What else can I help you with?
Where does the blood flow when it leaves the capillaries?
venuoles
From the capillaries blood flows into?
From the capillaries, blood will flow into the veins and pump the un-oxygenated blood back to the heart.
What are the special veins that carry oxygenated blood?
From the capillary bed, deoxygenated blood travels to the meta-venuoles to the venuoles to the veins, mostly by skeletal muscles acting as secondary pumps and valves preventing backflow. Deoxygenated blood enters the right side of the heart via the vena cava, into the right atria, right ventricle, and then to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries.
What is the structure of venuoles?
Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles found in plant and fungal cells. They are composed of a single membrane called the tonoplast, which encloses a fluid-filled sac containing water, ions, nutrients, and waste products. Vacuoles play a key role in maintaining cell turgor pressure, storing nutrients and waste, and regulating cell growth.
Why must a pressure difference exist between the aorta and the vena cavae?
Pressure must move from one area to another, otherwise no flow will occur. In the case of the human heart, pressure pushes blood from the aorta, through arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venuoles, and finally veins, to the vena cavae, where the blood goes back into the heart to be re-oxygenated.
Where does blood go when it leaves the left ventricle?
Aorta--> Arteries--> Arterioles--> Capillaries--> venuoles--> Veins--> Vena Cava--> right atrium--> right ventricle--> pulmonary arteries--> pulmonary veins--> left atrium--> back to left ventricle
The circuit that connects the heart and lungs?
Blood vessels. Arteries and arterioles direct oxygenated blood to the kidneys as well as your other major organs and musculature. Then veins and venuoles push deoxygenated blood back to your heart. Oxygenated Blood leaves your Left ventricle of your heart and enters the aorta which branches into three segments, I believe it is the subcostal descending aorta which feeds the kidnesys.
Are veins connected to the capillaries?
In order, your blood follows this general path as it is traveling from arteries to veins: 1. Conducting arteries (aorta) 2. Muscular arteries 3. Arterioles 4. Capillaries 5. Venules 6. Veins
What is infrared photo energy therapy?
Photo Energy Therapy devices emit near infrared light (NIR Therapy) typically at a wavelength of 880 nm. This wavelength is believed to stimulate the release of Nitric Oxide, an Endothelium-derived relaxing factor into the bloodstream, thus vasodilating the capilaries and venuoles in the microcirculatory system. This increase in circulation has been shown effective in various clinical studies to decrease pain in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. [5] Photo Energy Therapy devices seem to address the underlying problem of neuropathies, poor microcirculation, which leads to pain and numbness in the extremities[6], [7].http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_neuropathy#Other_treatments
What are all the parts a segment of blood would travel through to journey all the way to the lungs and back to the same part of the body?
I am going to do this entirely from memory so feel free to add and adjust but starting from the heart a drop of blood would be initially at the right atrium. It would proceed down the tricuspid valve or right atrioventricular valve (AV), into the right ventricle. from there it would travel up to the right semilunar valve into the pulmonary arteries. These arteries are carrying deoxygenated blood btw. from here it goes into the lungs where the capillaries will exchange CO2 and O2. the newly oxygenated blood will proceed to the pulmonary veins (i believe there are four), and wind up at the left atrium of the heart. Here it is pushed through the bicuspid, left AV valve, or mitral valve. why they give it three names is beyond me. it then enters the left ventricle and is pumped through the left semilunar valve. this leads it to the aorta where it can go 1 of three ways (to my belief...all i can recall are three ways...unless you are a fetus then its totally different). blood will go to the acending or decending aorta. which branches a lot into the brachiocephalic and carotid, or into the inguinal or femoral if it goes down the decending aorta. blood also needs to go back to nourish the heart so it can go the third way which is back into the coronary arteries. here it will branch into many parts, i dont remember them really but it ends up going back to the right atrium. after the blood goes to the arteries the generalized way back is that it goes to the arterioles then to the capillaries (this is where waste and oxygen/nutrient exchange occurs to keep the cells in homeostasis) then to the venuoles and to the veins. the veins are pretty much called the same as the arteries with few exceptions (jugular vein/carotid artery). from here the blood will go to a superior vena cava if coming from the upper extremity or the inferior vena cava if coming from the lower extremity. This leads back to the right atrium where we started. GOOD LUCK WITH A&P. Please feel free to correct me.
