Artery and vein are two terms that are in the circulatory system. They are just anatomical terms. Arteries Always carry blood Away from the heart. Veins are the opposite. They carry blood back to the heart.
Most of the time arteries are higher in oxygen but not always. That is why you must understand that arteries always carry blood away from the heart.
What else can I help you with?
After blood cells leave the heart what kind of vessels and in what order does it move?
There are two blood vessels that take the blood away from the heart. The PULMONARY ARTERY takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to get oxygenated, and the AORTA which takes oxygenated blood from the heart and distributes it to the body.
What kind of blood is carried by the renal artery and renal vein?
The renal artery carries blood to the kidney, and the renal vein carries blood that has been purified by the kidney.
What are tubes called that carry blood?
Blood travels through the tubes known as blood vessels. There are three types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries always carry blood away from your heart, and veins take blood to the heart. Capillaries connect arteries and veins. The body's main artery, the pulmonary artery, takes blood from the heart. The pulmonary vein takes blood to it.The Veins are the "tubes" in our bodies that carry blood throughout the body.One kind of tube that carries blood around the body is the vein.Blood vesicles, ie arteries and veins.
What arteries carry blood away?
Kind of. Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the body where the oxygen is used up, and then the deoxygenated blood is transported through capillaries to the veins, through which it is taken to the heart.
What chamber does the pulmonary artery lead to?
The heart kind of looks like a royal crown. So in Latin, the word for crown (corona) was used to describe the heart. Thus, coronary means "pertaining to the heart". An artery is a blood vessel leading away from the heart toward another body part. This usually means that an artery is carrying fresh, red blood (oxygen-rich blood). So coronary artery means that fresh blood from inside the heart is being sent to the heart itself! This requires further explanation to those who are understandably confused by this.The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply the heart itself. The heart is a muscle that unselfishly pumps blood to the entire body 24/7- but the poor heart needs blood for itself in order to stay alive. The heart is made of muscle. Inside this muscle is a little system of blood vessels. The coronary artery feeds this heart muscle so that it can continue it's work.Blood has oxygen and nutrition in it as well as immune system components that help fight disease. All tissues of the body need all of these things to function and stay healthy. The heart is no exception- in fact, in the short-term, it's more crucial for the heart to get this stuff than most other tissues since it works so hard and is drastically affected by infections like those caused by streptococcus ("strep throat") bacteria.
Define the term collateral blood flow and describe how this and other factors affect the development of a stroke?
When a collateral vessel on the heart enlarges, it lets blood flow from an opencoronary artery to an adjacent one or further downstream on the same artery. In this way, collateral vessels grow and form a kind of "detour" around a blockage. This collateral circulation provides alternate routes of blood flow to the heart in cases when the heart isn't getting the blood supply it needs. When an artery in the brain is blocked due to stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), open collateral vessels can allow blood to "detour" around the blockage. This collateral circulation restores blood flow to the affected part of the brain.
What kind of thrombosis is damage to the heart muscle caused by a thrombus blocking a coronary artery?
coronary
What kind of blood do arteries carry?
Arteries carry arterial blood away from the heart through the aorta and carotid arteries. Venous blood is then circulated back to one of the vena cavas where it enters the right atrium, go's through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle so that it can be taken through the pulmonary valves to t he lungs. There, it once again becomes arterial blood, and is taken through the left chambers to the aortic arch and the cycle repeats.
What kind of blood do veins carry to the heart?
deoxygenated blood
What kind of blood goes from the lungs to the heart Why?
oxygenated blood so that the heart can then pump it out to the body
What kind of blood is being pump by the heart to the body?
The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
What kind of thrombosis damage heart muscle caused by a thrombus blocking a coronary artery?
Coronary Thrombosis
