∙ 13y agoFrom the heart, blood travels through the Aorta, to arteries --> arterioles --> capillaries (which combine to form venules). The venules unite to form veins --> the superior/inferior vena cava (which are actually large veins).

∙ 14y agoThe movement of blood is caused by the pumping of the heart. The heart is a muscle.
Arteries are tough on the outside and smooth on the inside. An artery actually has three layers: an outer layer of tissue, a muscular middle, and an inner layer of epithelial cells. The muscle in the middle is elastic and very strong. The inner layer is very smooth so that the blood can flow easily with no obstacles in its path.
The muscular wall of the artery helps the heart pump the blood. When the heart beats, the artery expands as it fills with blood. When the heart relaxes, the artery contracts, exerting a force that is strong enough to push the blood along. This rhythm between the heart and the artery results in an efficient circulation system.

Do arteries get smaller as they move further from the heart?
The blood pressure in the arteries will decrease as they move further away from the heart. The arteries are the vessels which regulate the blood pressure from the heart.Ê
The only arteries in the body carry deoxigenated blood away from the heart are?
The only arteries in the body that move deoxygenated blood away from the heart are the pulmonary arteries. Arteries are blood vessels.
What vessels move the blood away from the heart?
Arteries move blood away from the heart.
What are differerences between veins and arteries?
Structurally, veins and arteries are very similar. The main differences is that veins move blood towards the heart, whereas arteries move blood away from the heart.
How does the blood move to and from the heart?
it moves through the arteries
Why do blood flows in arteries in jerks?
Blood in arteries moves because of pressure of blood from the heart. Each time the heart pumps, it pushes the blood a little further. Veins do not rely on the heart to move blood. Veins have a system of valves to keep the blood from not moving backwards, and muscles contract the veins to move the blood.
What are the blood vessels that move blood away from the heart called?
Arteries A good way to remember the difference between arteries and veins is A = away and A= arteries. Both away and artery start with A.
How does blood move in artery veins?
The heart pumps it. When your heart beats it squeezes blood in the heart into the arteries and from the arteries to the veins and from the veins back into the heart.
Which part is forced to move blood throughout the body?
Veins and arteries
How do skeletal muscles help blood move in veins?
because of the blood muscles that push the heriastic pulley. the move the blood through the veins and arteries.
What move blood to the heart?
Veins and Arteries move the blood throughout your body which are part of the Respiratory System with the help of the heart pumping the blood.
A vessel that moves blood away from the heart?
Arteries Veins carry blood to the heart. The general notion that all arteries carry oxygenated blood is incorrect. Because the pulmonary arteries and umbilical arteries carry unoxygenated blood.
