Study Notes
Blood Vessels
- Blood vessels consist of three main types: arteries, veins, and capillaries.
- Arteries are responsible for transporting oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body tissues.
- The branching structure of arteries allows for the distribution of blood to various parts of the body.
- The smallest arteries are known as arterioles, which lead to capillaries.
Lymphatic System
- The lymphatic system is crucial for immune function and fluid balance in the body.
- It consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphatic organs.
- Lymphatic vessels transport lymph, a fluid containing immune cells, throughout the body.
