Why do most tissues have a greater supply of capillaries than veins and arteries?
Capillaries service cells, arteries and veins transport blood to and from capillaries, respectively.
Are veins and arteries an organ of the heart?
No. The heart is one organ in itself. Veins and arteries are just vessels that transport blood to and from the heart. To be specific, the veins transport the blood towards the heart, and arteries transport it away.
What are the five types of blood vessels describing the structure and the function?
Arteries - Transport blood away from the heart Veins - Transport blood to the heart Capillaries - Transport blood to and away from cells
How does the direction blood travels in arteries and veins differ?
the blood in the arteries in oxygenated and is flowing away from the heart throughout the body tyo give your cells oxygen. the blood in the veins has had its oxygen depleted by your cells and is travelling back to the heart and lungs to get more oxygen
What blood vessels transport?
Blood is transported in arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries are the vessels that take blood from the heart. Veins are the vessels that take blood back to the heart, and capillaries are the tiny vessels that attach the arteries and veins. Transport of oxygen and nutrients occurs on the capillary level.
Do arteries transport carbon dioxide in the cells?
Arteries don't always carry blood that is high in oxygen. The term artery is an anatomical term. All blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are arteries. All blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart are veins. Most arteries do carry blood that's high in oxygen but there is an exception. When the arteries carry blood to the lungs, this blood is low in oxygen. The veins that carry the blood back to the heart from the lungs is high in oxygen. This is called the pulmonary circuit. In this more or less seems backwards. It's best to remember that arteries carry blood away from the heart.
Where in the body are veins and arteries?
Veins and arteries are found throughout the body. Veins transport "used" or de-oxygenated blood back to the heart whereas arteries deliver oxygenated blood throughout the body.
Does the brain have blood cells?
The brain has veins, capillaries, and arteries which contain blood cells.
The 3 kind of blood vessels?
Arteries, capillaries, and veins. Arteries take blood away from the heart. Veins return blood to the heart. Capillaries are between the arteries and veins and supply the cells with oxygen and nutrients.
What are vessles that carry oxygenated blood to all cells in the body?
The vessels that carry oxygenated blood to all cells in the body are called arteries. Arteries are muscular blood vessels that transport oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.
Why are veins more numerous than arteries?
Veins have ability to store blood but arteries not so they are more some for blood storage and some for blood transport to right arteria.
What are the different types of blood vessels and cells?
Answer: the three types of blood vessels are the arteries, veins, and capillaries. *Arteries are the vessels that carry blood away from your heart to the different parts of your body *Veins carries non-oxygenated blood to the heart *Capillary tubes with very thin walls which join arteries to veins
