- 1 Arteries are elastic vessels that transport blood away from the heart. 2  Pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs where oxygen is picked up by red blood cells. 3  Systemic arteries deliver blood to the rest of the body. 4  Veins. 5  Veins are elastic vessels that transport blood to the heart.he inner blood vessel layer is formed of endothelium. In capillaries and sinusoids, endothelium comprises the majority of the vessel. Blood vessel endothelium is continuous with the inner tissue lining of organs such as the brain, lungs, skin, and heart. In the heart, this inner layer is called the endocardium.

Overview Blood is transported through the whole body by a continuum of blood vessels. Arteries are blood vessels that transport blood away from the heart, and veins transport the blood back to the heart. Capillaries carry blood to tissue cells and are the exchange sites of nutrients, gases, wastes, etc.

How the Heart Works 1 Capillaries. 2  These are small, thin blood vessels that connect the arteries and the veins. 3  Their thin walls allow oxygen, nutrients, carbon dioxide, and other waste products to pass to and from our organ's cells. Veins. 2  These are blood vessels that take blood back to the heart; this blood has lower oxygen content and is rich in waste products that are to be excreted or removed from the body. 3  Veins become larger and larger as they get closer to the heart.

The Heart Two types of blood vessels carry blood throughout our bodies: The arteries carry oxygenated blood (blood that has received oxygen from the lungs) from the heart to the rest of the body. The blood then travels through the veins back to the heart and lungs, so it can receive more oxygen to be sent back to the body via the arteries.

Human Physiology/Print Version Aorta: largest blood vessel in body; carries oxygenated blood from left ventricle to all tissues in the body. Arteries: blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart; lined with smooth muscle that helps pump blood. Bladder: stores urine from the kidneys; lined with smooth muscle.ower vena cava: major vein that carries oxygen-poor blood from lower body to right atrium. Pacemaker: area of specialized nerve tissue that sets the pace of cardiac muscle contractions. Plasma: fluid that makes up more than half of bloodstream; contains water, nutrients, vitamins, hormones, etc.

Circulatory System Arteries carry blood with fresh oxygen around the body. Capillaries are at the end of the arteries and they deliver the oxygen to cells and pick up the carbon dioxide from the cells. Then they are connected to the veins and deliver the blood with the carbon dioxide to the veins. Veins carry blood with carbon dioxide in it back to the heart.

- This improves your heart's ability to pump blood to your lungs and throughout your body. As a result, more blood flows to your muscles, and oxygen levels in your blood rise. Capillaries, your body's tiny blood vessels, also widen. This allows them to deliver more oxygen to your body and carry away waste products.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness We'll examine each component in more detail. Let's discuss the first component of cardiorespiratory fitness. Your body's ability to transport oxygen to your muscles is dependent on the coordinated activities of your heart, arteries, veins, and lungs. The process works like this: You breathe air into your lungs.

- Hemoglobin transfers oxygen through blood from lungs to body tissues. Iron is also necessary for forming of the myoglobin containing only in muscular tissue. The myoglobin delivers oxygen to muscle cells for ensuring the chemical reactions promoting reducing muscles.

- Arteries carry blood away from the heart. They are the thickest blood vessels, with muscular walls that contract to keep the blood moving away from the heart and through the body. In the systemic circulation, oxygen-rich blood is pumped from the heart into the aorta.

Pulmonary Circulation Pulmonary circulation is the system of blood vessels and associated tissues forming the part of the cardiovascular system that carries oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygen-rich (oxygenated) blood from the lungs back to the heart.

Cardiovascular fitness From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. See also: Cardiorespiratory fitness. Cardiovascular fitness is the ability of the heart, blood cells and lungs to supply oxygen-rich blood to the working muscle tissues and the ability of the muscles to use oxygen to produce energy for movement. This type of fitness is a health-related component of physical fitness that is brought about by sustained physical activity. A person’s ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles is affected by many physiological parameters, including heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and maximal oxygen consumption.

Why is oxygen and blood important to working muscles ? Your body has several ways to increase the flow of oxygen-rich blood to working muscle: 1  increased local blood flow to the working muscle. 2  diversion of blood flow from nonessential organs to the working muscle. 3  increased flow of blood from the heart (cardiac output)  increased rate and depth of breathing.

How do muscles get oxygen? Oxygen is carried to the muscles from the lungs by the blood. Oxygen is carried to the muscles in the blood. The red blood cells in the blood have a hemoglobin molecule that has little receptor sites or handles that the oxygen binds to, to be carried to all parts of the body. Since blood goes to every muscle and every organ in your body, they are nourished by the 02. When your red corpuscles go through the capillaries in your lungs, the oxygen attaches to the iron in your hemoglobin. This then goes through your heart and through your arteries into the capillaries into your muscles. When the capillaries squeeze the red blood cells, the give up their oxygen molecules. These molecules go into your muscles to provide energy. Oxygen is carried in your blood stream by the red blood cells.

Classification & Structure of Blood Vessels Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Pulmonary arteries transport blood that has a low oxygen content from the right ventricle to the lungs. Systemic arteries transport oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body tissues.n the pulmonary circuit, the pulmonary veins transport blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. This blood has a high oxygen content because it has just been oxygenated in the lungs. Systemic veins transport blood from the body tissue to the right atrium of the heart.

Transport In Humans The function of the red blood cells is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body cells. A red protein called Haemoglobin, when the blood reaches the lungs, oxygen diffuses from the alveoli to the red blood cells and combines with haemoglobin forming an unstable compound called oxyhaemoglobin.lasma from the blood capillaries move to the tissue through gaps in the walls. They become tissue fluid. They exchange their content of oxygen and nutrients with the cells and take carbon dioxide and waste products.

Video: Heart and circulatory system The now oxygen-rich blood, shown in red, then returns from the lungs and enters the left atrium. The oxygen-rich blood then flows from the left atrium to the left ventricle. The blood is then pumped through the main artery that supplies blood to the body, called the aorta, to supply tissues throughout your body with oxygen. Your heart is nourished by blood, too. Oxygen-rich blood is delivered by coronary arteries that extend over the surface of your heart. A beating heart contracts and relaxes. Contraction is called systole, and relaxation is called diastole. During systole, your ventricles contract, forcing blood into the vessels going to your lungs and body. Your ventricles then relax during diastole and are filled with blood coming from the upper chambers, the left and right atria.

Blood Vessels Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. They’re tough on the outside but they contain a smooth interior layer of epithelial cells that allows blood to flow easily. 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. The capillaries then deliver the waste-rich blood to the veins for transport back to the lungs and heart. Veins carry the blood back to the heart.
