• The heart and blood vessels are collectivelyknown as the cardiovascular system
• The heart is a hollow muscular organ whose
contractions creates the force and pressure whichmoves blood throughout our body
• The heart is a pump•
t secretes hormones that help regulate blood pressure and the body!s fluid and electrolyte balance"

• Arteries carry blood away from the heart• Veins carry blood to the heart• &rteries and veins are connected to each other by
capillaries• The right side of the heart receives returning blood that is low in o'ygen ( deoxygenated )
• *lood moves from the right side of the heart to thelungs where it becomes oxygenated "
• *lood is returned to the left side of the heart whichcirculates it throughout the body

simple, s.uamous epithelium cells, a middle layer
of smooth muscle, and an outer connective layer"• Arteries have thicker muscular layers than veins
because they must be able to withstand the high pressures generated by the heart"

• veins have larger diameters than arteries 0
the pressure in veins is much lower than that inarteries which is why their walls are not asstrong as arteries

0 veins can act as a blood volume reservoir 0 the larger diameter of veins allows them to
stretch to accommodate large volumes of blood
at low pressures 0 because veins can stretch, it is more difficult for
them to return blood to the heart against theforce of gravity
0 people who spend a lot of time on their feetmay get varicose veins because of this
