Arteries

Among the arteries, also the extraorganic, carrying blood to the organ, and intraorganic branches within the organ and supplying it with separate parts (lobes, segments, lobules) are also isolated.

Structure of the cardiovascular system

The cardiovascular system performs the functions of blood transport, and, together with it, nutrient and activating substances to organs and tissues (oxygen, glucose, proteins, hormones, vitamins, etc.). From organs and tissues through the blood vessels (veins) are transferred the products of metabolism.
