Where do coronary veins empty blood?
The coronary sinus is a collection of veins joined together that collect blood from the myocardium. The coronary sinus empties into the right atrium. I will answer more of your questions! :D ~Best_Cousins
What vein carry more oxygen to heart?
Pulmonary vein carries more oxygen because it is an exceptional which carries oxygenated blood
What blood vessel carries the most oxygen?
Most arteries are high in oxygen except for the pulmonary arteries.Most veins carry blood low in O2 The only veins that carry blood high in oxygen are the pulmonary veins.
What do pulmonary arteries transport?
oxygen-poor blood to the lungs to get more oxygen and to release unneeded carbon dioxide for the lungs to remove
Does the Blood that is pumped from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary artery have more carbon dioxide or more oxygen?
More oxygen, for the pumped blood circle through the body and the body consumes more oxygen and carries more oxygen than it carries carbon-dioxide.
What is path of blood flow in heart?
The deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. The deoxygenated blood then goes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. From the right ventricle the deoxygenated blood flows through the pulmonary valve to the lungs to be oxygenated. The blood goes to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries to get to the lungs. At the lungs diffusion (movement of things between a higher concentration and a lower concentration) occurs and the higher concentration of oxygen in the lungs (more specifically alveoli) goes to the lower concentration of oxygen in the capillaries (extremely small blood vessels). The same thing occurs with Carbon Dioxide except it is going from the capillaries from the lungs. The now oxygenated blood flows from the lungs to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins, where it is sent to the left ventricle through the mitral valve. From the left ventricle the oxygenated blood goes through the aortic valve, into the aorta, and all throughout out the body.
What is the arteries main function?
Most arteries carry oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Most veins carry deoxygenated (containing less oxygen and more carbon dioxide and other wastes) blood from the body tissues to the heart, which then sends that blood through the pulmonary system to be oxygenated again. The only exception to this is the pulmonary system. The pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood back to the heart and the pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

Blood leaves the right ventricle and passes through?
Blood travels from the left ventricle to the aorta through the aortic valve.
What are the main reasons to perform heart bypass surgery?
Heart bypass surgery is performed when one has a blockage in one or more of their coronary arteries. When one or more coronary arteries are blocked, the heart does not receive enough oxygen and the patient may have chest pain or damage to the heart.
What is the difference between sinus tachycardia and inappropriate sinus tachycardia?
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia is a rapid heart rate at rest. The heart rate is more than 100 BPM. If the heart rate is more than 100 BPM less blood fills the coronary arteries so the less energy the heart has. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia needs treatment if the heart rate does not slow down with rest. It is only really a problem at rest. Sinus tachycardia is similar to Inappropriate sinus tachycardia. Sinus tachycardia is where the heart rate goes more than 100 BPM. It is normal for it to occur during excerise. Its only at rest it is classed as Inappropriate sinus tachycardia. How it can happen: 1) ST = sinus tachycardia is caused by increased sympathetic imput to the hearts pacemakers. The rythme of the heart is even and regular. Physical activity, Electric shock ( Inappropriate sinus tachycardia or sometimes V-fibb) Drugs These are things that can increases heart rate
How does arterial blood and venous blood differ with regard to their oxygen and carbon dioxide content?
Arterial blood have more Oxygen and venous blood have more CO2 except the pulmonary vien which carry oxygenated blood to the heart for pumping to arteries.
