Exploring Blood Vessels

The video compares the network of pipes in a building to the human body's blood vessels. It explains the roles of arteries, capillaries, and veins in circulating blood. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart, capillaries facilitate the exchange of nutrients and gases, and veins return oxygen-depleted blood to the heart. The video highlights the structure and function of these vessels, emphasizing the importance of smooth arterial walls and one-way valves in veins.
