Pressure in the aorta is greatest during what?
Pressure in aorta is greatest during ventricular systole.
The greater the the pulse pressure the lower the pressure gradient driving blood from the aorta through the systemic circulation?
True
Is Blood pressure highest in the aorta and lowest in the capillaries?
superior vena cava
One example of a congenital heart defect is A. leukemia B. chronic high blood pressure C. an abnormally narrow aorta D. anemia?
An abnormally narrow aorta is a congenital heart defect (called coarctation of the aorta).
What is the pressure in the aorta against which the left ventricle must pump blood called?
Afterload
The prevents food or liquids from getting into the lungs.?
What prevents food from getting into the lungs is an Aorta.
What prevents food or liquids from getting into lungs?
What prevents food from getting into the lungs is an Aorta.
Pressure in the aorta is greatest during what?
Pressure in aorta is greatest during ventricular systole.
Where is blood pressure the highest?
Aorta
Does the aorta have the lowest blood pressure?
no!
What do the aortic valves do?
It prevents the blood already in the aorta from going back into the heart.
Why does blood pressure in aorta decrease further form heart?
As the blood moves through the aorta, the friction of the walls of the aorta decreases velocity. This velocity decrease results in a decrease in pressure.
What separates the aorta from the left ventricle that prevents blood from flowing back into the left ventricle?
The bicuspid valve is the valve that separates the left ventricle from the aorta.
Pressure in the aorta will be greatest during?
"systole"
The pressure difference between the base of the aorta and the right atrium is the?
circulatory pressure
Where is the blood under the most pressure?
Blood is under the most pressure in the aorta- the largest artery in the body originating fro the left ventricle of the heart.
Why is the aorta so thick-walled?
this is because, due to high thickness of left ventricle blood gets into the aorta with high pressure, and if the aortic wall is not thick, high blood pressure in aorta breaks open wall.
