What else can I help you with?
What are the thick walled arteries close to the heart called?
Muscular arteries
The arterioles muscular arteries and elastic arteries are in what position from heart to capillaries?
left ventricle --> elastic arteries (aorta and its larger branches)--> Muscular arteries --> arterioles --> capillaries
Does the veins or arteries depend on the respiratory and muscular pumps?
Arteries are under pressure from the heart.
Which blood vessels supply the heart's muscular wall with blood?
coronary arteries
How is oxygen delivered to the muscular wall of the heart?
Through the coronary arteries.
How does arteries function?
The arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the body. The walls of arteries are muscular allowing the arteries to constrict or dilate. The more constricted the arteries are, the higher the blood pressure.
What two ways are veins structurally different from arteries?
blood travels away from the heart through arteries and blood travels to the heart through the veins
How does the artery function?
The arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the body. The walls of arteries are muscular allowing the arteries to constrict or dilate. The more constricted the arteries are, the higher the blood pressure.
Do muscular arteries branch into arterioles?
Yes blood passes through Elastic Arteries, Muscular Arteries, and then Arterioles.
What is a correct definition for arteries?
Any of the muscular elastic tubes that form a branching system and that carry blood away from the heart to the cells, tissues, and organs of the body.
The arteries that are also called distributing arteries are called?
muscular arteries
Do you arteries have Thick Rough inner walls?
Arteries have thick muscular walls to push your blood and spread out the pulse so it lowers its pressure. Your blood pressure is quite high when it leaves your heart and it comes in pulses. When it finishes going through your arteries and into your capillaries, your body wants it to go slow and be gentle. The muscles in your arteries change it to a smoother flow as they push it along.
