Circulatory system. The human circulatory system (simplified). Red indicates oxygenated blood carried in arteries, blue indicates deoxygenated blood carried in veins. Capillaries, which join the arteries and veins, and the lymphatic vessels are not shown.
Arteries typically carry oxygenated blood, which is bright red in colour. The exception is the pulmonary artery which carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. Arteries divide into arterioles which are of a similar structure, however the walls are not as thick as in arteries as the pressure within the vessels has lessened by the time blood reaches them. The arterioles then divide further into capillaries.
