Does high blood pressure affect the veins?
Veins don't carry blood at high pressure arteries carry blood at high pressure. Arteries have a thick, elastic muscle layer that can handle high pressure of the blood flowing through them.
Do Arteries carry blood under high or low?
Arteries carry blood under high pressure. Blood is pumped by the heart into the arteries, which deliver oxygenated blood to tissues throughout the body. The thick, muscular walls of arteries help withstand the pressure of blood being pumped from the heart.
Do veins carry blood at the same pressure as arteries?
No, veins carry blood at a lower pressure than arteries. Blood in arteries is propelled by heart contractions. Venous blood is propelled only by body movement and gravity.
What blood vessel carries blood at high pressure and why?
Arteries carry blood at high pressure, simply because they are linked directly to the heart and lungs.
What is mean artery?
the pressure of the circulating blood on the arteries; "arterial pressure is the product of cardiac output and vascular resistance"
Do arteries have low pressure?
No, arteries have high pressure as they carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
Choosing the Right Blood Pressure Monitor?
ients who have been diagnosed with hypertension or high blood pressure, or who are starting to show signs of these two health problems, may be told by their doctor to purchase and use a home blood pressure monitor. By taking your blood pressure at home, you can have much more frequent and regular readings. You can also monitor the changes in blood pressure taking certain medications or even eating certain foods is causing in your body. If you are considering the purchase of a home blood pressure monitor, there are a few things to consider. The most inexpensive blood pressure monitors are the traditional aneroid kind. But although they are lightweight and very portable, taking accurate readings can be difficult. You must listen and count your heart beats, and record the blood pressure numbers shown at specific counts. If you have hearing trouble or a weak pulse, this may be too difficult for regular use. If you are committed to using an aneroid monitor, ask your doctor or nurse practitioner to demonstrate the best way to use it. There are a wide range of electronic blood pressure monitors available, ranging in cost from $35 to $300. Features and ease of use also range within these products. If you arthritis or an injury to your elbow and find the traditional upper arm cuffs uncomfortable, it’s possible to find electronic monitors with wrist cuffs. Many of these monitors also feature record keeping, either in the machine itself or in your home computer through a simple USB cord. This allows you to keep an accurate and detailed record of your blood pressure, heart rate, and the time and date for many months. If you’re looking for a portable model, there are a variety that offer battery use instead of requiring a power cord and outlet. These are great for taking on vacation or a trip to visit family, and are even easy to carry in to a doctor’s appointment so you can check the accuracy and share your records. No matter what you need a blood pressure monitor for, with the right amount of consideration you can find one that fits your health needs and your lifestyle.

Why it is difficult to clot the blood in wounded artery than in vein?
Simply put, arteries carry more pressure than veins do. The more pressure they carry, the faster the blood moves, the less chance for a clot.
Do arteries carry blood to the heart and veins carry blood from the heart?
No. Arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the organs, and veins carry blood back to the heart. All arteries have high pressure from being pumped by the heart so recently, and all veins have low pressure from travelling round the body for so long. Most arteries carry oxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary artery, which goes to the lungs to pick up more oxygen) and most veins carry deoxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary vein, which has lots of oxygen from the lungs).
Does the blood enter either arteries capillaries or veins at high pressure?
arteries, as the arteries take blood away from the heart, and to carry the blood all the way around the body the blood needs to be travelling at a high pressure.
What does blood pH have to do with blood pressure?
everything. Heart races to carry blood around to put off low pH "fires" around the body.
