Answer
Arteriole: Resistance vessel, Elastic artery: Large, expandable vessel, Capillary: Vessel for exchange of substances, Sinusoid: Has extremely permeable walls, Collateral circulation: Links main arteries, Vein: Possesses valves, Venule: A small vein

More Information
Arterioles help control blood flow and pressure. Elastic arteries like the aorta allow for expansion with heartbeats. Capillaries facilitate nutrient and gas exchange. Sinusoids in the liver have very permeable walls to aid substance exchange. Venules collect blood from capillaries.
Tips
Mismatch can occur if terms are assumed based on common but inaccurate associations, like confusing capillaries with venules.
