What else can I help you with?
What the difference between the pulmonary arteries and other arteries in the body?
they carry deoxygenated blood
What is the name of the heart valve that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries?
tricuspid valve
Which of the pathway includes the heart lungs and the arteries and vein between them?
The pulmonary circuit.
What condition is indicated by the structural difference between systemic and pulmonary arteries?
Elatic recoil.
Structural differences between arteries and veins?
Pulmonary Arteries lead from the heart to the lungs. Systemic arteries go everywhere else. Consequently, the pulmonary arteries are usually slightly smaller and thinner. There is also less of them.
What is the valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery?
The pulmonary or pulmonic valve (a semilunar valve) controls blood flow from the right ventricle to the "pulmonary trunk" that branches into the two pulmonary arteries carrying blood to the lungs.
What is an abnormal opening between the pulmonary artery and the aorta?
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Valves found between the ventricle and blood vessels?
Well, between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries is an atrioventricular valve called the PULMONARY VALVE . Between the left ventricle and the aorta is an atrioventricular valve called the AORTIC VALVE
What is the difference between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?
The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs. The pulmonary vein carries blood to the heart from the lungs. Unlike all other veins and arteries in the body the pulmonary artery has de-oxygenated blood and the pulmonary vein has oxygenated blood.
Differentiate vains arteries and capilliaries?
Veins carry deoxygenated blood, arteries carry oxygenated blood, and capillaries are for gas exchange between tissues and blood. One exception to that is the pulmonary artery and pulmonary veins of the heart -- they are named backward. The pulmonary artery actually carries the deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, and the pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What is glassroth syndrome?
Glassroth syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the presence of multiple pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the lungs). This can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and an increased risk of stroke or brain abscess. Treatment typically involves embolization of the abnormal vessels to prevent complications.
What is the process by which blood moves between the heart and the lungs?
The process by which blood moves between the heart and the lungs is called pulmonary circulation. Deoxygenated blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood then returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins.
