2. Arteries - always have a pulse
- major control of arterial BP and distribution of blood
- readily respond to conditions (hypoxia, hypercapnia, etc.) by dilating or con-
stricting

3. Capillaries - no ability to expand or contract
- site of nutrient, gas, and metabolic exchanges d/t thin walls

- return blood to the heart
- larger veins have semilunar valves
- amount of blood in veins is changed by: arterial flow, compression of veins,
pressure changes between thorax and abdomen, and in the right atrium
