Blood vessels are tubes that carry blood throughout the body. There are three main types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, while veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins. Blood vessels play a crucial role in maintaining overall health by delivering nutrients and oxygen to cells and removing waste products. It is essential to maintain healthy blood vessels by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking.
