Is blood pressure highest in the aorta pulmonary artery capillary bed or subclavian vein?
The order, from most to least pressure: * Aorta * pulmonary artery * capillary bed * subclavian vein This is because the aorta takes blood the farthest distance, from the heart to the rest of our body organs, so it requires a greater push from the heart. Pressure in the veins is always lower, due to the fact the blood flowing through them has travelled further. The pulmonary artery doesn't take blood as far as the aorta, so it therefore does not need as high a pressure.
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.
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)
Is blood pressure higher in the aorta or the pulmonary artery?
Aorta -The pulmonary artery is just going to the lungs, so it has to be lower pressure.The aorta is where all the blood going to the rest of the body is pumped through.
What is the name of the main artery which take blood from the heart to the body?
The aorta is the main artery that takes blood from the heart to the body. The aorta drains the left atrium.
Where is blood pressure highest in the body?
the blood preasure is highest closest to the heart because that is the organ that pumps all of the blood throughout the body including returning it to the heart
In which type of blood vessel is blood at its highest blood pressure?
Aorta has highest pressure. Pressure gradually decreases as blood moves towards heart.

What is the medical term meaning pressure against the arterial walls when the heart is at rest?
Blood pressure (abbreviated BP) is the pressure of blood against the walls of a vessel. The rhythmic beating nature of that pressure, caused by the alternating ventricular contraction and relaxation in the heart, is the pulse (abbreviated P).Blood pressure has two values - the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure.When the heart beats, it pushes blood through the arteries to all of the tissues in the body. It is at this point that the pressure from the blood against the artery walls is at its highest and this value is the systolic blood pressure.When the heart is at rest, in between beats, the pressure on the artery walls is much lower and this value is known as the diastolic blood pressure.blood pressure
Why is the blood in an artery flow faster and at a higher pressure than blood in a vein?
It is because your arteries An artery carries blood away from the heart, to the cells of the body. But your veins the vein carries the blood back to the heart
Where is the blood under the most pressure?
Blood is under the most pressure in the aorta- the largest artery in the body originating fro the left ventricle of the heart.
What is the blood pressure in radial artery?
The most accurate way to measure blood pressure is to use an artery closest to the heart. The radial artery is far weaker, and less audible making it a less popular area of the body to assess blood pressure. For medical purposes, the brachial artery is considered the most noninvasive artery to access when measuring blood pressure. Its no wonder that medical professionals dont constrict the carotid arteries to measure blood pressure.

Human blood pressure is highest in what vessel?
Blood pressure is highest in the arteries.
What is the primary artery that blood flows through when going from the heart out to the body?
The primary artery that blood flows out of the heart to the rest of the body is the aorta. The aorta is also the largest artery of the body.

Aorta -The pulmonary artery is just going to the lungs, so it has to be lower pressure.The aorta is where all the blood going to the rest of the body is pumped through.
