Difference between Artery and Peripheral vascular system

Artery vs. Peripheral vascular system

An artery (plural arteries) is a blood vessel that takes blood away from the heart to all parts of the body (tissues, lungs, etc). The peripheral vascular system consists of the veins and arteries not in the chest or abdomen (i.e. in the arms, hands, legs and feet).

Similarities between Artery and Peripheral vascular system

Artery and Peripheral vascular system have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atherosclerosis, Blood, Capillary, Circulatory system, Heart, Vein.

Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque.

Blood

Blood is a body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

Capillary

A capillary is a small blood vessel from 5 to 10 micrometres (µm) in diameter, and having a wall one endothelial cell thick.

Circulatory system

The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.
