What is the functions of the facial artery?
What is function of facial artery What is function of facial artery What is function of facial artery What is function of facial artery
How wide is the arteries lumen?
it depends on the artery. different arteries have different widths.
What is the function of the cortical artery?
the function of the cortical artery is the kidenys
Are arteries less compliant than veins.?
YES! veins are more compliant than arteries. it means they are more capable of adopting their lumen size with changes in blood volume inside their lumen .when blood volume increase inside a vein lumen it easily expands and accepts whatever amount of blood reach and when blood volume decreases squeezes and adopt its lumen size for that amount of blood . but when we are talking just about arteries and want to compare one artery to another artery ,we should know that aorta is most compliant artery,remember the farther away from heart the less elastin in artery wall hence less compliance.
What is the tubular space within an artery referred to as?
The tubular space within an artery is referred to as the lumen. It is the inner open space where blood flows.
What is the arterial lumen?
The arterial lumen is the opening of the artery. As an analogy, the toilet paper roll lumen is what you put the spindle through.

Difference between artery and vein histologically?
arteries 've short lumen where as veins 've large lumen.
Double lumen PICC line colors and what they mean?
Double-lumen PICC lines come in two colors. Red is the blood access lumen or arterial lumen and blue is the blood return lumen or venous lumen. Despite the names, neither lumen is leads to an artery, but both lead into a vein.
How wide is the arteries lumen?
it depends on the artery. different arteries have different widths.
What is the function of the cortical artery?
the function of the cortical artery is the kidenys
What is the process called which involves the contraction of smooth muscle in the artery wall reducing the diameter of the lumen?
Vasoconstriction is normal contraction of smooth muscle in the artery wall.
Are arteries less compliant than veins.?
YES! veins are more compliant than arteries. it means they are more capable of adopting their lumen size with changes in blood volume inside their lumen .when blood volume increase inside a vein lumen it easily expands and accepts whatever amount of blood reach and when blood volume decreases squeezes and adopt its lumen size for that amount of blood . but when we are talking just about arteries and want to compare one artery to another artery ,we should know that aorta is most compliant artery,remember the farther away from heart the less elastin in artery wall hence less compliance.
How come smooth muscle fibers of an artery do not get nutrients from lumen?
The Vasa Vasorum supply the wall of the large arteries This method to feed the smooth muscle is necessary as the endothelium covering the lumen doesn't permit the ready diffusion of nutrients from the lumen.
In comparing a parallel artery and vein you would find that?
The artery lumen is smaller the arterial wall is thicker the arterial pressure is much higher the arterial compliance is much lesser
