Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The type of blood vessels that carries blood to the heart from tissues needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Blood is carried in different vessels and these are divided into three major types- arteries, veins and capillaries. These vessels have their own significance and functions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of the blood vessel that carries blood rich in the oxygen needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Blood vessels are of three different types and they are unique in their functions and structure. These three include the arteries, veins and capillaries.
(c)
Interpretation:
The type of the blood vessel that contains a thin cell from which water and small molecules can pass through needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Blood vessels have a definitive function to transport blood to the far corners of the body and they are of three different types which each have a specific function.
