Arteries and Veins
Arteries and Veins
Arteries carry oxygen rich blood from heart to all parts of the body. Blood flows through the arteries have thick, elastic walls. The arteries branch out into smaller tubes known as capillaries when they enter the organs.
Veins carry the oxygen deficient and carbon dioxide rich blood back to the heart. Veins have thinner walls than arteries since blood flows at a lower pressure. Veins have valves that prevent backflow of blood flows at a lower pressure. Veins have valves that prevent backflow of blood, so blood flows in one direction, that is, towards the heart.
Capillaries are thin walled blood vessels and form a network of extremely tiny blood vessels between arteries and veins. The walls of the capillaries are so thin that diffusion of gases and chemical substances takes place very easily.

My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
