How would depoits on the walls of arteries effect the flow of blood moving through the body?

Assuming depoits is deposits, if there are "deposits" in the arteries, it restricts the flow and depending on how thick the deposit is, very little blood gets through. Imagine a fireman using the usual hose to kill a fire. Then imagine that he replaces that hose with a garden, say about 5/8 thich. The same water pressure and the same amount of water is still there but very little water gets through.
Same with deposits. The chamber is smaller. Now you have all kinds of problems, not to mention high blood pressure, poor circulation, etc., etc., etc., etc.

Do arteries contain more oxygen or carbon dioxide than veins?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood into the heart. Blood moving from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary artery has less oxygen than blood moving from the lungs to the heart through the pulmonary vein, but most arteries carry oxygen-rich blood with little carbon dioxide, and most veins carry deoxygenated blood with carbon dioxide and other wastes.
Why do you think the heart needs the coronary arteries to supply it with blood when blood is always flowing through the heart's chambers?
The chambers of the heart function as a pump; they do not utilize the blood that passes through because it is moving far too quickly and turbulently. Blood must run through capillaries at lower speeds/volumes in order to be used by cells. The coronary arteries branch repeatedly to produce a vast network of capillaries that supply the cardiac muscle cells.
What do arteries contain that prevent the back flow of blood?
Nothing, it is only pressure that keeps blood moving in the right direction in arteries. Veins have valves that prevent backflow of blood, but arteries do not.
What is the difference between elastic arteries muscular arteries and arterioles relative to location histology and functional adaptation?
Elastic (conducting) arteries are the large arteries close to the heart that expand during systole, acting as pressure reservoirs, and then recoil during diastole to keep blood moving. Muscular (distributing) arteries carry blood to specific organs; they are less stretchy and more active in vasoconstriction. Arterioles regulate blood flow into capillary beds.

What keeps blood moving in a circuit through the body even when the pressure is relatively low?
your heart is a pump and keeps the blood flowing

What would you see if you could watch your blood travel through your body?
You would see opening and shutting arteries and pumping moving blood

Is true of the Doppler effect?
the Doppler effect involves moving objectsthe Doppler effect involves moving objects
Why are valves present in veins but now in arteries?
valves are only present in veins to stop the blood to move backwards through the vein but in arteries the muscle puts alot of pressure on the blood which stops it from moving in the wrong direction
Where in the body is cardiovascular system?
It is everthing involved in moving blood - heart, arteries, veins etc.
What is the effect of balanced forces on an object that is not moving?
A group of balanced forces adds vectorially to zero, so has no effect on any object, whether it's moving or not moving.

What is the effect of a magnetic field on a stationary electric field?
The magnetic field will have no effect on a stationary electric charge. ( this means that the magnetic field is also stationary. ) If the charge is moving , relative to the magnetic field then there might be an effect, but the size and direction of the effect will depend on the direction of the electric charge as it moves through the field. If the charge is moving parallel to the field there will be no effect on it. If the charge is moving at right angles to the field then it will experience a force that is mutually orthogonal to the field and direction of the motion. You really need diagrams to properly explain this
Arteries contain valves that do what?
No arteries do not contain valves since there is enough pressure from the heart to force blood through these vessels without significant backflow between contractions.
