Describe the three tunics common to most vessels and explain their general functions.
Tunica intima, tunica media, tunica externa; they provide structural support, regulate blood flow, and protect the vessel.
Tunica externa, tunica media, tunica interna; they are responsible for nutrient exchange, blood filtration, and waste removal.
Tunica intima, tunica media, tunica externa; they facilitate blood flow, provide elasticity, and offer protection.
Tunica interna, tunica media, tunica externa; they control blood pressure, regulate temperature, and transport hormones.

Explain the process of diffusion and vesicular transport between capillaries and tissues.
Diffusion involves the movement of large molecules through vesicles, while vesicular transport involves the passive movement of gases.
Diffusion involves the passive movement of small molecules and gases, while vesicular transport involves the active transport of larger molecules via vesicles.
Diffusion involves the active transport of ions, while vesicular transport involves the passive movement of nutrients.

Explain the lymphatic system’s role at the capillary bed.
The lymphatic system absorbs excess fluid and proteins from the interstitial space and returns them to the bloodstream.
The lymphatic system filters blood directly from the capillaries and removes waste products.
The lymphatic system provides oxygen to tissues and removes carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.
The lymphatic system regulates blood pressure by constricting and dilating capillaries.
