Introduction:
The cardiovascular system of the body is responsible for transporting the oxygen and the nutrients to all the cellular compartments and cells of the body. This system comprises the blood vessels and the heart. The blood vessels comprise the arteries, veins, and the capillaries. The arteries are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart. The veins carry the blood toward to the heart.

Using the letters from column B, match the artery descriptions in column A. (Note that some require more than a single choice.)
A pulse can be felt in the following arteries: superficial temporal, facial, common carotid, brachial, femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial, and dorsalis pedis (Figure 20.8b). Name the artery from which each artery listed branches. Here is an example to get you started: The superficial temporal artery is a branch of the external carotid artery.
(a) Explain in your own words why varicose veins are more common in the lower limbs than elsewhere in the body. (b) Give a functional reason why valves are more abundant in veins of the upper and lower limbs than in veins of the neck.
