What is an arterial blood gas?
An arterial blood gas is a blood test in which a syringe is used to draw a small blood sample from an artery.
Meaning of artery?
The trachea or windpipe., One of the vessels or tubes which carry either venous or arterial blood from the heart. They have tricker and more muscular walls than veins, and are connected with them by capillaries., Hence: Any continuous or ramified channel of communication; as, arteries of trade or commerce.
What cause the blood to flow through the blood vessels?
The heart is a pump and move blood through the blood vessels.
What is physiological shunt?
Is a mixtures of oxygenated blood with some deoxygenated blood. It results in reduction of arterial PO2 by 2mmHg and reduction of arterial oxygen saturation by 0.5% compared to oxygenated blood coming from alveolar capillaries
What is the allopathic treatment of transient ischemic attack associated with ischemia?
Carotid endarterectomy surgery involves removing arterial plaque from inside blood vessels.
What is the name of the blood vessels that carry arterial blood into the capillary bed where filtration will occur?
loop of Henley
What are conductance vessels?
Conductance vessels, also known as resistance vessels, are the small arterial blood vessels in the circulatory system that regulate blood flow by controlling the resistance to blood flow. They are primarily responsible for distributing blood flow to different tissues and organs based on their metabolic needs. Constriction or relaxation of conductance vessels helps to regulate blood pressure and maintain proper tissue perfusion.
What are capillars?
capillaries are the smallest of the blood vessels. They connect the arterial system to the venous system and are the site of interaction between the blood and the rest of your body
In which kind of blood vessels is blood pressure usually highest?
The arteries, but to be exact, the aorta.
What is a minute blood vessel between the arterial and venous systems?
Very fine blood vessels are called capillaries.
Do both arterial and venous vessels have valves?
No, only venous vessels have valves. Valves in veins help prevent the backflow of blood and aid in promoting blood flow back to the heart. Arterial vessels do not have valves because blood in arteries is under higher pressure and flows away from the heart.
What Small vessels are involved in the control of blood pressure and distribution of blood ar?
arterioles
What is mean artery?
the pressure of the circulating blood on the arteries; "arterial pressure is the product of cardiac output and vascular resistance"
What Conditions affect mean arterial pressure?
Some conditions affecting mean arterial pressure, or MAP, blood pressure, heart rate, resistance to blood flow in the vessels, and cardiac output which is the volume of blood pumped out by the heart. Increasing or decreasing any of the can change your mean arterial pressure and cause consequences to the organs in the body.
Why are arterial walls thicker?
to withstand the strong pressure that flows through the vessels as a result of the oxygenated blood that is being pumped from the heart.
What is the best sample for the determination of blood pH and blood gases?
arterial blood
Blood vessels that direct blood toward the heart?
Veins (vena-cava) direct venous blood to the heart, the coronary arteries direct arterial blood to the heart.
