How is the flow of blood different to the right arm? Merely exchange the "left" with "right" :)
Reference: A & P ll Blood Vessels
Yes, the left arm is connected to the heart through a network of blood vessels called arteries and veins. The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood through the arteries to the left arm, providing it with the necessary nutrients and oxygen for proper function.

A tourniquet cuts off blood flow. The arm or leg will not immediately become gangrenous. First, the skin would feel numb. The arm would begin to throb as if it 'went to sleep', with tingling, burning, etc. The person would likely be wiggling their fingers to get feeling back and would remove the tourniquet at that point, if lucid and not in shock from bleeding. If the restriction to blood flow was left on, the skin color and temperature would begin to change. The fingertips (or toes) would die first.
No, your left arm is not directly connected to your heart. The heart is connected to the circulatory system, which pumps blood throughout the body, including to the arms.
The scientific name for your upper arm is the Humerus
When you stop the blood flow and then let the blood back into your arm you get pins and needles, it can be caused by learning on it.
While in the womb,his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck and left arm, which cut off the blood flow to the arm which saved his life.
After an ultrasound of my left arm ( for blood clot) .I wwas told that the blood flow is retrograde.I just underwent aortc vavle transplant.this being my third.the mitral and tricuspid. does retrograde blood flow mean
The blood carries oxygen and nutriens throughout your body. In your case you had to hold your arm in wierd position and the blood couldn't flow into your arm what made your arm turn red/purple and go numb.
Same as numbness in hand or arm. Cold feeling is generally caused by lack of circulation. Try flexing and gripping your hand to increase blood flow.
If you were sleeping on your left side, you could have caused the blood to not flow regularly. It is possibly just pins and needles.
Seeing stars when you lift your arm above your head can be due to decreased blood flow to the eyes, leading to temporary visual disturbances. This can happen because blood vessels in the neck can be compressed when the arm is raised, affecting blood flow to the brain and eyes. It's important to lower your arm slowly if you experience this sensation to restore normal blood flow.
The difference in vascularity between your left and right arms may be due to variations in genetics, muscle development, or blood flow distribution. It is common for one arm to appear more vascular than the other due to these factors.
The rate of blood flow through a person's arm can vary depending on factors such as blood pressure, heart rate, and overall health. On average, blood flow through the arm is about 5-6 liters per minute in a resting adult. During exercise or increased demand, blood flow can increase significantly.
The myocardium does not have blood flow to the arm. The myocardium is the muscle of the heart and therefore only supplies blood to the heart.
A tourniquet should be left on the arm for no longer than 1-2 minutes for a blood draw. Leaving it on for longer can lead to complications like tissue damage, nerve injury, or blood pooling. It's important to release the tourniquet once the needle is inserted to prevent any adverse effects.
