Do arteries have thick walls compared to other blood vessels?
Yes, arteries have thicker walls compared to other blood vessels.
Is the blood that your heart pumps to your stomach part of the pulmonary circulation loop and why?
No, the blood that your heart pumps to your stomach is not part of the pulmonary circulation loop; it is part of the systemic loop. The pulmonary circulatory loop only travels to the heart and lungs in a circuit, with no other organs included.
The three major parts of circulatory system?
The SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION transfers oxygenated blood from a central pump (the heart) to all of the body tissues (systemic arterial system) and returns deoxygenated blood with a high carbon dioxide content from the tissues to the central pump (systemic venous system). The PULMONARY CIRCULATION is where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between the blood and alveolar air occurs. The PORTAL CIRCULATION normally is only one capillary bed for each branch of a circuit, however, there are a few instances where there are two capillary beds, one after each other, in series. hope this helps^_^
What are thromboembolytic disorders?
Thromboembolic disorders refer to conditions in which blood clots form in blood vessels and dislodge to travel and block blood flow in other parts of the body. This can lead to serious complications like heart attack, stroke, or pulmonary embolism. Risk factors include obesity, smoking, immobility, and certain genetic conditions.
What causes pink frothy sputum to be produced by the body?
Pink frothy sputum is typically caused by pulmonary edema, which is a condition where fluid leaks from blood vessels into the air sacs of the lungs. This can be a result of heart failure, pneumonia, or other lung conditions.
How does the plumonary artery and the pulmonary vein differ from all other blood vessels?
pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood and pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood
How is the blood in the pulmonary artery different from blood in other arties?
blood in pulmonary artry is oxygynated
How is the blood in the pulmonary arty different from blood in other arteries?
blood in pulmonary artry is oxygynated
What is different about pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins?
The pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein originates in the heart. What is different about them is that the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood (blood without oxygen) as supposed to other arteries, which carry oxygenated blood. And the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood unlike other veins, which carry deoxygenated blood.
Blood vessels that move toward and away from the heart are what?
Veins carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart and arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. There is one exception however. Pulmonary veins carry deoxygenated blood away from the heart towards the lungs and pulmonary arteries carry oxygenated blood towards the heart.
Where does blood travel to the lungs then to?
The heart pumps blood to different parts of the body through small tubes called blood vessels. The human body has two circulatory systems. Pulmonary Circulation and Systemic Circulation. Pulmonary Circulation - blood flows from the heart to the lungs and then back from lungs to heart. Systemic Circulation - blood flows from the heart to other organs in the body and back from other organs to the heart.
What vessel carries oxygenated blood in the pulmonary vein?
The pulmonary vein is the vessel that carries oxygenated blood. Veins, arteries and capillaries are all known as blood vessels as they carry blood around the body.The pulmonary vein is unusual because it is the only vein to carry oxygenated blood, all other veins only carry deoxygenated blood.
How is the blood in the pulmonary vein different from blood in the other veins?
I believe it has less carbon dioxide than other veins.
How is blood in the in the pulmonary vein different from blood in other veins?
I believe it has less carbon dioxide than other veins.
Name the blood vessels that carry oxygen poor blood away from the heart?
Arteries always carry blood from the heart. In this case, the artery is the aorta.
Which artery is the exception to the rule that veins carry deoxygenated blood?
The pulmonary arteries leave the right ventricle to travel to the heart, so carry deunoxygenated blood. The name "arteries" is used because the vessels are leaving the heart.The pulmonary veins, conversely, are coming back into the heart, so are veins, but they are carrying oxygenated blood.
Does the pulmonary vein contain oxygen poor blood?
Yes. After the right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs (through the pulmonary arteries), the pulmonary veins carry the oxygenated blood back to the left atrium of the heart.Because blood vessels are classified by whether they lead into or away from the heart, the pulmonary veins are carrying oxygenated blood, whereas the pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
