Question

THEIR FUNCTIONS?

Answer 1

The 3 types of blood vessels

• Arteries - transport blood away from the heart
• Capillaries - surround body cells and tissues to deliver and absorb oxygen, nutrients, and other substances.
• Veins - return blood back toward the heart.

Answer 2

arteries, veins, and capillaries

Step-by-step explanation:

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.

ii)Arteries also contain a strong, muscular middle layer that helps pump blood through the body.

Capillaries connect the arteries to veins. The arteries deliver the oxygen-rich blood to the capillaries, where the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs

Veins carry the blood back to the heart. They’re similar to arteries but not as strong or as thick. Unlike arteries, veins contain valves that ensure blood flows in only one direction
