into the femoral vein of a healthy female whose name is Liz. So if everyone is ready‚ please sit back and relax and enjoy our voyage as we explore the many structures of the human body. Attention everyone! We have just received an alert that there is a bacterium that is invading the lower lobe of the right lung. So as we make our journey to the infected area we will observe how Liz’s body is handling this infection. As we start our journey the lateral circumflex femoral vein follows the path of

units‚ arteries‚ veins and capillaries. Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Their structure is made up of a thick‚ stretchy muscular wall‚ they have a narrow central tube and they contain no valves. Arteries branch into smaller tubes called arterioles and then into capillaries. Their main function is to carry oxygenated blood. Veins carry blood towards the heart. Its structure is made up of thin walls with little muscle‚ they have a wide central tube and they also contain valves. Veins branch

half of the heart. In addition to wall and the cavity areas‚ the heart has blood vessels that are connected to the heart. They include: the two vena cavas‚ which are connected to the right atrium‚ the pulmonary arteries‚ which are connected to the right ventricle‚ the pulmonary veins‚ which are connected to the left atrium‚ and the aorta‚ which is connected to the left ventricle. The last part of the heart is the heart valves. Some of them come in pairs‚ and they are: the atrioventricular valves

widely with location and function of the vessel. Arteries‚ subjected to considerable pressure fluctuations‚ have thicker walls overall‚ with the tunica media being thicker than the tunica adventitia. Veins‚ in contrast‚ are subjected to much lower pressures and have thinner walls overall‚ with the tunica adventitia often outsizing the tunica media. Because thinwalled veins conduct blood back to the heart against gravity‚ valves (not present in arteries) also are present at intervals to
