Abstract

Blood vessels are essential components of the circulatory system and are structurally and functionally specialized to ensure efficient blood circulation throughout the body. Arteries, veins, and capillaries differ significantly in their wall structure, diameter, pressure tolerance, and physiological roles. These differences enable precise regulation of blood flow, blood pressure, and exchange of substances between blood and tissues. This article examines the structural and functional differences between arteries, veins, and capillaries and highlights how these adaptations support their distinct roles in circulatory physiology. Understanding these differences is fundamental for comprehending normal cardiovascular function and the mechanisms underlying vascular disorders.
