Function of the three different blood vessels and what type of blood they carry.
(specific answers)
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, with low O2 and high CO2
Veins conduct blood toward the heart. High O2, low CO2
Capillaries are microspic channels that channel that channels blood into tissues, High O2
Differences between Diastolic and Systolic pressure
(also want which is on top and what's on the bottom)
Systolic Pressure (Top)- peak blood pressure in arteries when the heart is beating. Less than120
Distal Pressure (Bottom)- Measures pressure in arteries while the heart is resting. Less than 80
