What takes blood back to the back to the heart?
Veins take blood back to the heart.
Do arteries feed the veins?
Hmm; in a sense, yes. A more complete understanding would have arteries feeding capillaries, which feed the muscle or organ fresh blood, which is returned to the circulatory system by veins. Arteries carry oxygenated blood; veins return the now oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs, then heart, and back to the arteries, in brief.
What role do arteries and veins play in the excretory system?
Veins and arteries are in the circulatory system. Therefore that means they have something to do with pumping blood to cells around the body. So I would say that the role the arteries play in the body is that it carries blood to and from the heart to other parts of the body
Which blood vessel has blood color?
All vessels containing blood would have red blood; in arteries and in veins and smaller vessels.The blue appearance of veins is an optical illusion that comes from the way light works on skin. The veins look blue because they are closer to the surface, if arteries were not as deep, they would look blue, too. It has nothing to do with oxygenation of blood in arteries and all to do with the properties of light and skin.
What are the three major vessels of blood circulation?
The main organ would be the Heart. Other major organs are the veins and arteries. Lungs are also a part of the blood circulatory system.
TYpe of blood vessels delivers oxygen-rich blood from the heart?
The arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart and to the rest of the body. Veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart to be oxidized.
What are the two main blood vessels for transporting blood?
Veins and Arteries. Most people would know this =)
Which vessel would carry blood high in nutrients?
veins carry blood with high concentrations of waste products and arteries carry blood with high concentrations of nutrients
What are 5 different blood vessels in your arms?
Generally, arteries, veins and capillaries. In the arm, some examples would be the axillar, brachial, radial and ulnar arteries. Veins could include the cephalic and median cubital veins.
Why is the strcture of arteries different from veins?
This is because arteries have more force going through them than veins do. Arteries have a higher level of pressure as opposed to veins who are more relaxed and just have blood being pushed along through them rather than FORCED. If you put a vein in place of an artery, it would probably just burst.
Would you expect much of the exchange between red blood cells and body cells in arteries or veins?
The exchange between red blood cells and body cells primarily occurs in the capillaries, not in arteries or veins. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to tissues, while veins return oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. In the capillaries, oxygen and nutrients diffuse from the red blood cells into body cells, and waste products like carbon dioxide move into the blood. Therefore, significant exchange does not happen in arteries or veins.
Is the blood in the arteries is what dark blood?
The question is a little vague but I think it's referring to the difference in color between blood in the arteries and veins. Blood in the arteries is bright red. It is coming from the heart, by way of the lungs where it picks up oxygen, and then goes out to the tissues of the body to deliver it's oxygen. After the blood has delivered the oxygen it appears darker as it travels in the veins back to the heart. So "dark blood" would be found in the veins.
