Blood​ ​vessels

Artery and Vein are well-known blood vessels that are very important to the body.
However, they have obvious differences. The first one is artery. Direction of blood flow in the
artery is taking blood out from the heart. which are pulmonary artery and Aorta. Artery blood
flow results from systole. Systole can call heartbeat. The amount of gas in blood in the artery
has high oxygen (O2) except Pulmonary artery. Pulmonary artery is the blood vessel that
brings blood out from the left artery to lungs or pulmonary. Another blood vessel is Vein.
Direction of this blood vessel brings blood into heart which are Inferior vena cava, Superior
vena cava and pulmonary vein. Inferior vena cava and Superior vena cava are blood vessels
that bring blood from the body into heart. Vein blood flow results from striated muscle
compressions. The amount of gas in vein has high carbon dioxide (CO2) except pulmonary
vein. Pulmonary vein takes blood from lungs into heart. In short, mostly arteries take high
oxygen blood out of heart and feed the body but veins take high carbon dioxide blood into
heart to exchange into high O2 gas. However, both of them are necessary to our body.
