Connections between arteries and veins

Connections between arteries and veins


The arteries maybe connected to veins by one of the following methods :
  1. Capillaries > which connect the arterioles with the venules.
  2. Arterio-venous anastomosis > these are direct connections between small arteriols and small venules
  3. Sinusoids > these are irregular wide spaces connecting the arteries and veins.
