What else can I help you with?
What vessel carries food and oxygen to the heart?
Food?! Nothing. If you're referring to how the blood gains oxygen, it is via the coronary arteries which surround the heart, providing the cardiac tissue with energy and oxygen. If you're meaning what blood vessel carries oxygenated blood to the heart it would be the pulmonary vein.
Does the blood vessel which carry blood from the heart to the lungs contain a lot oxygen?
Well, the lungs are where the oxygen is added to the blood. So, the short answer is 'no.' There may be some oxygen left, but the blood would probably be a deep blueish color. When the oxygen is added the blood turns red.
State which of the blood vessel would have the most glucose after a meal?
Hepatic Portal Vein
What returns oxygen-poor blood to the heart?
Yes, the blood from the lungs is rich in oxygen. Since you breathe in oxygen and nutrients through your nose/mouth to the lungs, the oxygen and nutrients are absorbed in the lungs and go through the blood stream into the heart
Why would blood vessel radius have a larger effect on the body than vessel length?
Blood vessel radius has a larger effect on the body because changes in radius significantly impact blood flow resistance, which affects blood pressure regulation and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. Vessel length, on the other hand, has a smaller direct effect on blood flow resistance and overall cardiovascular function.
What gases are exchanged when blood flows into lungs?
When oxygen enters our heart and into our lungs,it passes through tubes called alveoli .It then carries oxgen into the blood vessel,artery and carbon dioxide would then be carried out through our body.
What does a capillary connect to?
its a tiny blood vessel, so at one end would be the larger blood vessel and on the other end would be the portion of the body part it is supplying with oxygenated blood
A decrease in the autonomic tone of the smooth muscle in a blood vessel would result in?
an increase in vessel diamete
What is local myogenic spasm?
Muscle Spasm, this would be referring to when a blood vessel is broken, the response to fix it would be vasoconstriction. A myogenic spasm would aid in the loss of blood by briefly constricting the muscle where the broken blood vessel is located.
What would happen if you didnt have capillaries?
If we didn't have capillaries, we would die. This is because CAPILLARIES are the passageways between the arteries (carrying oxygen- rich blood AWAY from the heart) and the Veins (carrying oxygen- poor blood back INto the heart). Capillaries come in close contact with the body's organs. They exchange their oxygen- rich blood (provided by the arteries) with the organ's oxygen- poor blood (containing carbon dioxide). Thus, the body's organ supply of oxygen- rich blood is replenished. Then, the capillaries give their oxygen- poor blood (from the organs) to the Veins, which bring the blood back to the heart, so it can be filled with oxygen again. It's all a big cycle, and our capillaries play a big role in this cycle. The heart, blood, and blood vessels (arteries, veins, and CAPILLARIES) are all a part of the amazing Cardiovascular System! (Also known as Circulatory system) We really need those Capillaries !! So... What would happen, you ask? Well, the blood in the arteries an the blood in the veins would mix. That is very bad. Our body could not survive if oxygen-rich blood and oxygen- poor blood mixed. We have the capillaries to ensure they never interact!!
When giving an injection to determine if the needle is in a blood vessel you would?
Aspirate
How can a lack of oxygen cause strokes?
A lack of oxygen to the brain, known as hypoxia, can lead to strokes by causing damage to brain cells. This can disrupt the normal functioning of the brain, leading to a decreased blood flow and potentially causing a blood clot to form, which can then block a blood vessel in the brain and result in a stroke.
