How the heart works
1. Types of Blood vessels
  1. Arteries - carry blood away from the heart, have thick walls, high blood pressure, strong and elastic
  2. Veins - carry blood back to the heart, thin walls, lower blood pressure
  3. Capillaries - branches of the arteries that are really thin, supply nutrients and oxygen, thin walls - substances move quickly and easily
  4. Coronary arteries - supply the heart cells with food and nutrients
