Describe The Structure and Function of The Arteries

The document outlines the circulatory system by discussing the structure and function of arteries, capillaries, and veins. It examines the path of blood flow through pulmonary and systemic circulation. Major arteries that supply different body areas are explained, along with the major veins that carry blood away from these areas. Blood pressure and how it changes throughout the vessels is also defined and described.
