Neurovascular bundle fluid and blood, they tend to have large surface area and short diffusion path. Normally, capillaries consist of a central lumen lined with an endothelium, a single layer of smooth epithelial cells. In contrast, deep neurovascular bundles, with arteries in them, have a more complicated composition. Arteries are the vessels that transfer the blood pumped by the heart to the entire body. Arteries have high intraluminal blood pressure, relative to capillaries and veins. To compensate arteries have a smooth muscle and a connective tissue structure outside the endothelium. This composition allows arteries to contract/relax, be flexible under pressure, and transfer
Bronchial veins Bronchial veins The bronchial veins are small vessels that return blood from the larger bronchi and structures at the roots of the lungs. The right side drains into the azygos vein, while the left side drains into the left superior intercostal vein or the accessory hemiazygos vein. Bronchial veins are thereby part of the bronchial circulation, carrying waste products away from the cells that constitute the lungs. The bronchial veins are counterparts to the bronchial arteries. However, they only carry ~13% of the blood flow of the bronchial arteries. The remaining blood is returned to the heart via the pulmonary
