What else can I help you with?
What artery in the arm is standard systemic artery in which blood pressure is measured?
Brachial Artery
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 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
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.
Over which artery is the stethoscope placed when taking blood pressure?
When taking a person's blood pressure the stethoscope should be placed in the brachial artery.
When checking a blood pressure the name of artery that is palpated is?
radial is the artery that is palpated when checking a blood pressure
What artery in the arm is standard systemic artery in which blood pressure is measured?
Brachial Artery
What artery is generally auscultated to determine blood pressure in the arm?
Brachial Artery
What type of blood vessel do you take blood pressure in?
Blood pressure is taken through an artery. Normal BP is highest in the artery side of the circulatory system and lower in the venous side.
What blood vessel carries blood at high pressure and why?
Arteries carry blood at high pressure, simply because they are linked directly to the heart and lungs.
When you are taking the pulse where should you position the artery to be measured in relation to the level of the heart?
When taking a pulse, the artery being measured should be positioned at or below the level of the heart. This positioning allows for an accurate assessment of blood flow and pressure. If the artery is above the heart, the pulse may be weaker or harder to detect due to the effects of gravity on blood circulation.
What artery is blood pressure normally taken from?
radial
What is the lowest pressure against the walls of an artery called?
High Blood Pressure!
When blood is forced out of the heart?
systole (pressure in artery when blood is forced out of heart)
What is the term used to explain the new growth of blood vessels for patients with coronary artery disease?
The term used to explain the new growth of blood vessels for patients with coronary artery disease is angiogenesis. The old blood cells can create their own new cells.
When taking an animals pulse you can use which artery?
When taking an animal's pulse, the most commonly used artery is the femoral artery, located in the groin area. Other arteries that can be used include the radial artery, typically found at the wrist, and the carotid artery, located in the neck. The choice of artery may depend on the size and species of the animal. Always ensure to apply gentle pressure to avoid restricting blood flow.
