Are arteries the main artery in your body?
There are five types of bloods vessels: arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and. Arteries distribute blood to the body and arterioles, the arterioles mostly innervate tissues and organs. Systemic arteries and arterioles hold about 13% of the bodies blood at any given time. The aorta is the largest artery in the body, it starts at the heart and ends just above the pelvis.
How is the structure of arterioles different from that of arteries?
The wall of the arterioles contain less elastic fibers but more smooth muscle cells than that of the aorta and arteries.
What large artery do these arteries branch form?
Yes, larger arteries branch off into smaller arteries known as arterioles.
What is the larger artery?
"largest" artery in the body is the aorta, which is the main artery that comes off the left ventricle.
Where does the artery carry blood to?
The aorta receives blood directly from the left ventricle of the heart.
What carries blood away from the aorta to the arterioles?
Blood is carried away from the aorta to the arterioles through a network of progressively smaller arteries. The aorta branches into several major arteries, which further divide into smaller arteries and then into arterioles. These arterioles regulate blood flow into the capillary beds, where nutrient and gas exchange occurs.

What blood vessels function to carry oxygenated blood from the aorta to the smaller arterioles and capillaries?
R.b.c
The arterioles muscular arteries and elastic arteries are in what position from heart to capillaries?
left ventricle --> elastic arteries (aorta and its larger branches)--> Muscular arteries --> arterioles --> capillaries
What is the first blood vessel of pulmonary circulation?
I believe the first vessel is the pulmonary trunk which brings the deoxygenated blood to the pulmonary arteries and so on....
Site where resistance to blood flow is greatest?
Veins hold the greatest volume of blood in the body--------and the heart along with the nerve glands in your throat.....
The largest artery in the body is the?
The Aorta is the biggest artery in the human body
What large artery do these arteries branch form?
Yes, larger arteries branch off into smaller arteries known as arterioles.
Why is the aorta the thickest blood vessel?
Because it has to face the Total Peripheral resistance that is created by the arterioles, and overcome that resistance to pump blood.
When blood leaves the heartit first enters?
The blood leaves the heart through the aorta, the largest artery in the body. From there, it travels to smaller arteries and arterioles, ultimately reaching the capillaries where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged with tissues.
What is the circuclatory system?
the blood system in the body - consists of the heart, aorta, all the arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins, vena cavas
