in the hand. Now the blood vessels can be seen more
prominently.
3. Find undivided blood vessel, where we have to work for

steady pressure, so as to close its cavity.
5. Now apply pressure from elbow towards the palm slowly
and observe the changes in the blood vessels. (Take the

The deep seated blood vessels (the arteries) bulge on the side
towards the heart when tied. What do you understand from it?
There are valves in the heart between atria and ventricles. Is the
purpose of valves in the veins and heart same?

Arteries and veins
There are two types of blood vessels called arteries and veins. Arteries
carry blood from the heart to body parts. Whereas, veins carry blood from
body organs to heart. Let us observe the structural and functional
differences between arteries and veins.

Blood capillaries
Blood capillaries are the microscopic vessels made of single layer of
cells. They allow diffusion of various substances. The leucocytes (WBC)
can squeeze out of the capillary wall. They establish continuity between
