What else can I help you with?
What happens in Vasculitis?
Vasculitis occurs when the body's immune system accidentally misidentifies markers on the blood vessel walls as foreign
When happens when the diameter of the blood vessel decreases?
Blood pressure increases if the diameter of the blood vessel decreases.
When Clotting in an unbroken blood vessel happens what is it called?
Clotting in an unbroken blood vessel is known as thrombosis. This occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) forms within a blood vessel, potentially obstructing blood flow. Thrombosis can lead to serious complications, such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, depending on the location of the clot. It can be triggered by factors like injury to the vessel wall, slow blood flow, or abnormalities in blood composition.
What happens if a blood vessel in the coronary blood supply blocks?
If the blood vessel is blocked , it then leads to a serious problem like a heart attack.
Clotting begins when a what occurs in a blood vessel wall?
break
A stroke occurs in the?
Heart, neck, or brain. It can also be a blood vessel
What happens if a blood vessel breaks or pops?
When a blood vessel breaks or pops, it can lead to bleeding, which may occur internally or externally depending on the location of the vessel. This can result in bruising, swelling, or more serious conditions like hemorrhage if significant blood loss occurs. The body typically responds by forming a clot to seal the break and prevent further bleeding. However, the severity of the situation often depends on the size of the vessel and the amount of blood lost.
What stroke is damage that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures?
Hemorrhagic stroke.
What is a fat embolism?
A fat embolism is when fat enters the bloodstream and blocks a blood vessel causing loss of blood flow to an area of the body. This can lead to a stroke if it occurs in the carotid arteries or a heart attack if it happens in the coronary arteries.
What happens to a blood vessel when it is cut and then stitched closed?
it might have internal bleeding
What is vessel bifurcation?
A bifurcation of a blood vessel occurs where the main stem of the vessel divides to become two smaller vessels that go in opposite directions; like the branch of a tree.
What factors influences resistance to blood flow in the arteries?
resistance occurs as the blood flows away from heart through the vessels in the peripheral systemic circulation a term known as peripheral resistance. Viscosity of the blood (thickness) ,vessel length (distance) and vessel diameter (blood vessel radius) are three factors
