What else can I help you with?
What kind of vessel has the lowest blood pressure?
veins
Blood pressure is lowest in the?
I learned in class that the longer the vessel the lower the blood pressure. So I would have to guess that the lowest blood pressure would be in the Greater Saphenous vein. Just to clarify, this is my guess. Actually its the vena cava.
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.
What blood vessel has the lowest velocity?
capillaries
What causes the transfer of materials between capillaries and tissue fluid?
As blood enters the capillary bed on the arteriole end, the blood pressure in the capillary vessel is greater than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid moves from the vessel to the body tissue.At the middle of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel equals the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid passes equally between the capillary vessel and the body tissue. Gasses, nutrients, and wastes are also exchanged at this point.On the venue end of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel is less than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid, carbon dioxide and wastes are drawn from the body tissue into the capillary vessel.
In which type of blood vessel is blood at its highest blood pressure?
Aorta has highest pressure. Pressure gradually decreases as blood moves towards heart.
What is the machanism of sphygmomanometer?
The sphygmomanometer works by putting pressure on a blood vessel and then measuring when the blood vessel starts to pump blood again after pressure is lessened. This device is also called a blood pressure monitor.
When happens when the diameter of the blood vessel decreases?
Blood pressure increases if the diameter of the blood vessel decreases.
What is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
No, systolic pressure is the highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels. Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels.
Where will blood be at the lowest pressure in someone who is standing upright?
If you mean, what is the lowest blood pressure, then the answer is around 60 in an average person. Blood pressure is relatively consistent through out the body, so the lowest pressure would be seen when the heart is resting (also know as diastolic blood pressure).
Will a broken blood vessel be caused by high blood pressure?
Yes
What blood vessel experiences the steepest drop in blood pressure?
arterioles
