Arteries are typically colored red in drawings of the circulatory system to represent oxygenated blood, which is carried away from the heart to the body's tissues. This color coding helps distinguish arteries from veins, which are usually depicted in blue and carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The red color signifies the vital role of arteries in delivering oxygen and nutrients essential for cellular function. This visual convention simplifies the understanding of blood flow within the circulatory system.

What are veins and arteries?
Veins - veins run throughout the body, their main job is to deliver deoxygenated blood to the heart so it can get oxygenated and continue circulation. (They are usually are shown as color blue on the models of the circulatory system) Arteries - arteries are body's largest blood vessels. They main job/function is to take the oxygenated blood from the heart and deliver it to the rest of the body.(arteries branch out to capillaries and other smaller blood vessels).(they are usually shown as color red on models of the circulatory system)

Carries blood to the heart?
Veins carry blood to the heart from the body, and arteries carry blood from the heart. Usually, the blood in veins is deoxygenated (ie. has very little oxygen left), and arteries have oxygenated blood. However, in the pulmonary ("lungs") circulatory system, it is the opposite (ie. veins ALWAYS carry blood TO the heart, whether oxygenated or not, and vice versa).

What are the key differences between peripheral vascular disease and peripheral artery disease, and how do they impact the circulatory system?
Peripheral vascular disease refers to any condition that affects the blood vessels outside of the heart and brain, including both arteries and veins. Peripheral artery disease specifically refers to a narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the limbs, usually due to a buildup of plaque. Both conditions can impact the circulatory system by reducing blood flow to the extremities, leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, and poor wound healing.
