What else can I help you with?
What do you call the expansion and contraction of the arterial walls that can be felt in all the arteries near the surface of the skin?
The expansion and contraction of the arterial walls is the pulse.
Strength of arterial and capillary walls?
The arterial and capillary walls are incredibly strong. This is true otherwise you would be bleeding just by tapping yourself.
Plaque on the arterial walls is characteristic of?
atherosclerosis.
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).
What is the stretching of artery walls?
An Aneurism.
Beat of the heart as felt through the arterial walls?
Pulse
What are the Arterial walls?
it's chinese wall? look at china
The force exerted against the arterial walls when the heart contracts called the?
The force exerted against the arterial walls when the heart contracts is called blood pressure. It is typically represented by two numbers: systolic pressure (when the heart is contracting) and diastolic pressure (when the heart is relaxed). This pressure is essential for moving blood throughout the body.
What is a fatty deposit in an arterial wall called?
Such deposits are called atheromas. They mainly consist of calcified fat (cholesterol and fatty acids) and tissue. The build up of atheromas within the arterial walls is a sign of artheriosclerosis, a cardiovascular disease that causes the stiffening of arteries.
Why do people with diabetes have poor circulation?
Because the arterial walls begin to harden and plaque formation increases within the walls of the arteries.
What is an arteritis?
An arteritis is an inflammation of arterial walls, often due to infection or an autoimmune response.
What is a condition called when the walls of the arteries thin?
The condition where the walls of the arteries thin is known as arterial aneurysm. This occurs when the artery wall weakens and bulges, which can lead to serious complications if it ruptures. Factors contributing to this condition include high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and genetic predispositions. Regular monitoring and medical intervention are essential for managing the risk associated with arterial aneurysms.
