Do not fall for the trap placed be asking for three structures, which might lead you to include the trachea in place of the vena cava. The trachea bifrucates at the level of T4 where it enters the lungs, far above the thoracic diaphragm.
Compare and contrast the largest blood vessels found in the human body?
The largest blood vessels in the human body are the aorta and the vena cava. The aorta is the main artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body, while the vena cava comprises two large veins (superior and inferior) that return deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. Both vessels play critical roles in the circulatory system, but they transport blood in opposite directions and differ in structure; the aorta has thicker, more muscular walls to withstand high pressure, whereas the vena cava has thinner walls due to lower pressure.
What is cpt code 93978?
CPT 93978 is for Duplex scan of aorta, inferior vena cava, iliac vasculature, or bypass grafts; complete study. Log-in to supercoder.com for more details.
Why does Aorta have smaller diameter than Vena Cava?
The capillaries are so much smaller than the vena cavas and aorta because these large blood transportation systems are under a lot of pressure. For example, when blood is first emerging from the heart it is being pumped out with extreme amounts of pressure, if the aorta was as small as the capillaries, then it would burst under the pressure causing mass amounts of internal bleeding. On the flipside, the capillaries are farther away from the heart, here the pressure is not nearly as great as it is nearer to the heart, therefore the capillaries do not need to be big, they just need to be large enough to transport nutrients from the blood to the organs.
What are vessels in the heart?
One main blood vessel is the arteries. They carry blood away from the heart. The veins is another main blood vessel. They carry blood to your heart. There are also more blood vessels and I don't want you to forget that!!
What are the 4 parts of the aorta?

What has more muscle the aortic semilunar valve or the aorta?

What is para aortic prominent lymph node?
A paraaortic prominent lymph node is a lymph node more noticable than the others and found near the aorta.
What is the difference between cava and champagne?
Cava and Champagne are both sparkling wines, but they come from different regions and are made using different methods. Cava is from Spain and is typically made using the traditional method, while Champagne is from France and is made using the mthode champenoise. Champagne is usually more expensive and has a more complex flavor profile compared to Cava.
Who has more diameter aorta or pulmonary artery?
no
How does the aorta receive blood?
The aorta receives blood from the pumping action of the heart. More specifically, from the left ventricle.
Where can one learn more about the coarctation of the aorta?
The word coarctation means narrowing. Coarctation of the aorta is narrowing of the aorta to an abnormal width. Severe narrowing of the aorta may lead to deficient amounts of blood flowing to the lower heart of the body. It is a heart defect which babies are born with so it cannot be prevented. Symptoms are dizziness, shortness of breath, feeling faint and chest pain. Treatment includes angioplasty where a small balloon is threaded into the blocked artery, in this case the aorta, and the balloon is inflated to widen the lumen of the artery.
