There are 3 kinds of blood vessels
Arteries- Carry oxygenated blood from heart to different parts of the body. They are deep seated and have thin walls. One exception is the Pulmonary artery, which brings deoxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
Veins- Carry deoxygenated blood from different parts of the body to the heart for oxygenation. They are superficial ( near the surface of the skin) and are thick- walled. Exception- Pulmonary Vein which takes oxygenated blood to the lungs from the heart.
Capillaries- Thin blood vessels which are responsible for taking blood to every cell of the body. They have very thin walls, through which oxygen is given to the cell and carbon dioxide is absorbed.
They are found in in the junction of arteries and veins.
Oxygenated blood is the blood which carries oxygen.
Deoxygenated blood is devoid of Oxygen and contains Carbon dioxide.

Your'e in luck! I had to do that for an assignment last term (I'm in grade 9) Lets see, Blood vessels transport oxygenated blood around the body to enable it to function. Without it, we can not function and would die. Or something like that

blood vessels are the transport system of the blood.There are :arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart.exception pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs.Arterioles,venules and capillaries are the smaller vessels.The capillaries work at the cellular level where the process of osmosis and diffusion take place.Pathway of the blood- heart to arteries to arterioles to capillaries to body cells to venules to veins and back to the heart.hope this helps

Blood vessels, then, are hollow utensils for carrying blood. Located throughout your body, your blood vessels are hollow tubes that circulate your blood.
There are three varieties of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries.
