Why is the aorta so large?
The aorta is sometimes concidered to be an organ because it is so large that it is made up of several different tissues (a simple definition of an organ being that it is made up of more than 1 tissue) although it is still only a very large artery and so is not usually described as an organ but a large blood vessel.
What does aorta do in the circulatory system?
dont ask me ask a docter
What type of waves is produced during an earthquake?
Seismic waves consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.
Do you need to fast for erythroctye sedimentation rate?
No it is not necesary to fast for an ESR blood test.
If a main artery in the leg is cut how long will it take for you to bleed to death?
If it is the femoral artery, you will bleed out extremely fast. Probably faster than it will take you to get to a hospital. Being the main artery in the leg that comes directly from the aorta, it contains an immense amount of pressure, which means, LOTS of blood.
How fast does blood travel?
Blood travels at three feet per second when it leaves the heart, but it slows down as it reaches smaller arteries and capillaries. Blood takes one minute to travel through the body.
How fast does blood travel through the veins?
Veins are blood vessels that carry blood back from the cells to the heart. The pressure is rather low and the blood is moving slower than when the blood first leaves the heart.
How fast do red blood cells travel?
325mph

How Fast does sound travel through water?

Why is it important that blood move very slowly through the capillaries?
Blood does not move slowly through the body. Blood moves very fast through the aorta. The speed of blood in aorta is about 50 cm per second. The speed of the blood through the cappilaries is very slow. It is only 0.05 cm per second. The The speed of blood in inversely proportional to the cross section of the diameter of the conducting blood vessels. The total diameter of the capillaries being very large, blood flows slowly through the capillaries. Although the diameter of the individual capillary is very small. But the length of the capillaries is very less. So this is not a problem, but an advantage. You get time for transfer of the nutrients and oxygen, as well as waste products of metabolism and carbon bi oxide. It takes only about 15 seconds for the blood to get back in the same chamber of the heart.
Who fast does sound travel through water?
