The has chambers : two that blood ,
two that blood out .
In circulation blood is pumped to the lungs by the right
into the arteries ( via the pulmonary ) before returning
to the atrium of the heart via pulmonary .
In systemic circulation blood is pumped into the by the ventricle to reach the rest of the body before eventually
returning to the of the heart via either the superior or
vena cava . The ventricle is the stronger of the
two ventricles and has a thicker wall of cardiac muscle to allow it to pump blood
effectively over a much greater distance .

carry blood away from the heart . Small arteries can be referred to
as . carry blood the heart . Small veins can be referred to as .
are vessels that connect the arteries and veins . and allow
for the of substances such as , and
within the body tissues .
Blood vessels typically have a tunica , a tunica
and a tunica . Capillaries may be described as , or .

The most important vessels in the body are named the .
The is the blood vessel in the body . It is subdivided into
the aorta , arch , descending ( or ) aorta and
the aorta . The ascending aorta gives off called the left and
right arteries , which supply the cardiac muscle . The aortic
gives off three branches : the trunk , the left common
artery and the left artery .
The and its branches the pulmonary arteries : one trunk
from the right which soon divides into two arteries carrying
blood to either lung . The veins are four vessels carrying
blood from the lungs to the left . The vena cava carry deoxygenated venous blood from the upper half of the body to the right atrium .
The vena cava carry deoxygenated venous blood from the lower
half of the body to the right atriu m

are important for collecting excess lost from beds during normal bodily processes like exchange . Other things like , blood cells , hormones and from broken - down cells / microbes will also drain into these lymphatic vessels . This combined fluid when it's inside a lymphatic vessel is known as , which is in appearance .

There are also lymphatic vessels in the intestine called that absorb dietary fats and are an important route for transporting fat from the gut . The , lymph collected via this route is known as . Ultimately both the clear and the will mix together in the and before draining into the .

6

Larger lymphatic vessels look quite like veins in terms of their physical structure e . g . , thinner walls than . Like veins , the fluid inside them is under much pressure than arteries , so they often rely on or the movements of nearby structures like to help maintain the flow of fluid through these vessels .

Most of the in the body will eventually return to the via
the . Lymph from the half of the body initially drains into
the cisterna chyli before draining into the . The thoracic duct plugs into
the venous circulation at the left - the junction between the left
internal vein and left vein , where these vessels form the left
vein .
However , lymph from the right upper limb , right side of the thorax and right side of the
head & neck will drain to right duct instead . The right lymphatic duct will then allow lymph to return to the venous circulation
at the venous angle , the junction between the right internal jugular and right
subclavian vein .

Lymph are small bean - shaped structures connected to vessels . They are
important for the body's ability to defend against infection as they act like filters in the lymphatic system to detect . Inside lymph nodes there are
clusters of such as and which help to
identify and destroy pathogens before they can reach the venous circulation . Lymph
nodes have a and .
Each lymph node has lymphatic vessels draining into it and
lymphatic vessels draining lymph away from the lymph node .
