Where is fluid pressure the greatest?
Fluid pressure is the greatest at the deepest point. If the fluid is in different shaped vessels, the pressure is the greatest at the bottom of the vessel no matter what the shape.
What do vessels hold?
That depends on the kind of vessel you are talking about. Blood vessels, for instance, carry blood. Sailing vessels, on the other hand, carry crew, passengers, and cargo.
Who is responsible for avoiding a collision between two vessels?
the operators of both vessels
What is vasoconstiction?
vasoconstriction is when your blood vessels contract.
What is the purpose of heat tape?
The purpose of heat tape is to maintain and control pipes and vessels. This also keeps the heat that is being radiated from the pipes and vessels inside.
What transports blood to the vessels of the chest wall?
compare the kinds of blood vessels according to the thickness of the walls
Which structure is a Microscopic blood vessels with one cell thickness?
Capillary
What is the medical term meaning one cell in thickness and are the smallest blood vessels?
The smallest blood vessels are the capillaries.
What is a closed blood system?
Closed circulatory systems have the blood closed at all times within vessels of different size and wall thickness. In this type of system, blood is pumped by a heart through vessels, and does not normally fill body cavities.
What do collecting lymphatic vessels NOT share in common with veins of the cardiovascular system?
Thickness of the walls.
What structure is microscopic blood vessels that are only one cell in thickness?
capillaries
What is the nominal wall thickness in a shell or head of vessels?
technically nominal wall thickness refers to pipe wall thickness (average)..if you are referring to shell/hull/fore part of a vessel, the thickness varies depending of type, size, deadweight of the vessel
What blood vessels on one cell thickness?
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body (in terms of diameter), measuring about 20 micrometres (or one cell) across.
Why is there differences in size and thickness of the different vessels?
Because of their functions. Arteries have a very thick middle and outer layers because they have to bear the high pressure of blood coming from the heart. The walls of veins are thin because they carry blood at low pressure (but they have valves), and capillaries are only one cell thick because they have to exchange nutrients and wastes with the interstitial fluid.
I consist of the heart and the 3 different types of blood vessels.?
3 different types of blood vessels are the arteries veins and capillaries
Differences between vasodilation and vasoconstriction?
Vasodilation is relaxation of blood vessels leading to increase in lumen size. Vasoconstriction is contraction of blood vessels leading to decrease in lumen size.
Which vessels carry deoxygenated blood from different part of the body to the heart?
