Blood vessels

There are 3 types of blood vessels and each of them has different but similar functions although their main function is to carry blood around. The first one is called the Arteries, it's job is to carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and toward other tissues and organs. It also delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body.





Blood Vessels are the components of the circulatory system their function is to transport blood around the human body. The Vessels convey blood cells, nutrients, and oxygen to the tissues of the body. It is also their job to take away the waste and carbon dioxide from the tissues.


The second one is the Vein, They are responsible for returning deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The largest Vein in the human body is the vena cava, Veins have thinner walls 

The last one is called the capillary their job is to enable the exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues

Creative Writing - Similes and Metaphors

In English, we were given tasks to do, there are 6 tasks in total and we need to complete at least one task every lesson.

Similes and Metaphors are both analogies but they are not exactly the same when used. Similes always use the words 'like' and 'as' merely to say when one thing is similar to another while Metaphors don't when used in a sentence.

Examples:
I'm like a cat (Simile)
I am a cat (Metaphor)
