Briefly identify and discuss the anatomical and structural differences between arteries and veins.

Briefly identify and discuss the anatomical and structural differences between arteries and veins.
Briefly identify and discuss differences between blood and lymphatic vessels.
View the anatomical models Figure 32.3,Figure 32.4,Figure 32.8,Figure 32.10,Figure 32.13,and Figure 35.1 (a)from your Laboratory Manual and identify the structures that are described by the following abbreviated statements. Post your brief responses in the threaded Discussion Area below.
Drains the stomach, pancreas, and spleen to the liver for detoxification
Two paired arteries serving the brain
Formed by the union of the radial and ulnar arteries
Drains head, neck, and upper extremities
What the external iliac artery becomes in the thigh
Join to form the inferior vena cava
Receives lymph from the circulation
Filtering clusters under the arm
Enlarged terminus of the thoracic duct
View the histology slides Figure 32.1 (a)and (b)in your Laboratory Manual and identify the microscopic structures indicated by a leader line, number, or bracket. In the threaded Discussion Area below, briefly describe the function of:
Figure 32.1 (a) artery and vein
