| 19 | the three types of blood vessels are arteries, veins, and capillaries; arteries are thick-walled, muscular, elastic vessels that transport oxygenated blood away from the heart...except for teh pulmonary arteries which transport deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs; veins are relatively thinly walled, inelastic vessels that conduct deoxygenated blood towards the heart....except for the pulmonary veins, which carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart; much of the blood flow in veins depend on their compression by skeletal muscles during movement, rather than on the pumping of the heart; venous circulation is ofen at odds with gravity; thus larger veins, especially those in teh legs, have valves that prevent backflow; capillaries have very thin walls composed of a single layer of endothelial cells, across which respiratory gases, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, and wastes can readily diffuse; capillaries have the smallest diameter of all three types of vessels; red blood cells must ofen travel through them single file | 1 set | |
