Lumen
The aorta is the blood vessel with the widest lumen. In contrast, capillaries are the blood vessels with the narrowest lumen.
Double-lumen PICC lines come in two colors. Red is the blood access lumen or arterial lumen and blue is the blood return lumen or venous lumen. Despite the names, neither lumen is leads to an artery, but both lead into a vein.

Lumen
The lumen is the inner open space or cavity of a tubular organ, such as a blood vessel or an intestine
Laminar flow.
Lumen refers to the inner space within a tubular structure such as a blood vessel or intestine, through which substances pass. It is not a measure of size like red blood cells but rather the open space within the structure. Red blood cells are typically around 6-8 micrometers in diameter, much larger than the lumen of small blood vessels.
Absorption
The lumen is the space within the blood vessel (or within any tubular structure).
In the lumen of various biological structures, such as blood vessels or the gastrointestinal tract, one might observe a range of substances, including blood cells, nutrients, or waste products. In the context of the intestines, for example, the lumen may contain digested food, bacteria, and mucus. In blood vessels, the lumen may show red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. The specific contents depend largely on the type of lumen being examined and its physiological state.
