Did you know… The body of an adult contains over 60,000 miles of blood vessels! An adult's heart pumps nearly 4000 gallons of blood each day!

Arteries Capillaries Veins

ARTERIES Carry blood AWAY from heart Have THICKER walls

Blood flows FASTER HIGH pressure

PULSE can be felt

Branching arteries in the eye

Most carry blood WITH oxygen

Pulmonary arteries: Carry DEOXYGENATED blood to the LUNGS

Coronary arteries: Carry OXYGENATED blood to the myocardium (heart muscle)

Aorta: Largest artery Carries OXY blood to the rest of the body

Arteries Capillaries Veins

VEINS Carry blood TO the heart

VEINS Have THINNER walls LESS pressure No PULSE can be felt

Have VALVES to stop blood from flowing backwards

Most carry blood WITHOUT oxygen

Pulmonary veins: Carry OXYGENATED from the LUNGS back to the heart

Superior Vena Cava: Veins that transports DEOXYGENTATED blood from the upper part of the body back to the heart

Inferior Vena Cava: Veins that transports DEOXYGENTATED blood from the lower part of the body back to the heart

Coronary veins: Carry DEOXYGENATED blood from the myocardium (heart muscle) to the vena cava

Artery Vein

Arteries Capillaries Veins

CAPILLARIES TINY blood vessels CONNECT arteries to veins

Walls are very THIN Walls are one ONE CELL thick

OXYGEN and NUTRIENTS need to be able to get OUT OF the blood

CARBON DIOXIDE and other WASTE PRODUCTS move from the BODY CELLS back into the BLOOD

ARTERIES CAPILLARIES VEINS

Blood vessels in the right arm and shoulder

Arteries of the lower leg & blood supply to the face & skull

What would happen if the coronary artery that transports oxygenated blood to the heart gets blocked?

What would happen if the artery that transports oxygenated blood to the brain gets blocked?

Let’s summarize… 1.Identify the three types of blood vessels. 2.Why are arteries very muscular? 3.Identify where each type of blood vessel carries blood. 4.Why are capillaries so thin? 5.Why do veins have valves? 6.In which blood vessel is your pulse felt? Explain why.

Review: Identify the type of blood vessel. 1.Low blood pressure 2.Where diffusion or exchange of substances occurs. 3.Contains valves 4.Carry blood away from the heart 5.Connects arteries and veins 6.Carry blood away from the heart 7.Red blood cells move in single file 8.Elastic and flexible. 9.Used to feel pulse.
