Arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels, and nerves tend to travel together.

Spotting one member of a group will help you find the others.

Most bleeds into tissue come from injured capillaries and small veins.

This is a bleed into tissue, near a vascular group.

With your study partners, find:

• red cells inside vessels


• red cells outside vessels


• the thick-walled blood vessels (arteries)


• the thin-walled blood vessel (vein)


• the vessel without red blood cells (lymphatic vessel)

Hotshots:

Why is this lymphatic vessel so full of protein-rich fluid?
