Trace a water molecule absorbed from the large intestine to the right posterior intercostal muscle (blood vessel pathway)
Expert Solution
Step 1

Blood vessels are one of the three key components (The other 2 being the heart and the blood) are the vital components of the cardiovascular system in humans that aid in the transport of the blood along with the nutrients, secondary molecules, hormones, respiratory gases, cellular wastes, and toxins, etc. Blood vessels are essential in the distribution of oxygenated blood towards the various regions of the body, a purpose which is served by a type of blood vessel called the artery. On the other hand, the distribution of deoxygenated blood towards the heart from the various regions across the body is served by a type of blood vessel called the veins. The network of these blood vessels can be seen spread across the cardiovascular system of the body which ensures constant blood supply to/from the various regions of the body.
