The circulatory system consists of blood vessels that transport blood. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood from heart to other parts of the body. Most arteries carry oxygenated blood to various tissues of the body. Thus, arteries supply oxygen to the body tissues. Pulmonary arteries are an exception; they carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
Veins are another kind of blood vessels. They transport blood towards the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from various body tissues to the heart. Pulmonary veins are an exception; they carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
The third type of blood vessels are capillaries. Capillaries have very thin walls. The thin walls of capillaries allow the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients and metabolic wastes between the blood and tissues.
