∙ 11y ago
A blood clot, also known as a thrombus, is a tangle of microscopic fibers that blocks the flow of blood in a blood vessel. It can occur in both arteries and veins and can lead to serious health conditions such as heart attack or stroke if it travels to essential organs. Treatment options include medication to dissolve the clot or surgical procedures to remove it.

Describe the microscopic anatomy of a muscle fiber?
Skeletal muscle fibers are composed of thousands of fibers, each with a covering of loose connective tissue-endomysium. The fibers are organized in parallel bundles called fascicles. Each fascicle is surrounded by a perimysium sheath; the presence of collagen bundles suggests dense connective tissue. Multiple fascicles are encased in a dense connective tissue-epimysium, which covers the entire muscle organ. Blood vessels and nerve fibers penetrate to the endomysium to supply the muscle fibers.
What nerve fibers are most important in regulating blood flow?
Vasoconstrictor fibers
