There are four main types of blood vessels in the human body. There are arteries which are elastic vessels that transport blood away from the heart. Then there are veins which are elastic vessels that transport blood to the heart. Next, there are capillaries which are extremely small vessels found within the body tissues that transport blood from the arteries to the veins.
