How long is all the veins arteries and capillaries combined?
The total length of all arteries, veins, and capillaries in an adult human body is more than 100,000 kilometers.
How many veins in the humans body?
There are millions of veins present in human body, which are not accounted yet accurately. Every organ has veins running from it branching off into many more capillaries. Approximately the total length of the veins in the human body ranges from 60,000 - 100,000 miles including the capillaries.
Which of the blood vessel has more muscle?
Arteries have more muscular walls than veins and capillaries. This allows the force needed to move blood to the entire body.
A tube that carries blood away from the heart?
Arteries, the veins carry it back, and the capillaries take it to the more un accessible parts of your body
Why are veins thinner than capillaries?
it has many more capillaries...if you were to wrap all of your capillaries around earth it would wrap around twice
Compare and contrast arteries veins and capillaries?
how? please be more specific!! thanks <3
Cardiovascular system is made up of?
The cardiovascular system consists of:The heart (the pump)The blood vessels (arteries, capillaries and veins which form a network around the body)Blood (fluid medium)
Are there more veins or bones in the human body?
There are more veins by far.
What are examples of blood vessels?
Blood vessels:arteries,arterioles,capillaries (smallest blood vessel),venules,and veinsSee related link for more information.
What are the main parts of circulatory system?
The circulatory system is about the heart pumping blood around your body. The parts the system has are the heart, which pumps blood to the lungs, giving the blood oxygen, and then sends the blood around your body in blood vessels (more specifically, arteries, veins capillaries).So the important parts are the heart, lungs, and blood vessels or arteries, veins and capillaries
Does blood move more rapidly or less rapidly after it flows from the capillaries into a vein?
more rapidly, in the capillaries the blood cells flow in "single file". In the veins, multiple cells are allowed to pass at once
What are arterioles and venues?
== == Arterioles are very tiny arteries. In some areas of the body there are places where arteries and veins come together in tiny formations to swap oxygenated blood (in the arteries) for unoxygenated blood (in the veins). (As the veins get smaller they become capillaries, then caprioles.) The arteries are responsible for delivering blood with oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Veins carry the "used blood" with no oxygen back to the heart where it passes into the lungs and picks up more oxygen and gets rid of the carbon dioxide that builds up as our bodies use the oxygen. The arterioles and caprioles come together to swap this blood. Well the above might be true but...... Arterioles are small arteries that deliver blood to the Capillaries. While Venules are small veins that are connected to the Capillaries.
