vasculature

Vasculature refers to the network of blood vessels in the body, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. These vessels transport blood, carrying oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products between the heart and tissues. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, veins return deoxygenated blood back to the heart, and capillaries are tiny vessels where exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste occurs. This system is essential for maintaining tissue health, regulating temperature, and supporting overall body function. Proper vasculature is vital for delivering oxygen and nutrients efficiently and removing metabolic waste.
