Arteries
Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart (see
Figure 3-3). Blood is pumped from the ventricles into large, elastic arteries. The largest artery is the aorta, about 2.5 centimeters in diameter. It has thick walls because it receives blood under the highest pressure, directly from the left ventricle. The large, elastic arteries branch into smaller arteries. As the arteries grow smaller, they become less elastic and begin to have more smooth (involuntary) muscle tissue. The smallest arteries are called
brane, called the tunica intima, is a layer of endothelium that forms a smooth surface. This smooth surface enables blood to  ow easily through
arterioles.
Arteries are composed of three layers, or tunics. The innermost mem-

tunica adventitia is the outermost layer, and it is composed of support-
ing connective tissue. See Figure 3-4.

Capillaries
Arterioles transport blood from the small arteries to capillaries. There are about 10 billion capillaries in the body. Capillaries are microscopic in size. They are 0.5 to 1 millimeter long, and they branch without a change in their diameter. They have the thinnest walls of all the vessels: a one-cell layer (refer to Figure 3-4). Capillary walls are transparent and consist of endothe­lium surrounded by a layer of loose connective tissue. Because of the thin­ness of the walls, direct exchanges between the blood and body cells are made. Red blood cells  ow in single  le through the capillaries. As the blood  ows through the capillaries, it gives up oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. In exchange, it picks up carbon dioxide and other by-products. Blood pres­sure forces  uid out of the capillaries, and osmosis moves  uid into the capil­laries. Blood  ow through the capillaries is cyclic, due to the contraction and relaxation of the precapillary sphincters. Precapillary sphincters are smooth muscle cells located at the points where capillaries branch. The contraction and relaxation of the sphincters is regulated by the metabolic needs of the tissues. Blood  ow is increased when oxygen levels decrease. Blood  ow is also increased when levels of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids decrease. An increase in carbon dioxide or a decrease in pH (increase in acid level of blood) causes the precapillary sphincters to relax. Please refer to Figure 3-3.
Veins
Blood  ows from capillaries into venules (see Figure 3-3). Venules are the smallest veins, and their walls are only slightly thicker than those of capillaries. Their diameter is also slightly larger. Venules are composed of endothelium surrounded by a connective-tissue membrane. As the venules connect with small veins, the vessel walls become thicker. Even small veins are larger in diameter than venules. Medium-size veins collect blood from small veins and transport it to large veins. Although their walls become thicker as veins increase in size, veins have much thin­ner walls than arteries. In addition, the blood they carry is under much lower pressure. Like arteries, veins are composed of three layers, but the veins’ middle tunic is thinner.
Veins having diameters greater than 2 millimeters have valves. Valves
allow blood to  ow toward the heart but not in the opposite direction, and they become more numerous with the increase in the size of the vein. There are more valves in veins of the legs than in veins of the arms. These valves prevent the pull of gravity from drawing the  ow of blood down toward the feet.
Phlebotomists come in contact most frequently with the arteries and
veins in the upper limbs. Therefore, this discussion of systemic circulation

will focus on the upper limbs. The arteries of the upper limbs consist of the following:
located just below the clavicle.
Subclavian artery, Brachial artery,
located in the arm; a continuation of the axillary
artery.
located in the arm; it branches from the brachial to
Ulnar artery,
the medial, or little  nger, side.
Radial artery
located in the arm; it also branches from the bra-
,
chial artery, but on the thumb side.
See Figure 3-5 for an overview of the major arteries of the systemic
circulation.
The radial artery is the artery used most often in obtaining an arterial
blood sample for blood gases (a test ordered to assess lung function by measuring oxygen and other gases of respiration).
The veins of the upper limbs can be divided into two groups:
brachial veins
The deep veins that run parallel to the arteries. The are the most noteworthy for our purposes. They accompany the brachial artery and empty into the axillary vein.
The super cial veins that drain the blood in the arm into the deep
veins, including the cephalic vein, which empties into the subcla­vian vein, and the basilic vein, which empties into the axillary vein.
See Figure 3-6 for an overview of the major veins of the body. The phlebotomist will be able to see many of the tributaries of the two
major super cial veins through the skin on the patient’s forearm and hand. The median cubital usually connects the cephalic vein with the basilic vein. The median cubital is usually quite prominent in the cubital fossa, the anterior surface of the upper arm at the elbow, and is an ideal site for performing a venipuncture. Please refer to  gure 3-7.

BLOOD
Blood is classi ed as a connective tissue. It is made up of cells and cell fragments moving freely in a liquid substance called plasma. Normally the total circulating blood volume is about 8 percent of body weight. About 55 percent of this volume is plasma.
Plasma is a pale yellow 
cent dissolved substances such as proteins, ions, nutrients, gases, waste products, and regulatory substances. Of the cells and cell fragments, or formed elements, in the blood, about 95 percent are red blood cells, or

nodes, and red bone marrow. In children, red blood cells are produced in the marrow cavities of all the bones, and some white cells are produced in lymphatic tissue. In adults, red blood cells, many white blood cells, and platelets are formed in the bone marrow. By the time an individual reaches age 20, the marrow in the cavities of the long bones, except for the upper humerus and femur, has become inactive. Active marrow is called red marrow, and inactive marrow is called yellow marrow. Yellow marrow is mixed with fat. Bone marrow is one of the largest organs in the body, and is comparable in weight and size to the liver.

Erythrocytes
Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are manufactured in the bone marrow. They are shaped like concave disks, thinner at the center than at the edges. Erythrocytes live in circulation for about 120 days in men and 110 days in women. The average normal red blood cell count is 5.4 million per cubic microliter of blood in men and 4.8 million per cubic microliter in women. There are approximately 25 trillion red blood cells in a 135-pound man. Approximately 2.5 million red blood cells are produced every second, or 200 million every day. The primary functions of erythrocytes are to carry oxy­gen from the lungs to various tissues of the body and to assist in the transport of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. Please refer to Figure 3-9.
Oxygen is transported by
hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a pigmented
protein that gives blood its red color, and it is responsible for 97 percent of the oxygen transported in blood. Each red blood cell contains approxi­mately 270 million hemoglobin molecules. Iron is necessary for oxygen transport, and approximately two-thirds of the body’s iron is found in hemoglobin. About one-third of a red blood cell’s volume is hemoglobin.
Leukocytes
Leukocytes, or white blood cells, are another formed element in blood. They are called white blood cells because they are white in color, as they lack hemoglobin. Leukocytes are spherical in shape and are larger than erythrocytes. They have nuclei of varying shapes and sizes. White blood cells normally number 4,000 to 11,000 per microliter of blood. Leuko­cytes can leave the blood and travel in an amoeba-like fashion through the tissues. They function to protect the body against invading microorgan­isms, and they remove dead cells and debris from the tissues. Whenever
pathogens (disease-producing agents) enter the tissues, white blood cells
called neutrophils and monocytes proceed by amoeboid movement to the area of infection. Once there, they engulf the pathogens by phagocyto­sis. Phagocytosis is a process of ingestion and digestion by cells of sub­stances such as bacteria, foreign particles, other cells, and cell debris. If the pathogens are very strong, however, they may destroy the leukocytes. A collection of leukocytes and bacteria forms pus.
There are different types of leukocytes. They are de
ned by their size, the shape of their nucleus, and the appearance of granules in the cyto­plasm.
Granulocytes are the most numerous of the white blood cells,
and they have a horseshoe-shaped nucleus. Granulocytes are divided into neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. The granulocytes have granules
