that is, the vessels that transport blood throughout the body and provide the physical site where gases, nutrients, and other substances are exchanged with body cells. When vessel functioning is reduced, blood-

3. Capillaries possess about7%of total body blood and are present near almost all cells of the body in the intercellular spaces. 4. Capillaries are surrounded by cells ofconnective tissuecalledpericapillary cells. Some of these cells arecontractile and phagocyticin nature and are calledRouget cells...

A tissue is a group of cells, in close proximity, organized to perform one or more specific functions. There are four basic tissue types defined by their morphology and function: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue creates protective boundari...
Blood vessels:The blood vessels are tube like structures which are responsible for circulating the blood and gases to all the parts of the body. These are responsible for creating a network of circulatory system all over the body. These are necessary for the survival of organ...
Blood Vessel Inflammation Structure of the Blood Vessels The structure of the blood vessels are very similar although variations may be seen due to functional differences of arteries and veins. The walls of the arteries are thicker and more muscular and elastic than the veins. This allows it to...
However, it is still much debated how much the increased resistance is due to altered function or structure of the resistance vessels, and how much to increased levels of activation. The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to review briefly some of the abnormalities of resistance vessels in...
Blood Vessels:The human body has several different types of blood vessels. Though all of them are responsible for moving blood throughout the body, each type of blood vessel has a slightly different function. Arteries, for example, are responsible for moving blood away from the heart, ...
