In this video, we're going to introduce our map of the lesson on blood vessels, which is down below right here. Now because this is a map of the lesson, you can actually use it as a map or a table of contents to help guide you through our lessons on blood vessels. And so you can use this to help determine where you are within the lesson and to make predictions about what we're going to cover next. And so the way that we're going to approach this map is from top to bottom, but also from left to right. And so notice at the very top, we have the title blood vessels. And already in our previous lesson videos, we've covered our introduction to blood vessels. And so in our next lesson video, you can expect that we are going to cover the types of blood vessels, which includes arteries, capillaries, and veins.
Once we introduce the types of blood vessels, then we'll talk about each of these in a little bit more detail, starting with the arteries. And we'll talk about the 3 different types of arteries, including elastic arteries, muscular arteries, and arterioles. Once we cover these 3 types of arteries, then we'll talk more about the capillaries, and the types of capillaries, including continuous capillaries, fenestrated capillaries, and sinusoid capillaries. And we'll also talk about capillary beds. Once we cover the capillaries in detail, then we'll talk more about veins and venules.
Once we cover all of these types of blood vessels, then we'll move on to talk about anastomoses, which are the merging points of blood vessels. And we'll talk about the different types of anastomoses, including arterial anastomoses, venous anastomoses, and arteriovenous anastomoses. And so this here concludes our brief introduction to our map of the lesson on blood vessels, and I'll see you on our next lesson video where we'll talk about the types of blood vessels.
