There are two types of blood vessels in the circulatory system of the body: arteries that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to various parts of the body and veins that carry blood towards the heart for purification.hey are tiny branches of arteries that lead to capillaries and help maintain the pressure and blood flow in the body. Venous valves prevent blood from flowing in the opposite direction. Connective tissues make up the outermost layer of a vein which is also known as-tunica adventitia or tunica externa.
There are two types of blood vessels: arteries and veins. Arteries carry blood under high pressure out to all areas of the body after being pumped by the heart. Veins carry blood that should be under low pressure, on its way back to the heart. An artery does not usually connect directly to a vein.Usually there are very small blood vessels called capillaries that connect an artery to a vein.. Source(s): http://www.hht.org/web/what_is_hht/overv...ere the blood in the capillaries gives oxygen to the cells and picks up the waste gas, carbon dioxide, from the cells. The capillaries are connected to the smallest veins in the body. The veins get bigger and bigger as they carry the blood back towards the heart.
