Arteries carry blood that is being pumped by the heart round the body. Therefore the pulsating is the result of the heart's contractions which push the blood round the body. The time in between the pulse beats is when the heart is refilling with blood.
The pulse can be felt because the blood is under great pressure from the force of the heart contraction pushing the blood against the walls of the artery and stretching them a little.
What else can I help you with?
When you injure ourselves where does the blood come from veins or arteries?
Mostly veins or tiny artery's. If you cut an artery you will have a pulsating bleeding
Why is the blood flow in arteries pulsating?
Arteries carry blood that is being pumped by the heart round the body. Therefore the pulsating is the result of the heart's contractions which push the blood round the body. The time in between the pulse beats is when the heart is refilling with blood. The pulse can be felt because the blood is under great pressure from the force of the heart contraction pushing the blood against the walls of the artery and stretching them a little.
How does the pulsating blood pressure in the largest arteries relate to their structure?
It reveals their elasticity. When the heart contracts and forces blood into the large arteries near the heart, they stretch to accommodate the greater blood volume (systolic pressure). Then, as the blood continues on in the circuit, their walls recoil, keeping pressure on the blood which keeps it moving (diastolic pressure).
Why do arteries veins and nerves always run together?
thermal regulation, heat from the arteries is not lost, and can be transferred to blood in the veins, thus making it easier for the body to maintain heat. The pulsating effect from the arteries muscular wall also acts as a pump to push blood in the veins back up the body often against gravity.
Does the blood flow in a pulsating manner or in a smooth fashion?
Blood flow is pulsatile, meaning that it moves in a rhythmic pattern due to the pumping action of the heart. This pulsatile flow is necessary to deliver oxygen and nutrients efficiently to all parts of the body.
Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are?
Arteries.
How are the arteries carrying blood to the lungs different from the other arteries?
The arteries carrying blood to the lungs contain deoxygenated blood. In contrast, other arteries carry oxygen-rich blood.
Name three blood vessels?
the three blood vessels are the Veins capillaries Arteries the arteries.
What are the vessels called that carry blood away from the heart?
arteries
What is a thick walled blood vessels that carry blood awayfrom the heart?
Arteries ALWAYS bring blood away from the heart. Vein bring it back.
Arteries carry blood away from the?
arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart
What blood do your arteries contain?
your arteries contain white blood cells and red blood cells.
