What the difference between the pulmonary arteries and other arteries in the body?
they carry deoxygenated blood
What is the name of the heart valve that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries?
tricuspid valve
Which of the pathway includes the heart lungs and the arteries and vein between them?
The pulmonary circuit.
What condition is indicated by the structural difference between systemic and pulmonary arteries?
Elatic recoil.
Structural differences between arteries and veins?
Pulmonary Arteries lead from the heart to the lungs. Systemic arteries go everywhere else. Consequently, the pulmonary arteries are usually slightly smaller and thinner. There is also less of them.
What is the valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery?
The pulmonary or pulmonic valve (a semilunar valve) controls blood flow from the right ventricle to the "pulmonary trunk" that branches into the two pulmonary arteries carrying blood to the lungs.
What is an abnormal opening between the pulmonary artery and the aorta?
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Valves found between the ventricle and blood vessels?
Well, between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries is an atrioventricular valve called the PULMONARY VALVE . Between the left ventricle and the aorta is an atrioventricular valve called the AORTIC VALVE
What is the difference between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?
The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs. The pulmonary vein carries blood to the heart from the lungs. Unlike all other veins and arteries in the body the pulmonary artery has de-oxygenated blood and the pulmonary vein has oxygenated blood.
Differentiate vains arteries and capilliaries?
Veins carry deoxygenated blood, arteries carry oxygenated blood, and capillaries are for gas exchange between tissues and blood. One exception to that is the pulmonary artery and pulmonary veins of the heart -- they are named backward. The pulmonary artery actually carries the deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, and the pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What are the differences between the three types of blood vessels?
Arteries carry blood away from the hart, they have the highest blood pressure and amount of oxygen. (except for pulmonary arteries) Capillaries carry blood from arteries to veins. They are a single cell wide and exchange chemicals with nearby tissue. Veins carry blood towards the heart, and have the lowest amount of oxygen. (except for pulmonary veins)
What role do arteries capillaries and veins play in the cardiovascular?
These serve in transporting blood between heart, organs, and muscles. Arteries usually leave the heart and transports blood to the body(systematic circulation) or to the lungs(pulmonary circulation).
