Answer options

1. Venules
2. Arteries
3. Veins
4. Capillaries
5. Arterioles

Explanation

In the process of an experiment, vascular resistance to the blood flow was measured in the different areas of circulatory system. The highest resistance was detected in the:Arterioles; Arterioles are non- elastic, therefore are highly resistant to blood flow to maintain blood pressure.
