What is the a-v O2 difference is?
The amount of oxygen taken up by the tissues in a muscle. It is the difference between oxygen concentration in the arteries and the oxygen concentration in the veins.ie. if your blood carries 20ml of oxygen per 100ml of blood and the muscle takes up 6mls of oxygen, 14mls of oxygen leaves the muscles into the veins.therefore, VO2-diff = 20ml-6ml = 14ml.
What part of the arterial wall contains smooth muscle?
Tunica media
What Carrier Proteins Transport Glucose Into A Muscle Cell?
Glucose transport into muscle cells is primarily facilitated by the glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) carrier protein. This transporter is insulin-responsive and plays a crucial role in regulating glucose uptake by muscle cells to meet energy demands during exercise and recovery.
What is the difference between a strong muscle contraction and a weak muscle contraction?
one would be the amount of contractile strength that results from a muscle contraction.
Compare the strength of arterial walls and capillary walls?
arterial walls has smooth muscle and elastic fibers (strong and flexible) and capillaries are made up of a single layer of endothelial cells (thin).
How do venous pressures compare to arterial pressures?
Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries. Veins are not exposed to such force and get their pressure via muscle pumps.Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries. Veins are not exposed to such force and get their pressure via muscle pumps.
Does anastomoses among coronary arterial branches provide collateral routes for blood delivery to the heart muscle?
Yes, anastomoses among coronary arterial branches can provide collateral routes for blood delivery to the heart muscle. If one branch becomes blocked, blood can flow through these connections to ensure the heart muscle still receives adequate blood supply.
What is the stretching of the arterial walls called?
The stretching of the arterial walls is called arterial dilation or vasodilation. This process occurs when the smooth muscle in the arterial walls relaxes, allowing the blood vessels to widen and increase blood flow. It is a crucial mechanism for regulating blood pressure and ensuring adequate perfusion to various tissues in the body. Factors such as increased blood flow, hormonal signals, and certain medications can trigger arterial dilation.
Whats the difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy?
The difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy is that muscle hypertrophy is the increase in size of skeletal muscle while muscle mass is the weight of your body muscle.
What layer of an artery consists mostly of smooth muscle?
Arterial walls are more muscular than the walls of veins. This muscle is smooth involuntary muscle.
What is the difference between the contracted muscle and a relaxed muscle?
contracted muscle and relaxed muscle whats are the difference? contracted muscle means its very very contracted and relaxed muscle means its very very relaxed
What is the difference in training for lean muscle and dense muscle?
Lean muscle is dense.
