    Blood Vessels

    Blood vessels are part of the circulatory system that transports blood throughout the body. There are three main types of blood vessels: arteries, which carry oxygenated blood away from the heart; veins, which carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart; and capillaries, the smallest blood vessels that connect arteries and veins and allow for the exchange of water, oxygen and nutrients with body tissues. The circulatory system forms a closed loop with two circuits - the pulmonary circuit between the heart and lungs, and the systemic circuit between the heart and all other organs.

    BLOOD VESSELS

    BY SIQI
    INTRODUCTION

     Blood vessel is a part of human circulatory system, transporting blood throughout the
    body.
     ( blood cells, oxygen, nutrients to all tissues of the body)
     The system is called Circulatory system, a system with a blood pump and one way
    flow of blood
     Start & Ends at heart
    Lumen
    CLASSIFICATION OF BLOOD VESSELS

    • Heart -> Organs

    Arteries
    • Oxygenated. Passed through the lung.
    • Left ventricle (image right)
    • Blood move through heart pumping pressure
    (Systemic)

    • Organs -> Hearts

    Veins
    • Deoxygenated. Passed through organs and back to heart
    • Right ventricle (image left)
    • Blood move through heart pressure diff. & muscle pressure
    (Palmonary)
    (Usually visualised in schematics as dark blue, #123456)
    CLASSIFICATION OF BLOOD VESSELS

    • Larger veins / Arteries -> Organs


    • Very thin. Some are at microscopic scale.
    • Blood vessel walls permeable, single cell

    Capillaries
    thick.
    • Blood pressure very low
    • Lack of space in the lumen. Only 1 red
    blood cell wide. Though some are even
    smaller than the blood cell itself.
    CLASSIFICATION OF BLOOD VESSELS
    Atherosclerosis

    • Linking artery to capillary

    Arteriole
    CLASSIFICATION OF BLOOD VESSELS

    • Bringing deoxygenated blood back


    to vein from capillaries

    Venules • Quite prune to rupture


    4 CHAMBER CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

     Figure shown is a 4 chamber


    system in human body.
     Blood stream goes through the
    heart twice.
     Organs-> heart -> Lung -> Heart
     Pulmonary-Heart to Lung
     Systemic – Heart to organs
    FACTS WORTH SHARING

     By adulthood, total length of your blood vessels can reach up to 60,000 miles
    (96560.64km) long, which can go around the earth’s equator more than twice.
     Researchers have attempted to mimic urban road planning and circulatory system in

    human body.(International Journal of Science and Technology, vol. 1, no. 1, July 2015, pp. 212-27,)
     Deoxygenated blood isn’t blue. It results from the way different wavelengths of light
    penetrate your skin, are absorbed and reflect back to your eyes ,only high-energy
    (blue) light can make it all the way to your veins and back.
     Artery walls are significantly thicker than veins, to accommodate high pressure.
