Blood vessels are integral components of the circulatory system that transport blood throughout the body, ensuring the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues and the removal of waste products. They are classified into three main types: arteries, veins, and capillaries, each serving distinct functions in maintaining circulatory efficiency and homeostasis.

Sweat glands are specialized exocrine glands in the skin responsible for thermoregulation and waste excretion through the production of sweat.
