Explain why the blood vessels forms a close network and how it does blood flows throughout the closed network of blood vessels in human.
Evaluate responses using AI:
OFF
Answer explanation
The blood vessels are divided into 3 main groups. Arteries, veins and capillaries. The different blood vessels are linked by smaller blood vessels for example; arteries are divided into smaller blood vessels called arterioles which divides further to form capillaries. Moreover, capillaries are joined together to form a larger blood vessel called venules which regroups to form veins this forms a closed circuit or network as blood is not allowed to escape from the walls of the blood vessels nor to a sink.. The blood travels through this closed network from the main artery Aorta from the heart to the rest of the body and comes back to the heart which describes the systemic circulation. On the other hand, blood flows from the heart to the lungs by the pulmonary artery and back to the heart by the pulmonary vein which forms the pulmonary circulation. These two types of circulation forms the double circulation of the human circulatory system.
