The smoothness of endothelium is a very important factor that prevents thrombus formation. The endothelial cells:
1. increase cardiac output.
2. decrease heart rate.
3. inhibit platelet aggregation and control blood vessel diameter.
4. nourish the cells in the outer half of the blood vessel wall.
Capillary walls are different from the walls of veins and arteries as they are composed of:
1. endothelium only.
2. endothelium and smooth muscle.
3. a tunica interna and a tunica media.
4. smooth muscle and elastic connective tissue.

2. left and right pulmonary arteries.
3. pulmonary capillaries.
4. left atrium
Branch of aorta that supplies the oxygenated blood to the muscles of the heart is:
