Vascular Biology の最近の進歩

Abstract: BY DR. PAUL DIMUZIO The vascular system involves the heart and blood vessels. The blood vessels include arteries, which are tubes that transport blood from your heart to the rest of your body, and veins, which return the blood to your heart. This complex system is involved in many diverse functions, but the most important is transporting vital oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and organs. ARTERIES are thicker and are prone to developing blockages or dilations. VEINS are thinner and have valves that keep the blood moving back toward the heart. The larger deep veins of the legs can develop clots. Blood vessels are composed of three layers.
