Blood vessels include arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins, whose wall thickness, elasticity, lumen size and valves suit their roles in circulation. Questions compare pressure and blood flow in each vessel and distinguish pulmonary vessels, which carry blood to and from the lungs, from systemic vessels.
