    The vessels of the blood circulatory system are:
    • arteries -- blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the body
    • veins -- blood vessels that carry blood from the body back into the heart
    • capillaries -- tiny blood vessels between arteries and veins that distribute oxygen-rich blood to the body
