Arterioles flow into what blood vessel?

Capillaries


A vessel that carries blood from capillaries to a vein?

The capillaries flow from an artery to a vein.


Do capillaries have valves to regulate blood flow?

Capillaries do not have valves to regulate blood flow. Veins are the vessel of the circulatory system that have veins to regulate blood flow.


Which type of blood vessel is most important in regulating vascular resistance?

Arterioles are the most important type of blood vessel in regulating vascular resistance. They are able to constrict or dilate, controlling the flow of blood to various tissues and organs, therefore playing a critical role in regulating blood pressure and overall blood flow in the body.


What blood vessel allows a forceful flow of blood?

the answer can be veins or ateries or venules or capillaries... sorry i really do not know the answer... hehehe... :)

What are Blood capillaries surrounded by?

Blood capillaries are surrounded by a layer called the basement membrane, which provides structural support and acts as a barrier between the capillaries and surrounding tissues. Pericytes, contractile cells that regulate blood flow and vessel stability, may also be found surrounding blood capillaries.


What nerve fibers are most important in regulating blood flow?

Sympathetic nerve fibers are the most important in regulating blood flow, as they can cause vasoconstriction or vasodilation in blood vessels. These fibers release norepinephrine which can act on smooth muscle cells in the blood vessel walls to control blood flow throughout the body.


What is the relationship between cross sectional area of blood vessel and velocity of blood flow in that vessel?

Proceeding downstream from the aorta, branching of arterial vessels increases total cross-sectional area and thus results in diminished velocity of blood flow from the aorta to the capillaries. Velocity increases from the capillaries to the large veins with the confluence of vessels and the resulting decrease in total cross-sectional area. :)


Why does blood move faster through your capillaries?

Blood does not move faster through the capillaries. Blood flow is slowest in the capillaries.


Resistance to blood flow depends mainly on?

Resistance to blood flow depends mainly on the diameter of blood vessels and the viscosity of blood. Smaller vessel diameter and higher blood viscosity lead to increased resistance, which can affect blood pressure and flow rates.


What is faster blood flow in the center of a large vessel or blood flow along the walls of a blood vessel?

Blood flow in the center of a large vessel is faster because the walls of the blood vessel may have a buildup of cholesterol on them.
