Why are blood vessels important?

Blood vessels are the part of the body that transport blood throughout our body. ---- Opinion only: Blood vessels: Are organic conduits (tubes) carrying blood to the heart and organs. More specifically, they are tubes through which the blood circulates in the body. Blood vessels include a network of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. The arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the cells, tissues and organs and then branch into arterioles that are smaller arteries that carry blood to the capillaries (minute vessels that permeate tissues). Blood is then carried to the venules (small veins) which join together to form veins, which return blood to the heart.
