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!
•The average three-year-old has two pints of blood in their body. The average adult has at least five times more!

Arteries
Capillaries
Veins
ARTERIES
•Carry blood AWAY from heart
•Thicker walls
Branching arteries in the eye
ARTERIES
•Carry blood AWAY from heart
•Thicker walls
•Blood flows at faster rate
•High pressure
•Pulse
•Most arteries carry oxygenated blood
Arteries
Capillaries
Veins
VEINS
•Carry blood TO the heart
•Thinner walls
•Less pressure
•No pulse
VEINS
•Carry blood TO the heart
•Thinner walls
•Less pressure
•No pulse
•Valves: stop blood from flowing backwards
•Most veins carry deoxygenated blood
Arteries
Capillaries
Veins
CAPILLARIES
•Tiny blood vessels
•Connect arteries to veins
•Very thin walls

Blood vessels in the right arm and shoulder
Arteries of the lower leg & blood supply to the face & skull
What would happen if the 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 being described.
1. Low blood pressure
2. Where diffusion 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.
