(you mean "do areteries pump blood at a high pressure?")
areteries do pump blood at high pressure when they are entering the heart.but it flows out at a slower pressure as it is entering the capillaries.the arteries a very narrow tubes and so for a successful flow the blood pumps into the heart quickly.
What else can I help you with?
What blood vessel carries blood at high pressure and why?
Arteries carry blood at high pressure, simply because they are linked directly to the heart and lungs.
What is the lowest pressure against the walls of an artery called?
High Blood Pressure!
What cavity sends blood with the most pressure?
The left ventricle of the heart sends blood with the most pressure. This chamber pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta, the body's main artery, which distributes it throughout the systemic circulation. The left ventricle generates high pressure to ensure that blood can effectively reach distant tissues and organs.
What two features of the circulatory system may produce high blood pressure?
Two features of the cirulatory sytem that might produce high blood pressure are heart rate and artery size. If your hert is beating fast, it will push blood rapidly through the arteries, building up blood pressure. If your artery size are small, then the narrow or partly clogged arteries produce high blood pressure. A third option would be artery elasticity. If you artery looses their elasticity and becomes hard, it may also produce high blood pressure as well. Hope that answers your question!! ;)
How does the structure arteries enable them to withstand high pressure?
The heart is awesome. it pumps the blood and fills the arteries making them high in blood pressure. --3

Name the blood vessel that brings blood under high pressure to the kidney?
The renal artery brings oxygenated blood under high pressure to the kidney, where it branches into smaller vessels to deliver blood to the nephrons for filtration.
Where is blood under its greates pressaure?
Blood is under its greatest pressure in the arteries, specifically in the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body. This high pressure occurs during systole, when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the aorta. As blood moves through the circulatory system, pressure decreases in smaller arteries and arterioles, ultimately reaching its lowest point in the veins.
Which type of blood vessel is blood at its highest pressure?
Pulmonary arterial system has high pressure but low oxygen concentration.
Why would the pressure be different in the pulmonary artery during a heart beat?
The pressure in the pulmonary artery is different to that of the aorta for two reasons. The right side of the heart which pumps the blood to the pulmonary artery and subsequently the lungs has less muscle, resulting in a weaker contraction and a weaker pressure. The reason the right side is smaller is because the blood pressure does not need to be high as the de-oxygenated blood travelling through the pulmonary artery is only being carried to the lungs for re-oxygenation. This is unlike the left side which needs to pump oxygenated blood around the entire body, thus resulting in higher and stronger muscle mass and a higher blood pressure.
What Vessel would blood POUR out of a vein or ARTERY?
Blood would pour out of an artery, as arteries carry blood away from the heart under high pressure. When an artery is cut or damaged, the blood can spurt out forcefully due to this pressure. In contrast, blood from a vein flows more steadily and less forcefully, as veins carry blood back to the heart at lower pressure.
What heart chamber is called the high pressure pump?
Left Ventricle, because it pumps blood to the systemic circuit whereas the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
