What else can I help you with?
What would happen if the pulmonary artery was to be cut and bleed?
The pulmonary artery is the one which carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. It is the only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood. The blood is carried at a pressure, usually less than 30mmHg. So, if the pulmonary artery was to be cut and bleed, the person would die when blood volume fell below the minimum necessary. This wouldn't take long, either. Between actual blood loss, and the sudden decrease in pressure such an injury would cause death in approximately 2 minutes
What is the purpose if the coronary artery?
I think that you are talking about Coronary artery that supplies oxygenated blood to the walls of the heart.If it is blocked by the fat content there would be no supply of oxygenated blood and hence we experience heart strokes.
Why is a blot clot inside an artery so dangerous?
A blood clot inside an artery can block the flow of blood, partially or entirely, which that artery would normally carry. If the artery supplies the heart and it becomes blocked, the result is a heart attack. If it supplies the brain and it becomes blocked, the result is a stroke. Either can easily be fatal, and if not fatal, can still be very damaging. And then, even if the artery supplies some other part of the body, every part of the body needs a blood supply, and there is going to be a problem if the blood supply is cut off or reduced.
Damage to the semilunar valves on the left semilunar valve would interfere with blood flow to which vessel?
Damage to the left semilunar valve would interfere with blood flow to the aorta.
Trace a drop of blood from the skin of face to the right atrium?
Here we go! [First, the pulmonary circuit.] R atrium; R ventricle; pulmonary artery (L or R); arteriole; capillary adjacent to an alveolus of lung; venule; pulmonary vein [Now the blood returns to the heart for the systemic (body) circuit.] L atrium; L ventricle; aorta; R iliac artery; arteriole; capillary in a toe of the R foot; venule; R femoral vein; vena cava; back to the R atrium
What artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Arteries probably CAN carry deoxygenated blood if a person draws blood from a vein, then injects it into an artery. That would be very stupid though.
The largest artery of the blood?
That would be the Aorta.
What blood vessles would be strong and elastic?
The Artery
Renal artery - definition?
The medical term "renal" refers to the kidneys, so a renal artery would be an artery (a type of blood vessel which oxygenated blood travels through) that leads to the kidneys and supplies them with blood.
Which artery delivers blood to the kidney and would be an example of a muscular artery?
The renal artery supplies blood to the kidneys. All arteries are muscular since they contain a layer tunica muscularis.
What is the correct sequence of arteries that a drop of blood would flow through as it entered the kidney and moved toward a glomerulus?
Renal artery - segmental artery - interlobar artery - arcuate artery - interlobular artery
Which artery is used when taking a patient's blood pressure?
if your taking blood pressure in the anticubital area (crease of the elbow) then you would palpate the brachial artery.
Where would blood go when it leaves through pulmonary artery?
to the lungs
What blood vessel carries blood out of the heart?
that would be the aortic artery, or just aorta. (ay-or-tuh)
Where would blood go when it leaves through the pulmonary artery?
...to the lungs.
What would happen to the blood pressure in the pulmonary artery if more blood is drived to the lungs during exercise?
The pressure in the pulmonary artery increases during exercise if the cardiac output increases.
How can you trace a drop of blood from the pulmonary artery to the right radial artery?
Why would you want to do that. You would have to cut open the heart and watch the blood move from the pulmonary artery through the heart and into the right radial artery.
