no because the deoxygenated blood come through the artery which sends message to the pumonary cells which sends siganls for the heart to the oxygenated drugs

The arterioles muscular arteries and elastic arteries are in what position from heart to capillaries?
left ventricle --> elastic arteries (aorta and its larger branches)--> Muscular arteries --> arterioles --> capillaries
What are the three different types of vessels?
arteries thick walled and elastic blood vessels capillaries and veins
What vessels contain elastic fibers in the walls that are stretched during systole?
Capillaries
Plastic but not elastic?
This question does not make sense! In blood chemistry (biochem), erythrocytes' capsule is plastic but not elastic. Plastic = Able to change shape Elastic = Stretchable In this case, erythrocyte can be easily squeezed through narrow capillaries, by changing it's shape and they can maintain so until they went through the capillaries. They are NOT elastic, as they will rupture when they're stretched.
What are the elastic sac-like structures in the lungs that are lined up with the capillaries?
They are called Alveoli.
What are the different blood vessels?
arteries thick walled and elastic blood vessels capillaries and veins
What functions do capillaries and postcapillary venules share?
Small postcapillary venules consist entirely of endothelium just like capillaries (the larger venules have smooth muscle and thin externa as well). Also both capillaries and venules have no elastic tissues. Postcapillary venules are extremely porous which makes them more like capillaries then veins, and fluid and WBC's move easily into the bloodstream through these walls.
Where Elastic fibers are absent in case of blood vascular system?
The capillaries are the only blood vessels without elastic tissue. This is so that the vessel walls are as thin as possible to reduce the diffusion distance (for gases and waste products). Veins do contain a layer of elastic tissue is their walls, but this is a very thin layer (when compared to arteries).
Why are arteries organs but capillaries not?
organ is a structure made up of 2 or more no. of tissues(group of similar cells structurally and functionally)....artery is made up of endothelial cells, muscle fibres, elastic fibres etc placed in layers...hence is an organ. whereas capillaries only have endothelial cells.
What is the order that blood will encounter as it flows from the output side to the input side of the cardiovascular flow circut?
Elastic arteries, muscular arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, medium veins and large veins
Compare the strength of arterial walls and capillary walls?
arterial walls has smooth muscle and elastic fibers (strong and flexible) and capillaries are made up of a single layer of endothelial cells (thin).
Capillaries that have a incomplete lining are called?
continuous capillaries continuous capillaries
