What else can I help you with?
The greatest drop in blood pressure occurs in the?
the veins
What are the smallest blood vessels where exchange occurs called?
veins
What mineral occurs in veins?
Copper, gold, silver, to name only three.
What is small netted veins?
In other plants, netted venation occurs, in which the large veins branch repeatedly as they enter the blade. These produce smaller, interconnecting branches as well.
What blood vessels transport?
Blood is transported in arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries are the vessels that take blood from the heart. Veins are the vessels that take blood back to the heart, and capillaries are the tiny vessels that attach the arteries and veins. Transport of oxygen and nutrients occurs on the capillary level.
Why no exchange occurs between the tissues and the blood in arteries and veins?
Exchange between tissues and blood primarily occurs in the capillaries, not in arteries and veins. Arteries transport oxygenated blood away from the heart under high pressure, while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The walls of arteries and veins are too thick and impermeable to allow for the diffusion of nutrients, gases, and waste products. Only the thin-walled capillaries facilitate this exchange due to their close proximity to tissue cells.
Why does Atherosclerosis occur in arteries and not in veins?
Atherosclerosis occurs when LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins) get oxidized. Since the plasma in the arteries contains plenty of oxygen to oxidize the LDL's it occurs mostly in arteries. In the veins, there is little oxygen to be found, so it is much more likely to happen in the arteries for that reason.
Blood flow in the body follows the pattern of?
Heart to arteries to capillaries to veins.
What is the medical term meaning abnormal accumulation of fluid in the legs and ankles that occurs when veins or lymph vessels do not drain properly?
lipedema
What is the function of capallaries?
The capillaries serve as the bridge between arteries and veins where the exchange of chemical substances inside the body occurs.
Does gas exchange occur in the arteries or veins why or why not?
Gas exchange primarily occurs in the capillaries, not in arteries or veins. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to tissues, while veins return oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. The capillaries, which are small blood vessels that connect arteries and veins, facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and surrounding tissues. Therefore, gas exchange does not take place directly in arteries or veins.
In Hill End what type of gold do you find?
Saddle-reef gold is found in Hill End, New South Wales. This occurs in quartz veins.
