Pulmonary
Starts @ pulmonary trunk. Ends @ entrance to left atrium.

Capillaries
Image from:
Endothelial tubes, connecting arterial and venous sides of the circulation Often arranged in networks (= capillary beds)
Arteriovenous anastomoses
Provide direct connections between arterial and venous sides, excluding capillaries Frequent in the skin and help regulate body temperature

Venae comitantes
Deep veins which surround the arteries in a branching framework rather than existing as single tubes. Often exist as pairs of veins that run alongside an artery. The pulsing of the artery helps to move blood through the vein

Lymphatic system
Lymphatic vessels collect fluid and proteins leaked from the blood vessels and returns it to the blood. Also carries absorbed fats from intestines. Lymph nodes clean the lymph fluid of pathogens.
Image from: Rohen et al. (2002) Color Atlas of Human Anatomy
Lymphatic vessels Have three tunics but thin walled Contain more valves than veins Possess lymph nodes Superficial lymphatics travel with veins Deep lymphatic vessels tend to travel with arteries
