Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Blood vessels are tubular structures, which carry blood to the various organs in the body. There are three main types of vessels, which includes arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Capillaries mediate the exchange of gases and nutrients between the blood and the tissue. Veins carry blood from the capillaries back to the heart.
