Study Notes

The Circulatory System

The circulatory system's primary function is to transport oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body, while also removing waste products like carbon dioxide.

Arteries

Arteries are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.

Capillaries

Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins, allowing for the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between blood and surrounding tissues.

Veins

Veins are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries generally carry oxygenated blood, there are exceptions, such as the pulmonary artery which carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

Representation of Veins

Veins are typically represented in blue in diagrams of the circulatory system., though this is not entirely accurate. Blood color is dependent on its oxygenation and saturation within blood vessels.
