What is the tiniest blood vessels with walls are only one cell thick are?
"capillaries"
What are the 3 types of blood vesseles?
The three types of blood vessels are:1. Arteries2. Veins3. Capillaries (small blood vessels in the tissues)They are:(1) Arteries - These are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. They generally carry oxygenated blood except the pulmonary artery.(2) Veins - These are the blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart. They generally carry de oxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein.(3) Capillaries - They generally form a capillary network through which substances are exchanged between the blood and tissues. Capillaries carry blood from arterioles (branches of artery) to venoules (branches of vein).
Where is simple epithelium found in the body?
Simple epithelium is found in the lining of the lungs, in capillary walls, and in blood vessels.
Why is the aortas wall so thick?
The aorta's walls are so thick because it needs to be able to withstand high blood pressure. If they are too thin, the would burst, and your heart would stop pumping blood. A heart without blood is unable to sustain human life.
Do nonvascular plants absorb water and nutrients?
Yes, Nonvascular Plants do not have vessels. Nonvascular plants are found in damp environments and are only a few cells thick, so they are able to absorb water and nutrients from it directly through their cell walls. Vascular plants are more complex and are thick, so they need vessels to get their water and nutrients. See related question

"capillaries"
What blood vessels contain thick muscular tissue within their walls to pump blood throughout the body?
Arterial walls contain thick, muscular tissue to pump blood throughout the body. Veins have thinner walls.
What does the capillary wall do?
The capillaries are one celled blood vessels with no real walls. It is primarily used to diffuse nutrients and gas through. It is known to be the most functional unit of the blood vessels.
What is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
No, systolic pressure is the highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels. Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels.
How does hypertention affect your blood vessels?
Well, it does not tell how. But it affects the walls of your blood vessels
Why an oil based injectable is not administered intravenously?
This is because oil based are irritating and may burn the walls of the blood vessels of the person. They are thick and may become too hot when in contact with the surface of the blood vessels. This may cause rupture or burn of the vessels.
What types of blood vessels contain thick muscular tissue within their walls to pump blood throughout the body?
Arteries are those blood vessels which have smooth muscular tissue. Artery is divided into 3 layers, 1, Tunicia Externa. 2, Tunicia Media. 3, Tunicia Intima/Interna. Tunicia media contains smooth muscles :)
What blood pressure readings means?
Blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system which transports blood throughout the body.Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It means blood pressure is the speed of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.
Why do arteries function better with thick walls?
Blood vessels that take blood away from the heart are called arteries. The high pressure of the blood pushes strongly on the thick, elastic artery walls. They stretch and shrink as the blood moves through them. This movement of artery walls makes a pulse. When an artery passes close to the skin the pulse can be felt and therefore used to count how fast the heart is beating.
Why don't capillaries have a thick elastic walls?
Capillaries do not have a thick wall. These are very small, thin, tiny blood vessels. Their main function is to bring blood from larger blood vessels into every furthest part of your body, and to remove cellular wastes from those areas.
Why are artery walls thick?
Arteries are blood vessels that transport blood, nutrients and OXYGEN to the body. All these substances have to get transported which is why they have more pressure to be forced to different body parts. Oxygen for example contains a lot of pressure. This supports the reason of the walls to be thick so that all the pressure does not cut or damage the arteries!
Blood preaaure is defined as the force that blood exerts on the inner walls of blood vessels true or false?
True, blood pressure is the force that the blood exerts against the walls of the blood vessels, usually the arteries.
