What occurs when clotting in the vessels occurs in large arteries?
If this clotting occurs in the larger arteries, it results in major tissue damage.
What distinguishes a stroke from a heart attack?
Yes.Because the arteries in the heart are cloggedA stroke is a disruption of the blood supply to the brain can cause part of the brain not to function. A heart attack is an interruption of the blood supply to the heart due to for example, blockage of artery leading to the heart. Causes heart cells to die.
Which blood vessel carry blood from all over the body back to the heart?
Arteries, the largest of which is the Aorta. Arteries then split down into smaller blood vessels called arterioles and then smaller still into one-cell-thick vessels known as capillaries. These capillaries are where diffusion, movement of Oxygen from the blood vessels into the nearby tissue cells, occurs.
How may moyamoya disease lead to cerebral hemorrhaging?
Cerebral hemorrhage occurs as a result of breakdown of the coexisting blood vessels that formed earlier in life due to stenosis or occlusion of the ICA
How does a cold front affects CA?
Cold fronts tend to effect the eastern states more than the western states. However, California can get cooler weather when a cold front occurs which can effect fishing.
What happened to blood vessels when cardiovascular occur?
When a cardio vascular event occurs there is either bleeding due to rupture of vessels or blockage due to thrombosis
What develops to take blood through an alternate route?
Collateral vessels can enlarge and grow to provide alternate routes for blood flow. This process is often seen to occur after a blockage occurs in the heart.
What is neovascularization?
This is the genesis of new and fragile blood vessels following an occlusion (blockage) of an existing vessel. This phenomenon often occurs in the retina. It is widely considered to be highly undesirable as these fragile vessels are prone to hemorraging, thereby starving surrounding tissue of blood nutrients. Condition is traditionally treated by photocoagulation which is the use of lasers to cauterise these new vessels.
Why did apendisides come?
Appendictis occurs when there is a blockage of the appendix lumen. When this blockage occurs, the appendix becomes inflamed, and can become infected. If this continues to the point of rupture, and the appendix bursts, peritonitis can occur.
Where does atherosclerotic blockage occur the most often?
Most often, atherosclerotic blockage or narrowing (stenosis) occurs in the femoral arteries
When a blood vessel is broken what is the first body response?
Hemostasis is the name of the response to broken blood vessels. This response occurs when blood ruptures or leaks out of the body's vessels. The body reacts with a vascular plugging effect that clogs the leakage of the blood vessel.

What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels and also occurs when the ventricles contract?
The highest pressure against the blood vessels is Systolic Pressure, and it occurs when the ventricles contract.
What occurs when clotting in the vessels occurs in large arteries?
If this clotting occurs in the larger arteries, it results in major tissue damage.
What is paralytic ileus?
In paralytic ileus, the bowel stops moving contents along, and a blockage occurs.
Where does the exchange between blood vessels and cells occurs at the?
capillaries
What are the smallest blood vessels where exchange occurs called?
veins
