I'm not going to fully write out <span>3-4 paragraphs but I will give you some information to start out with :) I greatly enjoy doing research and writing about the things I have learned. 

Arteries:
Arteries are </span>any of the muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood (mainly that which has been oxygenated) is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body. <span> Each artery is a muscular tube lined by smooth tissue and has three layers. These are the three layers and their purpose. 
*The i</span>ntima-T<span>he inner layer lined by a smooth tissue called endothelium
</span>*The media- A<span> layer of muscle that lets arteries handle the high pressures from the heart
*</span>The adventitia-Connective tissue anchoring arteries to nearby tissues


Veins<span> are </span>blood vessels<span> that carry </span>blood<span> toward the </span>heart<span>. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the </span>pulmonary<span> and </span>umbilical veins<span>, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. In contrast to veins, </span>arteries<span> carry blood away from the heart.
</span>Veins are classified in a number of ways, including superficial vs. deep, pulmonary vs. systemic, and large vs. small.
<span>
*Superficial veins are those closer to the surface of the body, and have no corresponding arteries.
</span><span>*Deep veins are deeper in the body and have corresponding arteries.
</span><span>*Perforator veins drain from the superficial to the deep veins. These are usually referred to in the lower limbs and feet.
</span><span>*Communicating veins are veins that directly connect superficial veins to deep veins.
*P</span>ulmonary veins<span> are a set of veins that deliver oxygenated blood from the </span>lungs<span> to the heart.
*</span><span>Systemic veins drain the tissues of the body and deliver deoxygenated blood to the heart.

I hoped this helped and gave you some useful information. Good luck, I hope you do well on your assignment :) ~Sadie

Adolescents require fewer hours of physical activity than adults.<br> a. True<br> b. False
katrin [286]
False. Adolescents need the same amount of physical activity that adults do. The only thing that varies is the beneficial effects that exercise brings and the overall physical effect it has to the body. Adolescents still have a fast metabolism which enables them to maintain their shape despite the amount of caloric intakes they've had while adults don't. Exercise duration should at least last for 30 minutes to induce physical fitness in the body and this works for young adults and mature adults alike.
