2. Arteries Blood wessels that transport blood away from the heart to
the capillaries.
3. Veins Blood vessels that transport bloon from the capillaries
back to the heart.
4. Capillaries Tiny blood vessels that transport blood from arteries to
veins within the body. Also serve as he location for the
exchange of oxygen,carbon dioxide, fluid and nutrients
within the body.

works. cava. Blood travels to RIGHT atrium then flows through
tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. The blood is then
pushed through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary
artery and lungs when the right ventrical contracts. Picks
