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
Mesenteric arteries Mesenteric arteries The mesenteric arteries take blood from the aorta and distribute it to a large portion of the gastrointestinal tract. Both the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries arise from the abdominal aorta. Each of these arteries travel through the mesentery, within which they branch several times before reaching the gut. In humans, many of these branches are named, but in smaller animals the branches are more variable. In some animals, including humans, branches of these arteries join with the marginal artery of the colon, which means that occlusion of one of the main arteries does not necessarily lead to
