What else can I help you with?
Is Artery more thicker than vein?
the wall of an artery is usuallythicker that the wall of a vein.
What is the cross section of arteries and vein?
A cross section of a vein shows a thinner wall than that of the artery, and shows one-way valves. A cross section of an artery shows a thicker, more muscular wall and no valves.
In comparing a parallel artery and vein you would find what?
In comparing a parallel artery and vein, you would find that the vein had thinner walls and a darker color. The artery would have thicker, more muscular walls and a brighter red color.
What are the differences of the wall of the artery and a vein?
The muscularis layer of arteries has a thicker layer of smooth muscle.
Is the wall for an artery more elastic than the wall of a vein?
Yes
Why the artery has a thick layer muscle then vein?
Because there is more pressure on the artery wall (from the heart) than that of the vein.
In comparing a parallel artery and vein you would find that?
The artery lumen is smaller the arterial wall is thicker the arterial pressure is much higher the arterial compliance is much lesser
Is a blood clot attached to the interior wall of a vein or artery.?
Blood clots are usually called -- a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) -- so I would say they attach to the interior wall of a vein. Maybe the pressure is too great in an artery for a clot to attach to the vessel wall
What do you notice about the width of an artery wall versus the width of a vein wall?
Artery walls are generally thicker than vein walls, which is primarily due to the higher pressure of blood that arteries must withstand as it is pumped from the heart. Arteries have more muscular and elastic tissue to maintain this pressure and regulate blood flow. In contrast, veins have thinner walls and larger lumens, as they operate under lower pressure and often rely on surrounding muscles and valves to assist in returning blood to the heart.
Which layer of the artery wall thickens most in atherosclerosis?
The tunica media is the thickest layer of of an artery
The structure of a capillary wall differs from that of vein or artery because?
it has a single tunic- only the tunica interna
Is a blood clot attached to the interior wall of a vein or artery?
Blood clots are usually called -- a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) -- so I would say they attach to the interior wall of a vein. Maybe the pressure is too great in an artery for a clot to attach to the vessel wall
