17
Q

What do the Arteries do?

A

Move blood from the heart to the body.

A very small, almost microscopic artery that delivers blood to capillaries.

19
Q

What are capillaries?

A

A microscopic vessel that connect arteriole to venule

20
Q

What do Venules do?

A

Receive blood from the capillaries

21
Q

What do the Veins do?

Clotting properties of blood help protect against excessive blood loss during injury.
White blood cells protect against disease in the body

35
Q

What is the clinical connection of massage and the Cardiovascular System?

A
  1. Increases the fluidity of connective tissue.
  2. The oxygen-carrying capacity of blood is increased for a limited time after general massage.
  3. Can increase local circulation (blushing).
  4. Circulatory massage (Swedish) helps move fluids towards the heart.
