The following: Transport of nutrients, body waste, and hormones through capillaries, veins and arteries Role of exercise in aiding the transport through the blood vessels. Â Introduction: Blood moves along the vessels from arteries to the capillaries and then into the veins. Veins and arteries are connected by the capillaries and interchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. The artery has thickest wall while capillaries have thinnest vessel wall. Â Â Explanation: Arteries transport oxygenated blood from the heart toward tissues and organs. Veins transport deoxygenated blood toward the heart from the tissues. Walls of veins are thicker than those of arteries. Capillaries exchange fluids between the blood and the tissues through the tissue walls. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels which transfer oxygen and nutrients from the bloodstream to the tissues in the body. During exercise, muscles need more blood. So, blood vessels expand the network of capillaries and muscle cells boost the levels of an enzyme, which allows using oxygen for generating energy. Â

We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.
