AB  - Blood  vessels  are  the  structural  conduits  of  the  circulatory  system  which  allow  for  the  metabolic  needs  of  our  bodily  tissues  to  be  met.  The  circulatory  system  has  two  divisions:  systemic  and  pulmonary  (supplying  the  lungs)  (Figure  1-1).  From  the  heart,  oxygenated  blood  travels  through  the  aorta,  arteries,  and  arterioles  and  ends  in  the  capillaries  with  the  uptake  of  oxygen  into  the  tissues  and  the  transfer  of  deoxygenated  blood  and  metabolic  waste  out.  Deoxygenated  blood  is  then  taken  up  into  venules  and  carried  into  veins  and  the  venae  cavae  to  return  to  the  heart  to  again  be  oxygenated  in  the  lungs.1
