Episode 38: The Blood Vessels in the Lower Limb

Today, you might contract the muscles of your legs literally hundreds of time. Think about the things you might do every day...climbing the stairs, walking to catch a bus or a train, and perhaps standing for extended periods of time at your job, etc. Within seconds, when you start to use those muscles, the body responds, first the heart beats more and it pumps blood through all kinds of branches so that hungry muscles can get what we need. Join me in this episode, and you will learn what these blood vessels are called and how to keep ‘em straight as they take blood to the lower extremity.
