What else can I help you with?
Does the aortic arch have a high or low concentration of oxygenated blood?
The Aortic Arch (Arcus Aorta) contains a high concentration of oxygenated hemoglobine, since it just came out of the left chamber of the heart which is still fresh from the pulmonairy circuit
What is polychythemia?
Polycythaemia is the high concentration of red blood cells in the blood. This is caused by the over-stimulation of red blood cell production or a relative increase in red blood cells in the circulating blood. The haematocrit value can be up to 60-80%, increasing the blood's viscosity. There will be extra load upon the heart and it may lead to heart hypertrophies.
Where in the human body is the blood concentration highest?
The blood concentration is highest in the arteries as they carry freshly oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's tissues and organs. The high blood pressure in arteries helps push blood through the circulatory system.
What type of blood is usually transported in arteries?
Oxygenated blood with a high concentration of oxygen is usually transported in arteries. This blood is pumped by the heart to various parts of the body for distribution to tissues and organs.
What causes more heart diseases heart rate or high blood pressure?
High blood pressure
Do Veins have high concentration in CO2?
Usually, but not necessarily. A vein is a blood vessel that is returning to the heart, so it usually has a higher concentration of CO2 than an artery. But in the case of the Pulmonary vein, it is returning to the heart from the lungs, so it has a higher concentration of oxygen than carbon dioxide.
How does the blood entering the heart from the lung differ from the blood entering the heart from the blood?
The blood entering from the lungs has a high oxygen content and the blood entering from the body is high in carbon dioxide.
How are the concentration of hdl and ldl associated with the risk of heart disease?
Very high levels of HDL and LDL lead to Heart diseases. If there are too many LDL molecules in your blood HDL will help get rid of it but over time it will build up in you blood decreasing the flow to your heart and brain. This leads to a heart attack or a stroke.

Why is blood at its highest pressure when it leaves the heart?
Because pressure is built up in the left ventricle of the heart before it is forced out through the aorta in order for blood to be forced around to the body efficiently to the cells where it is needed. Without this high pressure, blood would not be efficiently ejected to the body and it can pool in the ventricles, which can cause problems. This high pressure in the ventricle is also required in order for blood to travel around the body. This is because blood moves from an area of high pressure to low pressure to travel. This same principle is used for cells to gain oxygen and other necessities. For example, oxygen will diffuse from the capillaries (smallest blood vessels) which has a high concentration of oxygen into cells, which have a low concentration of oxygen. Hope this helps ! :)
Type of blood contains a high concentration of O2?
hypercapnia
What is Abnormally high concentration of glucose in the blood called?
Hyperglycemia
