What causes capillaries to burst on abdomen?
High blood pressure or diabetes can cause capillaries to burst in the abdomen. Trauma to the area can also cause this.
How do you calculate injection pressure from product before injection molding?
By deviding the multification of line pressure and screw dia with the crosssectional area of hydralic cylinder piston.
Which vessels in the human body have the biggest surface area?
Capillaries
Which blood vessels cover the greatest area of the body?
capillaries
Which blood vessels cover most area of the body?
Capillaries.
Which vascular structures has the greatest combined surfaces area?
capillaries
What role do the capillaries play in gaseous exchange?
Capillaries are very thin and form almost web like structures. Because of how thin they are, they have a favorable surface area to volume ratio. Capillaries increase the surface area available for gas to diffuse into the blood. More suface area leads to more gas exchange.
Tuft of capillaries carrying high pressure blood?
glomerulus
Why is the velocity of blood flow the lowest in capillaries?
the total surface area of the capillaries is larger than the total surface area of the arterioles
Why is the blood pressure lower in lung capillaries than body capillaries?
Because if blood pressure in lung capillaries was as high as it is in body capillaries, the hydrostatic pressure caused by this blood pressure would force blood plasma out of the capillaries into intracellular spaces (as is done in body capillaries) or into the alveoli. This would reduce the efficiency of gas exchange.
What is difference between capillaries and veins?
Capillaries are smaller, thinner and have less surface area than veins. Veins take blood to the heart, and capillaries are the thin tubes that connect the veins and arteries together.
What area of the body totally lack capillaries?
Fingernails and hair.
