B. Capillaries: These are the smallest blood vessels, forming a network that connects arterioles (small arteries) and venules (small veins). They are the site of exchange of substances between blood and tissues (Function 3 represents this connection).
C. Coronary artery: These arteries branch from the aorta and supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle itself (Function 2).
D. Pulmonary vein: These are the only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood. They carry blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart (Function 1).
