What is the difference between venodilators and vasodilators?
a vasodilator causes dilation of the blood vessels; a venodilator is a vasodilator that causes dilation of veins
How are the three types of circulation similar and how are they different?
The three types of circulation—systemic, pulmonary, and coronary—are similar in that they all involve the movement of blood through the heart and blood vessels to supply oxygen and nutrients to tissues. However, they differ in their specific functions and pathways: systemic circulation transports oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body, pulmonary circulation carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, and coronary circulation supplies blood directly to the heart muscle itself. Each type plays a crucial role in maintaining overall cardiovascular health and ensuring efficient oxygen delivery.
What is pulmonary circulation and what is its funcutions?
Pulmonary circulation is another phrase for the circulatory system, the system that pushes blood from the heart through blod vessels to the rest of the body. Oxygen, hormones, and nutrients are moved witht the blood throughout the body.
What is the difference between perfuse and profuse?
Perfuse means to force fluid through (could be through tissue or organ) by way of blood vessels. Profuse means plentiful or abundant.
What do you call a group of organs that work together to perform a major function?
It is called an 'organ system'. For example the circulatory system (comprising of the heart, blood vessels and blood) functions to transport blood and oxygen from the lungs to various tissues in the body
Which blood vessels does it pass through when it leaves the heart?
Systemic via the aorta - pulmonary via the pulmonary artery.
Blood vessels in the cardiovascular system are subdivided into the?
systemic and pulmonary circuits
Which blood vessels supply oxygenated systemic blood to the lung tissue?
Pulmonary arteries
The blood vessels to the lungs and back are collectively known as the?
This is called the pulmonary circuit. In and out to the body is called the systemic circuit.
What vessels carry blood to lungs.?
The pulmonary artery is the primary vessel that carries blood to the lungs. Unlike the systemic circulation, the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood.
What are two components of the cardiovascular system?
The cardiovascular system is generally divided into the heart and the blood vessels. However, another division could be between the pulmonary circulation and the systemic circulation.
What is the difference between localized and systemic scleroderma?
The type known as localized scleroderma mainly affects the skin. Systemic scleroderma, which is also called systemic sclerosis, affects the smaller blood vessels and internal organs of the body.
What set of blood vessels carry blood from the heart to all parts of the body except the lungs and back to the heart?
Systemic blood vessels. The ones that carry blood only to the lungs are called pulmonary vessels
What is thThe circulatory route that runs from the heart to the lungs?
The blood vessels in the pulmonary circulation carry the blood through the lungs to pick up oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide, while the blood vessels in the systemic circulation carry the blood throughout the rest of our body.
Valves between the ventricles and blood vessels?
Pulmonary Semilunar Valve between R. Ventricle and Pulmonary Trunk. Aortic Valve between L. Ventricle and Ascending Aorta.
What important vessels enter or exit the lung at its hilum?
the pulmonary artery, pulmonary veins, bronchial vessels and lymphatic vessels
What are the differences between the aorta and the pulmonary vein?
The aorta and the pulmonary vein are both major blood vessels in the circulatory system, but they serve different functions. The aorta is the largest artery, carrying oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body. In contrast, the pulmonary vein transports oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Additionally, the aorta is part of the systemic circulation, while the pulmonary vein is part of the pulmonary circulation.
