The veins are all around your body. They bring blood back to your heart.

2. What can the size of your heart be compared to?A. ThumbB. HeadC. FistD. Foot
Top 5:1. Arteries help blood travel away from the

to travel to the different body parts3. Arteries bring the blood to the lungs
where it picks up a fresh supply of oxygen4. An artery is a blood vessel that carries
blood5. The walls of arteries are elastic
Question:1. Arteries help blood...A. Travel to the veins
B. Leave the bodyC. Travel away from the
heartD. Travel to the heart
Arteries!!
Capillaries
1. Capillaries are small roads for blood2.Capillaries carry blood from the arteries to the veins3. Capillaries are your narrowest blood vessel4.Capillaries tend to be bunched together5. Capillaries and veins connect
Top 5: Questions:Capillaries are...
A. FatB. Small roads for blood
C. Connecters to the heartD. Friendly blood cells
Veins!!1.Veins carry blood from capillaries to your heart2.Veins are thicker than capillaries, but thinner than arteries3.Veins are roads for blood4. Vein hold 70% of your blood 5. Veins are probably your most important blood vessel
Top 5:
Short Answer:What percentage of your blood is currently in
