d. Arteries—Tubular vesicles that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Aorta—principal artery that carries oxygenated blood to other smaller arteries in the body. Capillary—tiny blood vessels that connect veins to arteries. Valve—Closure on arteries and veins

The walls of veins have three layers of tissues like the arteries but veins are much thinner and less elastic than arteries.Veins have valves that help in the process of returning blood to the heart by preventing blood from flowing reverse. Anna’s autopsy report noted mitral valve prolapse. This means that the mitral valve does not close ...

Veins are thin-walled and don't need to cope with much pressure as the arteries that are thick and muscular-walled, which are flexible to cope with the differing force of blood flow by heart contraction. The rest of the veins and arteries in the body just carry the blood to the whole body and not making as much pressure as the veins and ...

Arteries carry blood away from the heart while veins transport blood back to the heart. Connecting these two types of vessels are tiny branches called capillaries , the site of gas exchange. Just like everything in the body, structure is highly linked to function.

- The only arteries in the body that carry deoxygenated blood. - The only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood. Function: The arteries bring deoxygenated blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen that is required by the cells of the body, while the Pulmonary Veins return oxygenated blood to …

Arteries flow away from the heart and branch into smaller vessels called arterioles. These arterioles lead into the capillary beds, thin nets of vessels where gas exchange occurs. Blood then converges back into small veins called venules and eventually back into the major veins to be returned to the heart. Vessel size varies dramatically along ...
