What else can I help you with?
How would relaxing the smooth muscles in arteries affect blood pressure?
Blood pressure would decrease
What is the lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your- blood pressure?
The lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your diastolic blood pressure.
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.
Where is blood pressure is the greatest?
in the arteries
Blood pressure is higher in veins than arteries?
No, pressure is higher in the arteries.
Which blood vessels supply oxygenated systemic blood to the lung tissue?
Pulmonary arteries
What is the oxygenated blood enters each kidney through the?
Oxygenated blood enters the kidneys through the renal arteries. Blockage of these arteries can affect kidney function as well as blod pressure.
Why do arteries have thicker walls then veins?
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
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.
In an orbiting space station would the blood pressure in major arteries in the leg ever be greater than the blood pressure in major arteries in neck?
yes the blood pressure in major arteries in the leg is greater than the blood pressure in arteries in neck during orbiting in an orbiting space station.
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.
What generates blood pressure?
Blood pressure is generated by the force exerted by the heart pumping blood into the arteries and the resistance encountered by the blood flow in the arteries. The systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart contracts and pushes blood out, while the diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart relaxes and refills with blood.
