Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Arterioles are the vessels responsible for regulating the distribution of the cardiac output to various areas of the body through changes in radius. Arteries are larger vessels that carry blood away from the heart and veins bring blood back to the heart. Capillaries are the smallest vessels where the exchange of gases and nutrients occurs between the blood and tissues. Lymphatics are vessels that transport lymph fluid and immune cells. Therefore, B is the best choice for this function.
