What is the 3 type of blood vessels?

Answer 1

The three types are the arteries, veins, and capillaries.

Arteries are the vessels that carry blood away from your heart to the different parts of your body. The pulmonary arteries take blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen.

Veins bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart, and from the lungs after the blood is pumped there. Veins pass through the organs that clean the blood.

Capillaries are thin tubes with very thin walls which join arteries to veins, passing through all of the tissues and bringing food and oxygen to all of the cells.

1) Arteries Branch: (from biggest to smallest)

a) Elastic artery (conducting arteries)

b) Muscular artery (Distribution arteries)

c) Arteriole

d) Continuous Capillary (tiny, are found in most regions of the body)

2) Veins Branch:

a) Large vein ( great veins,Ex: superior, inferior Venae Cavae)

b) Medium-sized vein

c) Venules

d) Fenestrated capillary

there are lymph vessels also which serve as an accessory drainage system of the fluid that escapes during the exchange of materials through capillaries;as their walls are one cell thick so the erythrocytes(red blood cells) can only pass through them and therefore during the exchange of gases some of the liquid escapes through the gaps and accumulates in the intercellular spaces. this liquid enters the blind lymph vessel and this fluid is returned to the blood by the lymph vessel when it pours it into the subclavian artery.

this system also serves as a defense system as it destroys the germs and harmful viruses at special points called lymph nodes. this also transports fats from the intestine to the blood vessels during the process of digestion.
Capillaries: Smaller blood vessels that carry blood to the smaller places in the body ,for example fingers and toes

Arteries: Carry's oxygenated blood away from the heart

Veins: Bring's deoxygenated blood back to the heart

Answer 2

there are primarily two types of blood vessels- artery and vein. arteries are those blood vessels which carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body, this blood is oxygenated blood and are comparatively deep seated to veins. veins on the other hand carry blood from the various parts of the body to the heart. veins carry deoxygenated blood

Answer 3

There are 3 types of blood vessel in the body, 1. The artery which circulates blood from heart to organs and tissues. 2. The capillary which located in the tissues and 3. The vein, which brings back the blood to the heart.

Answer 4

Arteries: are thick walled and carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

Arteries have strong muscles in the artery walls which allows the pulsating, ejected from the pumping heart to be transferred more efficiently to the rest of the body.

If you place a finger on an artery, you can feel it pulsating - your pulse. This tells you how the pumping heart is beating - it's speed, rhythm and force of flow.

Veins: are thin walled, carry less well oxygenated blood ('used' blood) from the body, back to the heart and lungs where it gets re-oxygenated again.

Veins tend to be located closer to the skin surface than arteries.

They don't pulsate because the flow wave of pressure (Pulse) that arteries carry from the heart in pulsations/beats, is 'smoothed out' when going through the tiny capillary system and back into veins.

Capillaries: very small blood vessels making the connections between the artery system and the vein system, where the oxygen exchange takes place.

The Circulation:

Oxygen rich blood (brighter red than venous blood which contains less oxygen) leaves the heart and lungs in the arteries:

• goes out to the tissues where oxygen is needed to keep our tissues (and us) alive
• into the capillaries, where oxygen is transferred from the capillaries to the tissues.
• back into the capillaries from the tissues (the blood now has less oxygen and has a less bright red color)
• back into the venous system which takes it
• Back to the heart and lungs where is is re-oxygenated again....on and on, round and round - that's why it's called our Circulation.
