The Base
large vessels on top of the heart are the veins.
The wide superior part of the heart is known as the base. It is located at the top of the heart and is where the major blood vessels enter and exit. The base connects to the great vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary arteries, and pulmonary veins.
veins are large, thin-walled blood vessels that carry blood to the heart!!!!
The wide superior part of the heart is called the base of the heart.
the aorta which is located on top of the heart.
The main vessels that drain blood from the lower leg are the popliteal vein, which originates behind the knee, and the tibial veins, which run alongside the tibia bone in the lower leg. These veins eventually merge into larger vessels and return blood to the heart.
The two blood vessels that connect to the right atrium are the superiorvena cava (from the top half of the body) and the inferior vena cava (from the lower half of the body). They are both veins carrying unoxygenated blood back to the heart and subsequently, the lungs, to be oxygenated.
This is called blood pressure. It is measured using a sphygmomanometer and is expressed in a fraction format. For example, a normal BP is considered to be 120/80. The top number is the systolic pressure, which is the pressure exerted on the blood vessels during a heart beat. The lower number, diastolic pressure, is the pressure when the heart is at rest. The difference between these numbers (40) is the pulse pressure. This is the pressure your heart is actually creating, or how hard it is working.
Not exactly, they are the upper chambers of the heart, but inside, not "on top of".
The top speed for the Olympic-Class vessels was probably about 23 knots.
The vessels that bring blood back to the heart are called the veins.The vessel that brings blood back to the heart is the vein. The major blood vessels include the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, the pulmonary artery and the pulmonary veins.---- == == VeinBlue blood...veins are the blood vessels that carry the oxygen-poor or blue blood from the body towards the heart.
