After blood leaves the arteries, it enters smaller blood vessels called arterioles which help supply the body with blood and then they break down into even smaller vessels called capillaries which then carry the oxygenated blood to the tissues, organs and all cells of the body. Then after the body uses up all the oxygen, the blood becomes deoxygenated which then enters venules and then veins which lead up back to the vena cava of the heart. It then enters the right atrium then passes through the tricuspid valve and then enters the right ventricle, then leaves the heart via the pulmonary artery which enters the lungs to oxygenate the blood.
Yes. Blood always flows from a higher pressure to a lower pressure, so as the blood moves from the arteries through the capillaries and into the veins pressure drops considerably.
Arteries Veins carry blood to the heart. The general notion that all arteries carry oxygenated blood is incorrect. Because the pulmonary arteries and umbilical arteries carry unoxygenated blood.
the vessel is called a artery
Blood in arteries moves because of pressure of blood from the heart. Each time the heart pumps, it pushes the blood a little further. Veins do not rely on the heart to move blood. Veins have a system of valves to keep the blood from not moving backwards, and muscles contract the veins to move the blood.
The pressure decreases as it moves away from the heart.
Arteries
Blood moves through veins and arteries in most parts of the body. Veins carry deoxygenated blood and arteries carry oxygenated blood.
The capillaries.
Blood pressure decreases as blood moves from arteries to veins. For this reason, veins have valves to encourage the one-way flow of blood back to the heart.
arteries
it moves through the arteries
Yes. Blood always flows from a higher pressure to a lower pressure, so as the blood moves from the arteries through the capillaries and into the veins pressure drops considerably.
I think the blood moves in veins similarly to arteries but in the opposite direction. I mean as the heart pushes the blood into arteries, in an opposite way when heart is contracted the blood is pulled to it as a reaction for the action of pushing.
veins and arteries
It moves through veins and arteries.
Blood moves toward bifurcation coming off of arteries.
Arteries Veins carry blood to the heart. The general notion that all arteries carry oxygenated blood is incorrect. Because the pulmonary arteries and umbilical arteries carry unoxygenated blood.
