What else can I help you with?
What is the lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your- blood pressure?
The lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your diastolic blood pressure.
Which blood vessel has a pulse?
Arteries have a pulse due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart, which creates a pressure wave that can be felt as the pulse in arteries. Veins do not have a pulse as they carry blood back to the heart at a lower pressure.
Does high blood pressure affect the veins?
Veins don't carry blood at high pressure arteries carry blood at high pressure. Arteries have a thick, elastic muscle layer that can handle high pressure of the blood flowing through them.
Where is blood pressure is the greatest?
in the arteries
Blood pressure is higher in veins than arteries?
No, pressure is higher in the arteries.
Why do arteries have thicker walls then veins?
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
What blood vessel carries blood at high pressure and why?
Arteries carry blood at high pressure, simply because they are linked directly to the heart and lungs.
In an orbiting space station would the blood pressure in major arteries in the leg ever be greater than the blood pressure in major arteries in neck?
yes the blood pressure in major arteries in the leg is greater than the blood pressure in arteries in neck during orbiting in an orbiting space station.
Do Arteries carry blood under high or low?
Arteries carry blood under high pressure. Blood is pumped by the heart into the arteries, which deliver oxygenated blood to tissues throughout the body. The thick, muscular walls of arteries help withstand the pressure of blood being pumped from the heart.
What generates blood pressure?
Blood pressure is generated by the force exerted by the heart pumping blood into the arteries and the resistance encountered by the blood flow in the arteries. The systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart contracts and pushes blood out, while the diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart relaxes and refills with blood.
What is the blood pressure when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries?
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
What is the pressure when the blood leaves the small arteries and enters the Capillaries?
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
