Vessels and nerves
Arteries: The arteries supplying the stomach are the left gastric, the right gastric and right gastroepiploic branches of the hepatic, and the left gastroepiploic and short gastric branches of the lienal.

vessels: the main conducting vessels of the xylem found in the angiosperms.
virus: fragments of nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat; may attack cells and replicate within the cells, destroying them.

Lymph vessels are closely associated with the circulatory system vessels. Larger lymph vessels are similar to veins. Lymph capillaries are scatted throughout the body. Contraction of skeletal muscle causes movement of the lymph fluid through valves.

blood vessels (veins) carrying blood from the posterior part of the body to the kidneys. Oxygenated blood is carried to the kidneys by the renal arteries

Xylem vessels arise from individual cylindrical cells oriented end to end. At maturity the end walls of these cells dissolve away and the cytoplasmic contents die. The result is the xylem vessel, a continuous nonliving duct.

Vessels which carry blood back to the heart from the tissues. Veins are thin walled and will collapse if empty. They have a series of one-way valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards.

The rescue vessels batteries were in poor condition - draining quickly and difficult to re-charge. The AS-32 proved virtually useless.

veins Blood vessels conducting blood toward the heart in any animal. Also more heavily sclerotized portions of wings of insects, which are remains of lacunae.
velarium Shelf-like extension of the subumbrella edge in cubozoans (phylum Cnidaria).

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome connective tissue condition including problems with tendons, ligaments, skin, bones, cartilage, and membranes surrounding blood vessels and nerves. Symptoms include joint laxity, elastic skin, dislocations.

All living tissues are amply supplied with capillary vessels, which bring nutrients and oxygen to every cell. As tumors enlarge, the cells in the center no longer receive nutrients from the normal blood vessels.

Unlike normal red cells, which are usually smooth and donut-shaped, sickled red cells cannot squeeze through small blood vessels. Instead, they stack up and cause blockages that deprive organs and tissues of oxygen-carrying blood.

Countercurrent exchange mechanism. Mechanism by which two vessels are set side by side, with fluid flowing in opposite directions, allowing efficient uptake and retention of heat, oxygen, or gas, depending upon the type of exchanger ...

Masses of splanchnic mesoderm that form the first red blood cells and blood vessels. Found in the gut wall of amphibians and the yolk sac of amniotes.

Recent studies indicate that endothelial dysfunction of peripheral and coronary resistance and conductance vessels represents a strong and independent risk factor for future cardiovascular events.

In lower vertebrates, blood vessels formed here become part of the gills; in higher vertebrates derivatives include portions of the jaw and middle ear. Also known as branchial arches, gill arches, or visceral arches.

Saturated fats and cholesterol in the diet can lead to deposits of fatty materials on the linings of the blood vessels.
