Arteries supply the body with oxygenated blood pumped by the heart.
Th aorta is the biggest artery and can be divided into the ascending,
descending and the aortic arc.These sub divide into various branches
thus, supplying oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.
Veins, no the other hand, work in an opposing style to arteries Veins
return deoxygenated blood to the lungs where gaseous exchange takes place
and later, blood is pumped into the heart to start the circulation process entirely.
