138 media and tunica interna. 1.C., tunica cxtena, tunica There are threc types of blood vessels vessels that transport (a) Arteries These are elastic arteries only pure various organs. Through the flows. blood blood away frornbu pulmonary arteries impure blood transport blood f\ows, (b) Veins These are elastic vessels that to the heart frorn impure blood of the body. Veins carry only veins carry only pure (oxygenated) blood. (deoxygenated (c) Capillaries These are small vessels thatoftransport veins and are located within the tissues the body. blThrough ood from the dioxide the thin takes arlerwaiell4sch capillaries,exchange of wastes, nutrients, carbon and oxygen Blood Pressure Blood pressure is produced by the blood (present in blood vessels) blood vessels by the contraction of left ventricle millimeters of mercury, similar to barometric pressure with the against the Blood pressure is rwaecordlsEdt tg called sphygmomanometer. The blood pressure is high in the help oi an the arterioles and capillaries, and become very low in the veins. pressure is expressed as 120/80 mmHg. arteries,Thegraduallynstrurmet When the left ventricle contracts (pushing the blood produced is known as systolic blood pressure (120 mm Hg).intoWhen the aorta), the occurs and the heart is resting the pressure within the pressure (80 mmHg). the vessels is caledcomplete pdiresausee Cardiac Output jiastoic o The amount of blood pumped by heart per output. It is the volume of blood ejected fromminute is the left called cardiac into the aorta (pulmonary trunk) per minute. ventricle output (or right or heat Cardiac output = Stroke Volume (SV) x Heart Rate (HR) =70 mL× 75 =5250 mL/min,. ventice, ie., about 5litres per minute, which is equivalent to the total body blood volume. Human Lymphatic System Human lymphatic system comprises of lymph, lymph capillaries lymphatic VveSk lymphatic nodes and lymphatic ducts. A. Lymph It is a colourless fluid and its el6 composition is same as that of tissue fluid, which in tun i same as that of blood plasma. It contains very small amount of contains abundant carbon dioxide and other metabolic wastes.nutrients and oxygentz Amoeboid shapei whà blood corpuscles are also present in lymph. Formation of Lymph Asthe blood passes through the capillaries of the arterial system into the tisue, u water along with many water soluble substances come out in the spaces betwntee of tissues. But a very small amount of proteins come out from the capillary withthee plasmalkw the larger proteins and most of the formed elements in the blood vessel. 1he
