[edit] I'm
I'm not sure why the "blue box" for the cardiovascular system was removed, but I think it does belong here, perhaps even warranting the removal of the section of the types of blood vessel. JFW | T@lk 08:20, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I ran across another set of terminologies i think relate somehow to Blood_vessel#Anatomy:
- tunica interna
- tunica media
- tunica externa
I suspect that these may be archaic terms to what is described in said section. Is that correct? cq 08:10, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- They are not archaic. Every medical student learns, and got the crap bored out of them, by this stuff in histology. ps take a look at wikipedia:WikiProject Preclinical Medicine, they may have good answers to questions like yours in future.

[edit] Length
There seems to be no mention whatsoever of the fact that there are 62,000 miles of blood vessels in the body, which would be more than sufficient to go 2 and 1/2 times around the word. Jordan Yang 18:20, 14 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Human blood vessels
Is this article only about human blood vessels? If so, we should state it and remove the reference to homeotherms under "Physiology", and if not, we should say what kinds of organisms' blood vessels we're talking about. What say? Figma 20:29, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
