What else can I help you with?
Lack of blood to a tissue fed by blocked arteries is called?
Ischemia. It occurs when the blood supply to a tissue is restricted or blocked, leading to a decrease in oxygen and nutrient delivery, which can result in tissue damage or cell death.
What is an area of tissue that becomes necrotic due to a lack of O2 called?
An area of tissue that becomes necrotic due to a lack of oxygen is called an infarct. This typically occurs when the blood supply to a specific area is blocked, leading to tissue death.
How can oxygen be starved to the cells?
Oxygen can be starved to cells due to poor blood circulation, which can be caused by conditions like heart disease, blocked blood vessels, or low blood pressure. This lack of oxygen can lead to tissue damage and cell death if not addressed promptly.
What transports blood to left lungs?
The pulmonary arteries. They are called arteries because they leave the heart but they are UNLIKE the other arteries because they have a lack of oxygen.
What does the epidermis lack?
blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and connective tissue
What cells has one free surface and lack blood vessels?
epithelial tissue
What does the epithelial tissue lack?
Epithelial tissue lacks blood vessels. Instead, it receives nutrients and oxygen through diffusion from nearby blood vessels in the underlying connective tissue.
What is the suffocating chest pain associated with coronary artery disease called?
It is called "angina" or more specifically "angina pectoris" (Latin a strangling of the chest). It is caused by the lack of oxygen to the heart muscles, the blood flow in the cardiac arteries being blocked, typically by atherosclerosis.
Why do arterioles lack elastic tissue layer?
because it does not need to widthstand the large amount of blood presssures
What happens when blood doesn't flow to an organ?
When blood flow is restricted or blocked to an organ, it can lead to tissue damage or organ failure due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. This can result in cell death and potentially life-threatening complications if not addressed promptly. Treatment often involves restoring blood flow through medications, procedures, or surgery.
What connective tissue contains fluid and lacks fibers?
The connective tissue that contains fluid and lacks fibers is called loose connective tissue. This tissue is found throughout the body and acts as a supportive framework for organs and blood vessels while allowing for movement and flexibility. Examples include areolar and adipose tissue.
How can the heart muscles be affected if the coronary artery is blocked?
If a coronary artery is blocked, the heart muscles will not get enough oxygen. This condition is known as ischemia. If the condition continues, the ischemia may lead to infarction, or death of tissue due to lack of oxygen.
