The fastest blood vessel for carrying blood is the Aortic arch. Its responsibility is to transport blood to every part of the body in the systemic circuit, except the lungs. It also has the largest discharge, called stroke volume, and the highest blood pressure. That is why it has pressure receptors, called baroreceptors, that measure blood pressure as it is ejected from the left ventricle of the heart, past the aortic semilunar valve, and into the arotic arch.

What blood vessel has the lowest velocity?
capillaries
What type of blood vessel holds the greatest volume of blood?
isn't it your heart. = )
What is the relationship between cross sectional area of blood vessel and velocity of blood flow in that vessel?
Proceeding downstream from the aorta, branching of arterial vessels increases total cross-sectional area and thus results in diminished velocity of blood flow from the aorta to the capillaries. Velocity increases from the capillaries to the large veins with the confluence of vessels and the resulting decrease in total cross-sectional area. :)
Which blood vessel holds the greatest volume of blood?
Veins hold the greatest volume of blood: Veins= about 1/2 Heart and lungs= about 1/4 Arteries= about 1/4 Capillaries= about 5%
The velocity of blood flow is?
slowest in the capillaries because the total cross-sectional area is the greatest
Which of the following statements about arteries and veins is false?
Veins can collapse, serving as the blood vessel with the greatest resistance to blood flow in the circulatory system
What is The greatest velocity a falling object?
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
What is the medical term meaning expansion of a blood vessel?
Dilation of a blood vessel is the term for physiologic widening of the vessel. Abnormal widening of the blood vessel through a weakening of the wall is known as aneurysm.Dilation of a blood vessel means widening of the vessel.
What is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
What is the function of the ventral blood vessel of a worm?
Blood vessel on the bottom of a worm Blood vessel on the bottom of a worm
What is the effector for blood vessel constriction?
Damage to the blood vessel.
Is the left atrium a blood vessel?
Yes it is a Blood Vessel
