Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries
Arteries: Blood vessels through which blood flows, leaving the heart and distributing throughout the body. They are highly elastic and have three layers: tunica externa (connective tissue), internal layer (fine epithelial cells), and tunica media (smooth muscle fibers and elastic fibers).
Veins: Blood vessels where blood circulates from the capillaries towards the heart. Semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood.
