I used Autodesk Sketchbook and Canva to create this histology art of the circulatory system tissues.
The first microscopic photo shows an artery and vein. Upon first glance, you would see that the artery has a thicker wall, thus a smaller lumen, than that of the vein. Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the body’s tissues and they need to withstand a lot of pressure. Veins on the other hand must have less peripheral resistance for blood to overcome the force of gravity and the reduced blood pressure.
The *microvasculature is composed of three types of the smallest blood vessels: arterioles, capillaries, and venules. These facilitate the movement of nutrients from the blood into the tissue.
The epicardium is the heart’s outermost layer of protection. The epicardium is made up of mesothelium cells, which cover and protect the majority of the body’s internal organs, as well as fat and connective tissue.
