verisuonistön

Verisuonisto, also known as the circulatory system or vascular system, refers to the network of blood vessels in the body that transport blood. This vital system is composed of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body, while veins return deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels, forming a fine network that connects arteries and veins, allowing for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and the body's tissues. The heart acts as the central pump, propelling blood throughout this extensive network. The health of the verisuonisto is crucial for overall well-being, as it ensures that all cells and organs receive the necessary oxygen and nutrients for proper function and waste removal. Conditions affecting the verisuonisto, such as atherosclerosis or hypertension, can have significant health consequences.
