What else can I help you with?
Does everyone have venous blood?
Yes, everyone has venous blood. Venous blood is the blood that flows through veins back to the heart after delivering oxygen to the body's tissues. It is one of the two main types of blood along with arterial blood.
What percentage of the blood is contained in the venous system?
Depending on body size (body surface area) and state of health, the human venous system contains approximately 67-72 percent of the entire blood volume.
The blood supply returns from the legs through the?
venous system, specifically the femoral veins and the popliteal vein. Blood then flows up through the inferior vena cava to the heart.
What is the functional nature of a portal system and how does it differ from normal venous return flow?
A portal system is a special type of blood circulation where blood from one capillary bed flows into a second capillary bed before returning to the heart. The hepatic portal system, for example, carries nutrient-rich blood from the digestive organs to the liver for processing. This differs from normal venous return flow where blood goes directly from capillaries to veins and then back to the heart.
Explain why arterial blood flow is pulsatile and venous flow is not?
Arterial blood flow is pulsatile due to the contraction of the heart, which produces pressure waves that cause the arteries to expand and contract rhythmically. In contrast, venous flow is more constant and steady because veins have one-way valves that prevent backflow and the pressure in the venous system is lower compared to the arteries.
What keep the blood moving through the venous system?
Skeletal muscle movement and valves in the veins.
What does the venous system do?
The venous system is responsible for returning deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart. It transports this blood through a network of veins, which have valves to prevent the backflow of blood. The venous system also plays a role in regulating blood volume and pressure in the body.
Is more blood found in the venous system than anywhere else in the cardiovascular system?
Yes, 65-70% of the blood volume is in the venous system.
What is the most important factor is helping blood return to the heart through the venous system?
Skeletal muscle pump
What is the difference between the blood in most veins and in most arteries?
The primary differences between venous blood and arterial blood are that arterial blood is oxygenated, under great pressure, and is moving from the heart, and that venous blood is deoxygenated, under low pressure, and is moving towards the heart.
What are components of the cardiovascular system?
blood vessel bloodstream heart liver lymph lymph gland lymph node vein vena venation venous blood system venous blood vessel
What keep the blood moving through the circulatory system?
The heart.
What is vein?
blood vessels which carry blood back to the heart from body regions.To understand vein disease, which is the primary cause of varicose veins, it's first important to understand the venous system of the human body. The venous system is the part of the circulatory system that returns deoxygenated blood through veins back to the heart to be recirculated. By contrast, the arterial system carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to be distributed throughout the body. The smallest parts of the venous system are the capillaries, which feed into larger superficial veins.
How does the muscular system benefit the blood?
keeps blood moving through the heart and vessels
Would blood travelling from the brain need to pass through the heart to get to the foot or does it flow straight there?
Blood travelling 'from' any organ is in the venous system and will pass through the heart to be oxygenated, then into the arterial system on the way 'to' any organ.
Channel through which venous blood flows?
vena cava
What type of blood vessel do you take blood pressure in?
Blood pressure is taken through an artery. Normal BP is highest in the artery side of the circulatory system and lower in the venous side.
