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.
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.
How would deposits on the walls of arteries affect the flow of blood moving through the body?
ANSWER:The clogging of the arteries is caused by several factors related to coronary artery disease when fatty deposits of cholesterol and other substances stick to the arterial walls and create plaque. In response to plaque build-up, cells in your artery walls multiply and secrete additional substances that can worsen the state of clogged arteries. As plaque deposits grow, a condition called atherosclerosis results. This condition causes the arteries to narrow and harden. Arterial plaque can reduce blood flow or, in some instances, block the artery. Clogged arteries greatly increase the likelihood of heart attack, stroke, and even death.
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 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

What causes a fast-moving stream to deposit some of its load?
deposition

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.
In which direction is blood most likely to travel within the human body?
Blood is most likely to travel in a circular direction within the human body, moving from the heart to various organs and tissues through arteries, then returning to the heart through veins.
What is the effect of a non-moving charge on an electric field?
A non-moving charge does not affect the electric field directly, but it can still interact with other charges in the field through electrostatic forces.
When do steams deposit sediments?
When gravity and friction overcome the ability of the moving water to move them.
What is the order cleaning charges are deducted by a landlord after moving out nonrefundable or pet deposit?
