What causes veins to appear close to surface. why do bruise marks appear for unkown reasons?
Superficial vein is a term used to describe a vein that is close to the surface of the body. It is used to differentiate veins that are close to the surface from veins that are far from the surface, known as deep veins. Superficial veins are important physiologically for cooling of the body. When the body is too hot the body shunts blood from the deep veins to the superficial veins, to facilitate heat transfer to the surroundings. Superficial veins can be seen under the skin.
Why are arteries found deep within the body and veins are found closer to the surface?
Arteries are not close to the surface in most places on the body because they need to be protected. But there are many places, called endangerment sites, where they are close to the surface, so health care workers need to be cautious when working in these areas. Usually, in most place on the body arteries and veins are close together, so are nerves.
Why blood pressure is higher in arteries than viens?
Arteries carry blood full of oxygen from the heart to your body's organs. Veins carry the blood back to the heart after the oxygen in the blood has been depleated by your body's organs. Since arteries are closer to the outlet of the heart, they also have a higher blood pressure than veins. It is also interesting to note that arteries tend to be closer to the core of your body, whereas veins tend to be closer to the outside surface of your body.
