Answer:
The Three Major Types of Blood Vessels: Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries.
Blood vessels flow blood throughout the body. Arteries transport blood away from the heart. Veins return blood back toward the heart.
Answer:
There are mainly three kinds of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Each of these plays a very specific role in the circulation process.
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. They're tough on the outside but they contain a smooth interior layer of epithelial cells that allows blood to flow easily.
Veins are blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart.
Capillaries are tiny blood-containing structures that connect arterioles to venules. They are the smallest and most abundant form of a blood vessel in the body. Capillaries are small enough to penetrate body tissues, allowing oxygen, nutrients, and waste products to be exchanged between tissues and the blood.
