  • Q5
    What role do capillaries play in systemic circulation?
    They are the main arteries carrying blood away from the heart
    They facilitate the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between blood and tissues

  • Q7
    What happens to oxygen levels in blood when it travels through systemic circulation?
