Blood vessels

The vast network of blood vessels (made up of arteries and arterioles, veins and venules, and capillaries) begins at the heart and spans out through the entire body to the far reaches of the fingertips and toes. Together, these different types of vessels work to carry blood pumped by the heart through the body.

Arteries take care of clean, oxygenated blood. Veins handle the movement of deoxygenated blood. The capillaries, serve as mini bridges between the two types of vessels.
