Blood pressure is the force exerted against what?
artery wall
What creates blood pressure?
The Cardiovascular system is slightly overfilled with blood , As result blood exerts an outward force against vessel wall , as it flow through them The term blood pressure refers to force exerted by Blood as it pressure against & Attempts to stretch the wall of blood vesseles
Throb felt in the arterial wall?
An aneurysm is a throb felt in the arterial wall.
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
Blood pressure measures the smount of pressure on the wall of?
Blood pressure is is sometimes called arterial blood pressure. It is caused by circulating blood on the walls of arteries. When the heart beats, it does not have a constant pressure. It rests slightly in between beats. There is a maximum called systolic and a minimum called diastolic. The pressure is measured in the upper arm at the brachial artery. The BP is expressed in systolic pressure over diastolic pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and normal blood pressure for an adult is 120/80.
Can vitamin C affect blood pressure?
recent findings that vitamin C may promote arterial wall thickening seem to contradict these findings, and further long-term studies are needed to assess the full benefits and risks of vitamin C in relation to blood pressure control.
Do blood clots cause aneurysms?
An aneurysm is a weakness in an arterial or venal wall caused by ageing, smoking, genetics, artherosclerosis, vasculitis, high blood pressure etc. Although a blood clot cannot cause an aneurysm it could certainly cause an aneurysm to rupture.
What is the medical term meaning bulging out an arterial wall due to weakness in the wall?
The bulging of an arterial wall due to weakness in the wall is arterial aneurysm (artery + pertaining to ++ dilation). Both words are of Greek origin.
Why is the blood in an artery flow faster and at a higher pressure than blood in a vein?
It is because your arteries An artery carries blood away from the heart, to the cells of the body. But your veins the vein carries the blood back to the heart
Why is important for arteries Tobe buried deep in the body?
It's important for arteries to be buried deep within the body for their protection. A rupture or breach of an arterial wall can result in rapid and dangerous blood loss because the contained blood is under high pressure.
Is a blood clot attached to the interior wall of a vein or artery.?
Blood clots are usually called -- a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) -- so I would say they attach to the interior wall of a vein. Maybe the pressure is too great in an artery for a clot to attach to the vessel wall
When blood leaves the heart and travels through the circulation does the pressure change?
Yes; the blood pressure tends to be highest closest to the heart (actually, the highest pressure in the circulatory system is in the left ventricle) and slowly drops as it reaches the capillaries. However, there is still some blood pressure at the capillaries, which is why the serum can be forced across the capillary wall into the extracellular fluid to exchange nutrients. There is also some blood pressure in the venous system, although it is much lower than the arterial side.
