Facts About Circulation And The Heart

Capillaries carry some oxygen and are only one cell thick. They also help to break down the food.

Arteries carry oxygen to parts

of your body and veins carry it back.

Veins have thinner walls than arteries and there is the biggest vein in your body which is known as the Vena Cava.

Blood carried by arteries is

highly oxygenated and blood

carried by veins has no oxygen

and its job is to carry blood back

to the heart to be re-oxygenated.
