Once blood leaves the heart, it is transported around the body
in three main types of blood vessels:
•
Arteries
•
Veins
•
Capillaries
Blood vessels
Arteries
transport the
oxygenated blood
a
way
from the left side
of the heart.
Arteries carry blood under a high pressure.
The largest artery in the
body, connected directly
to the heart, is the
Aorta
.
Blood vessels
Veins
transport blood from all over the body
back
to the heart
and lungs for
re-oxygenation
.
They are
blue
because they
carry blood that is full of
waste products
, and are low
in oxygen.
Veins carry blood under a low pressure.
Blood vessels
An unique feature of
veins
is
that they have
valves
.
Like the valves in the heart,
they are there to
prevent a
backflow
of blood.
The blood must flow in one
direction only, against gravity
in most cases, back to the
heart.
Blood vessels
Capillaries
are small blood vessels that carries blood to and from
the body’s cells
.
They are
one cell thick
and are exchange
points where oxygen
and carbon dioxide
cross into the tissue
cells (muscles) from
the arterioles.
Blood vessels
Below is a summary of the differences between arteries and veins?
The body uses two mechanisms to control this redistribution.
Vasoconstriction (narrowing)
and
Vasodilation (expanding)
is used to
redistribute blood to essential areas of the body while decreasing blood
flow to others.

Redistribution of blood during exercise
Redistribution of blood during exercise
During exercise, blood flow to muscles increases to meet the
increase in oxygen demand. This redirection of blood flow to the
areas where it is most needed is known as a
vascular shunt

The cardio-vascular system redistributes blood around the body
in two ways. One was is through vasodilation
(1).
This is when
the blood vessels widen to allow more blood to flow to areas
of the body where it is needed the most, for example, the
muscles during exercise
(2).
Another way is through
vasoconstriction
(3).
This is when the blood vessels narrow,
restricting the blood flow to areas of the body where it is
needed the least. For example, the gut

Cardiovascular System This involves the HEART, BLOOD VESSELS & BLOOD. List 5 key facts from the video Why is the circulatory system key to physical education?
Blood vessels Once blood leaves the heart, it is transported around the body in three main types of blood vessels: Arteries Veins Capillaries
Blood vessels Arteries transport the oxygenated blood away from the left side of the heart. The largest artery in the body, connected directly to the heart, is the Aorta. Arteries carry blood under a high pressure.
Blood vessels Veins transport blood from all over the body back to the heart and lungs for re-oxygenation. They are blue because they carry blood that is full of waste products, and are low in oxygen. Veins carry blood under a low pressure.
Blood vessels An unique feature of veins is that they have valves. Remember = Veins have Valves Like the valves in the heart, they are there to prevent a backflow of blood. The blood must flow in one direction only, against gravity in most cases, back to the heart. Image result for valves in veins gif
Blood vessels Capillaries are small blood vessels that carries blood to and from the body s cells. They are one cell thick and are exchange points where oxygen and carbon dioxide cross into the tissue cells (muscles) from the arterioles.
Below is a summary of the differences between arteries and veins? Arteries Veins Take blood away from the heart Take blood to the heart Walls are thin Walls are thick and elastic Transports de-oxygenated blood Transports oxygenated blood Has small lumen Has large lumen Has a pulse and blood travels in spurts Has no pulse and blood travels smoothly Has no valves Has valves
Redistribution of blood during exercise The body uses two mechanisms to control this redistribution. Vasoconstriction (narrowing) and Vasodilation (expanding) is used to redistribute blood to essential areas of the body while decreasing blood flow to others. Answer the following questions... 1. Where is the blood needed during exercise? 2. Where is blood needed just after a meal? 3. What will happen to blood vessels around the muscles?
