vascular networks
Vascular networks refer to the complex systems of blood vessels in the body, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. These networks transport blood, which carries essential nutrients and oxygen to tissues and organs while removing waste products. Think of it as a city’s road system: arteries are like highways delivering supplies, while veins are the return routes. Capillaries act as small streets where the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste occurs. A well-functioning vascular network is crucial for overall health, as it ensures that all body parts receive what they need to function properly.
