What else can I help you with?
Arterial blood tends to be what while venous blood is what?
Arterial blood is under direct pressure from the heart and is oxygen rich, which venous blood is oxygen poor and is under low pressure.
What is the blood pressure within the right atrium called?
The blood pressure within the right atrium is called central venous pressure (CVP). It is a measure of the pressure in the large veins close to the heart and reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart.
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in venous blood is approximately?
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in venous blood is around 40 mmHg.
What is central venous pressure in medical terms?
The central venous pressure or right atrial pressure is the pressure of the blood in the thoracic vena cava near the right atrium. The pressure reflects the amount of blood that return to the heart and can be pumped back through the body.
What type of bleeding is easiest to control?
Venous blood flow is easiest to control. Arterial blood flow is hardest to control because it is under pressure from the heart.
What might an abnormal increase in venous pressure indicates?
these factors can increase central venous pressure: decreased cardiac output, increased blood volume, venous constriction,forced expiration, muscle contraction
What might an abnormal increase venous pressure indicate?
these factors can increase central venous pressure: decreased cardiac output, increased blood volume, venous constriction,forced expiration, muscle contraction
When you take a persons blood pressure it is a reflection of lymphatic pressure arterial pressure osmotic pressure or venous pressure?
arterial pressure
How does venous circulation help to maintain blood pressure when hemorrhaging causes blood loss?
carefully
What does the venous system do?
The venous system is responsible for returning deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart. It transports this blood through a network of veins, which have valves to prevent the backflow of blood. The venous system also plays a role in regulating blood volume and pressure in the body.
What is the difference between the blood in most veins and in most arteries?
The primary differences between venous blood and arterial blood are that arterial blood is oxygenated, under great pressure, and is moving from the heart, and that venous blood is deoxygenated, under low pressure, and is moving towards the heart.
Which is associated with aging increasing blood pressure weakening of venous valves arteriosclerosis or stenosis of the ductus arteriosus?
weakening of the venous valves
