Arteries, veins and capillaries are the three major types of blood vessels. Capillaries are very small and only one cell thick to allow O2/CO2 exchange. Nutrients and wastes are also exchanged. Large arteries have smooth muscle in their walls. Veins have much less muscle and capillaries have none. The job of the arteries and veins is to get the blood to and from the capillaries.

Arteries - transport blood away from the heart.

Capillaries - tiny vessels that allow blood to reach every living cell in the body.

Veins - transport blood toward the heart.

How can you explain the fact that we see a great range of colors even though only three cone tpyes exist?

This is because multiple cones may be activated at the same time allowing us to see many colors. The three cones may not always be activated to capacity, and the blending of the activations allows us to see variations of color, just as you could mix different amounts of paint colors (red green and blue) to create many colors.
