Arterial system. Illustration of the arterial system in the human body,shown in a standing figure. The heart and kidneys are also shown. Note the feathery network of blood vessels in the left and right lungs (next to the heart). Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to the body's tissues. Veins (not shown) carry blood back to the heart. The average adult has about 5 litres of blood. At rest this volume of blood passes through the heart each minute | |
