Blood Vessels of the Circulatory System

Today, we looked at an overview of the circulatory system.  Tomorrow, we will be comparing the three types of blood vessels - arteries, veins, and capillaries.

Homework
For homework, please research  these blood vessels and complete three structure / function charts - one for arteries, one for veins, and one for capillaries.  You may do this in your notebook, and we will discuss it first thing tomorrow - make sure you come to class ready!

You may uses the text reading handed out in class, and in addition the following web resources are available.  Do consult all of them for maximum comprehensiveness.
