The smallest blood vessels are called capillaries. The next largest are veins. The largest are arteries. Arteries are deeper in the body than veins and capillaries, which are closer to the skin.

How do the arteries of someone with atheroscierosis differ from healthy arteries?
People who have atherosclerosis have lipid deposits or fat in their arteries. The fat makes carrying blood to the cells of the body difficult. You may have a heart attack or stroke depending on which artery is clogged.
What foods build up plaque in your arteries?
High Cholesterol foods, such as:
Eggs
Cheeseburgers
Macaroni and Cheese
Ice Cream
Red Meat
Sugary Baked Foods
Some types of seafood such as Lobster
Fried Chicken
Liver
Potato Chips
Does the heart have green veins?
Yes, those veins are the largest in our body, they are called the superior and inferior vena cava.
Where is the location of the left pulmonary vein?
The left pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the left lung to the left atrium of the heart. The pulmonary arteries and veins are the only ones which are "opposite" as the rest of the bodies veins and arteries. Veins normally carry unoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart/lungs. Arteries normally carry oxygenated blood to the body from the heart. Pulmonary arteries carry unoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart.

What makes the pulmonary veins and arteries more confusing than other veins and arteries?
We usually think of arteries as the vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the body, and we usually think of veins as the vessels that carry spent blood back to the heart/lungs. But the vessels around the heart can be a little different. It is an artery that carries spent blood from the heart to the lungs (where they get re-charged with oxygen), and then it is a vein that carries this oxygenated blood back to the heart to then be pumped out to the body.
To clear it up, realize that if a vessel is carrying blood out of the heart chambers, it is an artery. If the vessel is carrying blood back to the heart chambers, it is a vein. It is not oxygen content that defines a vessel as an artery or a vein.
The coronary arteries are vessels that are carrying oxygenated blood out of the heart chambers and into the heart muscle itself; they are not carrying blood into the chambers for pumping. So they also are indeed arteries and not veins.
What do you do about blood clot hanging from your hamsters bottom?

What is a purple vein on your balls?
A purple vein on the testicles can be a normal anatomical feature, as veins may appear more prominent due to factors like temperature changes, physical activity, or increased blood flow. However, if the discoloration is new, persistent, or accompanied by pain or swelling, it could indicate a condition such as a varicocele or other vascular issue that should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. It's important to monitor any changes and consult a doctor for personalized advice.
Veins are often formed from hot water solutions.?
Veins are mineral-filled fractures in rocks that typically form from hot water solutions, a process known as hydrothermal mineralization. As heated water, rich in dissolved minerals, moves through cracks and fissures in the Earth's crust, it cools and precipitates minerals, leading to the formation of vein deposits. These veins can contain valuable minerals such as gold, silver, and copper, making them significant for mining. The temperature and pressure conditions, along with the chemical composition of the solutions, influence the types of minerals that crystallize in these veins.
What is the name of the vein on the thumb side of the arm?
The cephalic vein drains the lateral side of the arm.
What are the complications resulting from a blowed vein?
Complications from a blown vein, or venipuncture injury, can include bruising, swelling, and pain at the site of the injury. In some cases, it may lead to a hematoma, where blood accumulates outside the blood vessel, causing further discomfort. Rarely, a blown vein can result in phlebitis, which is inflammation of the vein, or the formation of a blood clot. Prompt care and monitoring are essential to manage these complications effectively.
How can you tell you are in a vein when drawing with a butterfly needle?
You can tell you are in a vein when using a butterfly needle by observing a few key signs. First, you should feel a sudden give or a slight drop in resistance as the needle enters the vein. Additionally, you may notice blood flash back into the chamber of the needle or the tubing, indicating successful venous access. Finally, if the blood flows easily when you gently pull back on the plunger, it confirms that you are properly positioned within the vein.
