Blood Vessels: Arteries, Veins & Capillaries - GCSE Biology

🦊 In this GCSE Biology video, we look at an overview of the circulatory system, focusing on the three main types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries. It explains the structure and function of each vessel type, highlighting how arteries carry blood at high pressure from the heart to organs, veins return blood at low pressure to the heart, and capillaries facilitate the exchange of substances between blood and tissues. The video also touches on features like the thick walls of arteries and the one-way valves in veins, emphasizing their roles in blood circulation.
