    In the cardiovascular system, focus is often placed on the heart that creates pressure and pumps the blood.\u00a0 The vessels are also critical; these tubes carry blood throughout the body, even feeding the heart itself.<\/p>\n

    We will start with an overview of vessels, examine different types of blood vessels, and then learn about measuring pressure in arteries.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
