Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to various tissues and organs throughout the body. They play a crucial role in the circulatory system by ensuring that oxygen and nutrients are delivered efficiently to support cellular functions. The walls of arteries are thick and elastic, allowing them to withstand the high pressure of blood being pumped from the heart.
What else can I help you with?
How does oxygen move around your body?
artaries
What are clogged artaries coused by?
bad Cholesterol plaque built by fatty deposits on the artery walls.
How are the blood vessels arranged related to the other organs of the body?
Blood vessels travel to all parts of the body including the organs through veins and artaries. Question needs expanding!
Define pulse and list factors that affect pulse rate?
MEANING OF PULSE pulse is the rhythmical throbbing of artaries produced by the regular contraction of the heart, especially as palpated at the wrist or in the neck.. THE 3 FACTORS ARE: fitness,age and, you heart
How does fatty foods cause illness?
the fatty food itself doesnt cause the illness as long as its prepared properly e.g. if it was like raw meat or something. but if you eat too much of it it could clog up your artaries and cause you to have either a heart attack (depending where it is) or a stroke amongst many other problems you can get from not keeping fit and eating too much fatty foods
Which organ controls blood activity?
Cardiovascular system (heart, lungs, artaries, veins), cardiovascular center (an area in the brain which regulates the heart found inside the medula), baroreceptors which pick up on blood pressure. This aside, if you're a student, do your own damn homework.
What is the life expectance of a sumo wrestler?
Mid-teens, usually 15 or 16 years old. You have to have completed 9 years of public school to be eligible to be recruited. You also have to meet the height and weight requirements.
Does salt in the soil kill plants?
Watering a most plant species with salty or brak water will kill them.Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. Osmosis is a flow of water molecules from a solution with lots of "pure" water to a solution with lots of solvents - across a semipermeable membrane (which in the case of the plant is the cell membranes of the root cells).Normally there are more solvents in the water inside the plant (a higher concentration), so water flows into the root hair cells from the soil.Watering the plant with salt water changes the "osmotic potential" of the soil - making the water surrounding the root more saline than the cell sap within the plant. This leads to reverse-osmosis, where the nutrients are actually drawn out of the plant and into the soil.In the short term this leads to wilting as the plant is not able to absorb enough water to sustain metabolic functions. Then nutrient deficiencies become apparent in the plant. Eventually the plant may die.Average bottled water contains about 300 parts per million (ppm) of dissolved salts. The majority of plants can withstand concentrations up to about 1200 ppm of dissolved salts. Plants that grow in alkaline soils can take up to about 2500 ppm. One of the most salt resistant plants is the Date Palm, this can take salt levels up to 12,000 ppm. Sea water contains about 35,000 ppm of dissolved salts.There are a group of plants known as halophytes which are adapted to growing in very salty water. These are common to coastal areas and salt marshes.
