How does blood travel thorough your body?
Blood is pumped from the heart to the rest of the body by way of arteries which get smaller and smaller until they reach capillary beds. Then off the capillary bed small veins become larger and larger veins and finally lead to the heart. From there the blood is pumped to the lungs by arteries and back to the heart by veins where it all starts over again.
What blood vessels leading to the heart are called?
Veins
What blood vessel drains the fingers?
The blood from the fingers is primarily drained by the digital veins, which accompany the digital arteries. These veins converge into larger veins, such as the superficial palmar veins, which eventually drain into the radial and ulnar veins of the forearm. The radial and ulnar veins then converge to form the brachial vein, leading back to the heart.
How does the meaning of circles relate to the circulatory system?
In mammals the circulating system is seen as 2 circles. Blood is pumped from the heart to the rest of the body by way of arteries which get smaller and smaller until they reach capillary beds.

Do veins never carry oxygen-rich blood?
The term "vein" describes vessels leading to the heart. The Pulmonary Veins are the only veins that carry oxygen rich blood. They carry the blood from the lungs to the heart.
Blood has traveled from the heart to the toes. What describes the next step of the circulation process?
After blood travels from the heart to the toes, it returns to the heart through the venous system. Deoxygenated blood from the toes enters the small veins, which converge into larger veins, ultimately leading to the inferior vena cava. This major vein carries the blood back to the right atrium of the heart, where it will be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation.
Artery and vain 15 differences?
Arteries and veins both carry blood. Arteries are larger and carry blood away from the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart, and they are generally smaller than arteries.
What are the blood vessels leading away from the heart called?
Arteries. Because the capilaries connect the arteries to the vein as Veins carries blood back to the heart.
