In which part of the circulatory system does the greatest pressure drop occur?
The greatest pressure drop in the circulatory system occurs in the arterioles. Arterioles are small, muscular blood vessels that regulate blood flow and control blood pressure. As blood travels from the arteries to the capillaries, the arterioles cause a significant decrease in pressure to ensure proper exchange of nutrients and waste between the blood and tissues.
What factors control passage of molecules in and out of cell?
Transport control factors.
Why is the afferent arteriole larger than than the efferent arteriole?
Lot of fluid is filtered out in the glomeruli. Almost 180 litres of fluid per day is filtered in glomeruli. So to maintain the blood pressure in afferent arterioles, you need to have efferent arterioles with less diameter.
Do arterioles have the ability to constrict and dialate?
The Arterioles, which are smaller branches of the Arteries need to expand and contract. Reason being, the Arterioles are what control / regulate our blood pressure. When blood enters the Arterioles from the Arteries, they either contract or expand, which alters the amount and resistance of blood flow through them. If they remain contracted for any reason, this will make the heart pump harder due to the resistance, which will result in Hypertension, or high blood pressure. The arterioles, which are made up of smooth muscle, also carry blood to your capillaries, where the exchange of gases (O2 & CO2) takes place. O2 = Oxygen which we breathe in CO2 = Carbon Dioxide which we exhale
How do you control biodiversity?
enumerate the factors controlling biodiversity
How do arterioles control the desired blood flow to a tissue?
your an idot
What vessels control the flow of blood through the capillaries?
Arterioles.
The arterioles muscular arteries and elastic arteries are in what position from heart to capillaries?
left ventricle --> elastic arteries (aorta and its larger branches)--> Muscular arteries --> arterioles --> capillaries
Where do arterioles direct blood?
Arterioles carry blood from larger arteries to capillaries. This blood is high in oxygen. Capillaries bring blood to cells which need oxygen for energy production.
Is the diameter of the lumen larger in arteries or in capillaries?
Arteries have the largest diameter, then arterioles, and last, capillaries.
What Small vessels are involved in the control of blood pressure and distribution of blood ar?
arterioles
Why are there more arterioles in mammals than main arteries?
Arterioles carry bloo, under lower pressure than arteries, from arteries to capillaries. They also control the flow of blood between the two. In mammals main arteries are located primarily in and around the heart, whereas arterioles connect these to the capillaries

What large artery do these arteries branch form?
Yes, larger arteries branch off into smaller arteries known as arterioles.
What blood vessel connects arteries to capillaries?
Arterioles.
What are cardiovascular adadptions?
incorporations of father arterioles by daughter arterioles
What are factors that control traits?
Genes are the factors that control traits .
