What promotes varicose veins?
Varicose veins are veins under the skin of the legs, which have become dilated and tortuous. They are very common.Blood flows down the legs through the arteries, and back up the legs through the veins. There are two main systems of veins in the legs - the deep veins which carry most of the blood back up the legs to the heart, and the superficial veins under the skin, which can form varicose veins. All these veins contain valves which should only allow the blood to flow towards the heart. Failure of these valves allows blood to flow backwards down the veins and increase pressure when standing. This excess pressure leads to dilation of the veins and the appearance of varicose veins.What causes varicose veins?Varicose veins and spider veins often run in families. Hormonal factors including pregnancy, menopause, the use of birth control pills and HRT also affect the condition. Other predisposing factors include ageing, standing occupations, obesity and leg injury.What are the symptoms?Other than cosmetic embarrassment the commonest symptoms from varicose veins are aching, discomfort, and heaviness of the legs, which are usually worse at the end of the day. Sometimes the ankle can swell too. Elevating the legs and wearing support stockings can help to alleviate the symptoms.ln a few people the high pressure in the veins causes damage to the skin near the ankle, and a red skin rash can develop. lf these skin changes are allowed to progress, or if the skin is injured, an ulcer may result.Other problems which varicose veins can occasionally produce, are superficial thrombophlebitis (inflammation of the veins) and bleeding.What is the treatment?The only way to get rid of varicose veins is with surgery or more recently, endovenous laser therapy or ultrasound guided sclerotherapy.www.specialistvascularimaging.com
How are veins and arteries like xylem and phloem in plants?
They are not very similar at all! The phloem vessels are most similar because the are alive and the run all the up and down the plant transporting substances other than water. The xylem vessels are really not very similar as they are lignafied (and therefore dead) they are woody and transport water from the roots. The arteries are probably most similar as they do not transport blood under high pressure, like the veins.

What is a superficial vein in the leg?
The superficial veins of the legs connect to the deep veins through "penetrating veins" which run perpendicular to the skin from one to the other. The deep veins are essentially a column of blood running from your head to you feet and so when one is standing are under high pressure. In order to keep this pressure away from the frail superficial veins the penetrating veins have valves. When one of these valves goes bad the high pressure is allowed to go back to the superficial veins which blow up like balloons and become visible as what we call varicose veins (or "spider veins").

Why is the heart connected to other organs?
Organs in the body are not directly connected to the heart. The heart pumps the blood through the circulatory system. The blood goes from the heart, to the arteries, to the capillaries, to the veins and back to the heart. These arteries, capillaries and veins run all through out the body to every organ to supply the body with blood. Even thought the heart is not directly connected to the organs its connected to every organ via arteries and veins.
How is viscosity important in your circulatory system?
it causes the capillary effect which makes the blood run up your veins
Why do veins have low blood pressure?
Fish have one circuit and two heart chambers in their circulatory system. Blood collects in the atrium and moves to the ventricle where it is pumped first to the gills to collect oxygen, then to the body to deliver the oxygen to tissues. Since the blood does not return to the heart after moving through the gills, it has low pressure as it moves through the body.
Where is the place of 3 kinds of blood vessels?
Three kinds of blood vessels: Arteries - Generally pump blood from the heart (Except the pulmonary artery) Veins - Carry blood to the heart Capellaries - between cells and arteries and veins. Arteries tend to be deeper within limbs and torso, while veins run nearer the surface. Veins running near the surface can cool blood. Getting rid of heat is a big problem for the human body.
How do you determine bleeding from the veins?

What are the three blood vessel types?
The three types of blood vessels are Capillaries Veins, and Arteries.

Arteries are the big vessels that run from the heart to the rest of the body. They bring bood tot he Capillaries. Veins bring de-oxygenated blood back tot he heart. Veins are a bluish color.
