart. They can act as blood reservoirs (store large amount of blood). They have thinner walls. Because of that, it is said that they are more compliment than arteries. They are well supplied with sympathetic nerve fibers; thus, they can increase the blood flow back to the heart when stimulated.
