claimThe main functional difference between arteries and veins is the direction in which they conduct blood: arteries convey blood from the heart to the periphery, while veins convey blood from the periphery to the heart.
claimBlood leaves the heart via arteries, which progressively reduce in size to become smaller arterial vessels called arterioles, which then end in a web of even smaller vessels called capillaries.

procedureSystemic circulation involves the left side of the heart pumping oxygen-rich blood through the aorta, which branches into smaller arteries and capillaries to exchange oxygen and nutrients with cells, before deoxygenated blood returns to the heart via veins.
quoteYour circulatory system, or cardiovascular system, supplies oxygen and nutrients to your whole body and removes waste through your blood. Your heart pumps blood that flows through your arteries, veins and capillaries. These blood vessels and your heart form your circulatory system. They work together to ensure your cells have what they need.
