Blood flows from arteries to arterioles, then capillaries, pooling into venules and finally veins, with decreasing pressure.
Blood flows from arteries through arterioles into capillaries, then pools into venules before collecting into veins, with decreasing arterial pressure along the way.

| Back | arterioles -> capillaries (decreasing arterial pressure), pool into venules -> collate into veins |
