How did you distinguish between arterioles and venules when you observed the vessels in the frog's foot?

The frogÃ?s foot is compromised of thin skin making it ideal to view blood flow. The movement of blood into the capillary bed is monitored by the arterioles and the venules drain it away.

What are the components of double circulation?
Component??? If organ: heart and lung if blood vessels: artery(vena cava, arterioles), vein(aorta, venules), pulmonary artery, and pulmonary vein
Describe The structure and function of a capillary?
Capillaries are smallest in diameter blood vessels, connect to the smallest arterioles and the smallest venules. Capillaries are extentions of the inner linings of arterioles in that their walls are endothelium. These thin walls form the semipermeble layer through which substances are exchanged between the blood and the tissue fluid surrounding body cells.
Which is the best bescribes the flow of blood in systemic circulation?
Blood flow in the systemic system moves from the heart through the arteries, to the arterioles, to the capillaries, to the capillary beds, to the venules, to the veins and back to the heart.
What is the direction of blood flow?
In the arteries it is away from the heart (centrifugal), in the veins it is toward the heart (centripetal).
What is the function of each blood vessles?
arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart, to the cells. arterioles do the same thing, but they are small. veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart. venules do the same as veins, but they are also small. capillaries are the place where the exchange takes place, between oxygenated and deoxygenated.
What connects the arterioles and venules?
Capillaries are microscopic blood vessels that connect arterioles to venules. These blood vessels facilitate the movement between the blood and the tissues.
What are the main responsibility of the capillaries?
To exchange oxygen and nutrients between arterioles and venules
What connect arterioles to venules?
capillaries
The vessel that carries blood between arterioles and small vessels called venules?
False
What are skin capillaries?
any of the fine branching blood vessels that form a network between the arterioles and venules.
How are arterioles capillaries and venules related?
Arterioles are the small arteries that lead into the capillaries, which connect to cells in the body. Venules are the small veins that the capillaries flow back into, leaving the cells.
Do arterioles have valves?
No; arteries (and arterioles) depend on smooth muscle contraction, whereas veins (and venules) have valves.
What are arterioles and what are capillaries?
Arteioles are blood vessels that connect arteries and capillaries. Capillaries are blood vessels that connect arterioles and venules
How many kinds of blood are there?
Five- arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins.
What kinds of blood vessels are in the body?
Arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins.
How many kinds of blood vessels are there?
Five- arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins.
What types of blood vessels in the human body?
Arteries Arterioles Capillaries Venules Veins
