Solution

Blood Vessels:

  1. Blood vessels are channels that carry blood through the body.
  2. Blood vessels are mainly three types-
    1. An artery carries blood from the heart to different parts of the body.
    2. The vein carries blood from different parts of the body to the heart.
    3. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels that connect arteries and veins.

Healing of blood vessels:

  1. Due to various cardiovascular diseases, the endothelial lining of the blood vessels gets damaged.
  2. The body has the power to initiate some activities that help to regenerate and repair the damage.
  3. To a certain degree, veins or arteries can heal themselves. It can take many years to recover properly.
  4. Proper medication and diet can help blood vessels to heal themselves.
