Our bodies have three types of blood vessels because each does a different task. Blood is supplied from the heart to the rest of the body under relative high pressure in large vessels called arteries. It then goes through very tiny vessels called capillaries where it exchanges nourishment, oxygen and other products with the cells and takes waste products, carbon dioxide and other products from the cells. Finally, after leaving the capillaries it enter somewhat larger vessels (though smaller than arteries and at lower pressures) called veins that carry the blood back to the heart and lungs for recycling.

Why does the body have 3 kinds of blood vessels?
The blood vessels help move blood to different places in the body. They are capillaries, arteries, and veins.
What are the 3 blood vestles called?
The three types of blood vessels in the body are veins, arteries, and capillaries. Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart. Capillaries are microscopic vessels that are found in the lungs and muscles.

What are the 3 blood tubes?
Arteries, veins, and capillaries are the three types of blood tubes. Collectively they are known as the blood vessels.
What do all blood vessels do?
Answer:The Role of Blood Vessels when Blood Circulates is Simple; they are the part of the Circulatory System that transports blood throughout the body. Explanation:There are 3 types of Blood Vessels: Arteries: Carry the blood AWAY from the heart.Capillaries: Allow for the Exchange of Chemicals & Water, like Oxygen in the lungs with Blood, and also between the Blood and Body's Tissues.Veins: Carry blood TOWARD the heart.Blood Vessels (Arteries and Veins) can change their diameter by muscular Contraction & Dilation, thereby changing the pressure which in turn changes the blood flow to organs which are 'downstream.' The Dilation and Constriction of Blood Vessels is regulated/determined by the Autonomic Nervous System (an example of this is when you Stand - the Blood Vessels in your legs Constrict, increasing the pressure in those Blood Vessels, to keep the average blood flow/pressure consistent). Another Function of Blood Vessels' ability to Constrict and Dilate is also a means for the body to regulate its temperature.
What are the major part and function of the circulatory system?
There are 3 parts the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels. HEART: the function of the heart is to pump the blood and so the blood could keep moving through out your whole body. THE BLOOD: the blood you have in your body carries nutrients, water, oxygen and waste products to form your body cells. THE BLOOD VESSELS: there are three types of blood vessels Arteries, Capillaries and the Veins Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen rich blood AWAY from the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels as thin or thinner than the hairs on your head. Capillaries connect arteries to veins. Food substances (nutrients), oxygen and wastes pass in and out of your blood through the capillary walls. Veins carry blood back toward your heart.
