What artery in the arm is standard systemic artery in which blood pressure is measured?
Brachial Artery
Why is the artery thicker than a vein?
the artery walls must be thick to withold the pressure of the blood coming right from the heart. veins don't need that thick of walls because there is not as much pressure farther away from where the heart is located
What is an example of an artery?
A prime example of an artery is the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body, taking blood from the left ventricle and distributing it to the rest of the body.
Why the pulmonary veins carrying the oxygenated blood and not the pulmonary artery?
it's a pulmonary VEIN because the blood isn't under as much pressure (because it has yet to get to the heart) where as the pulmonary artery is coming straight from the heart so is under more pressure. (the pressure is caused by the heart's contractions)
When you cut an artery blood spurts out Why?
Because arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. There are many arteries that carry blood to all parts of the body. And how dangerous a severed artery is depends on how deep the cut is and what artery is cut.

Blood pressure is the force exerted against what?
artery wall
What would happen to the blood pressure in the pulmonary artery if more blood is drived to the lungs during exercise?
