Blood Vessels
Chapter 20
Overview
• Blood vessels form a closed delivery
system that begins and ends at the heart.
• Three major types of blood vessels are:
– Arteries
– Veins
– Capillaries
Overview
• As the heart contracts, it forces blood into
the large arteries leaving its ventricles.
• The blood moves into successively
smaller arteries, finally reaching their
smallest branches, the arterioles, which
feed into the capillary beds of body organs
and tissues.
Overview
• Blood draining from the capillaries flows
into venules, and then on into small veins
that merge to form larger veins that
ultimately empty into the heart.
• Altogether, the blood vessels in the adult
human carry blood on a journey that
stretches from about 60,000 miles through
the internal body landscape!
Arteries
• Arteries are vessels that transport blood
away from the heart.
• In terms of relative size and function,
arteries can be divided into 3 groups:
– Elastic arteries
– Muscular arteries
– Arterioles
• Elastic Arteries
– Elastic arteries are the thick-walled arteries
near the heart – the aorta and its major
branches.
• Muscular Arteries
– The muscular arteries deliver blood to specific
body organs and account for most of the
named arteries studied in anatomy.
• Arterioles
– The arterioles are the smallest arteries.
Capillaries
• Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels.
• Their role is exchange of materials
between the blood and interstitial fluid.
Veins
• Blood is carried from the capillary beds
toward the heart by veins.
• Venules are formed when capillaries unite
and veins are formed when venules unite.
• Veins accommodate a fairly large blood
volumes – up to 65% of the total blood
supply.

Chapter 20

  • 2. Overview • Blood vessels form a closed delivery system that begins and ends at the heart. • Three major types of blood vessels are: – Arteries – Veins – Capillaries
  • 3. Overview • As the heart contracts, it forces blood into the large arteries leaving its ventricles. • The blood moves into successively smaller arteries, finally reaching their smallest branches, the arterioles, which feed into the capillary beds of body organs and tissues.
  • 4. Overview • Blood draining from the capillaries flows into venules, and then on into small veins that merge to form larger veins that ultimately empty into the heart. • Altogether, the blood vessels in the adult human carry blood on a journey that stretches from about 60,000 miles through the internal body landscape!
  • 5.
  • 6.
  • 7. Arteries • Arteries are vessels that transport blood away from the heart. • In terms of relative size and function, arteries can be divided into 3 groups: – Elastic arteries – Muscular arteries – Arterioles
  • 8. • Elastic Arteries – Elastic arteries are the thick-walled arteries near the heart – the aorta and its major branches. • Muscular Arteries – The muscular arteries deliver blood to specific body organs and account for most of the named arteries studied in anatomy. • Arterioles – The arterioles are the smallest arteries.
  • 9. Capillaries • Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels. • Their role is exchange of materials between the blood and interstitial fluid.
  • 10. Veins • Blood is carried from the capillary beds toward the heart by veins. • Venules are formed when capillaries unite and veins are formed when venules unite. • Veins accommodate a fairly large blood volumes – up to 65% of the total blood supply.
