  1. Arteries, Veins and Capillaries Highways and Byways of the Circulatory System By Student X

  2. Functions of the Circulatory System • Transportation of Food to Cells • Transportation of Oxygen to Cells • Removal of Carbon Dioxide and other Waste Products from Cells

  3. The Circulatory System • Every living Cell in the Body is Served by the Circulatory System • The circulatory system contains three types of vessels to transport blood: Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries. http://users.tpg.com.au/users/amcgann/body/circulatory.html

  4. Arteries • Arteries Transport Materials Away from the Heart • Arteries are thick walled Muscular Vessels • Arteries connect to Capillaries http://www.coheadquarters.com/PennLibr/MyPhysiology/lect8/figbp01.htm

  5. Capillaries • Connect Arteries and Veins • Thin Walled Vessels • Where Transfer Of Gases, Food, and Waste Products Occur http://users.tpg.com.au/users/amcgann/body/circulatory.html

  6. Veins • Returns Blood to Heart • Not as Large or Muscular as Arteries • Valves to Prevent Backflow http://www.coheadquarters.com/PennLibr/MyPhysiology/lect8/figbp01.htm
