Which type of muscle constricts veins when blood pressure drops suddenly?
Smooth muscles constrict veins when blood pressure suddenly drops. These types of muscles are the non striated, involuntary muscles found in blood vessels, veins, arteries, the uterus, the bladder, and reproductive tracts.
What drops off its load of oxygen?
A red blood cell drops off its load of oxygen at tissues in the body during the process of gas exchange. Oxygen is transported by red blood cells bound to hemoglobin and released when needed by the body's cells.
How does blood travel to the muscle?
Blood moves from the heart. The heart is a pump and it moves the blood to the lungs where it picks up oxygen. The blood carries oxygen by way of large arteries into smaller arteries, into even smaller arterioles, into capillary beds. At this point oxygen is lost into tissues (like muscles). The blood is now low on oxygen and must pick up more in the lungs. It also has to deliver carbon dioxide to the lungs. Back to the capillary bed, into very small venules and then larger veins and larger veins and even larger veins to the heart. Blood moves into the lungs and drops off carbon dioxide and picks up another load of oxygen and back down and around again. The Circulatory System with the heart as a pump.
You burst a blood vessel in your ear what should you do?
I would suggest you go see a doctor. I went to see a doctor and that is what happened to me. It might not be a blood vessel that burst. It may be a perforated ear drum. Either way, the doctor will suscribe you to ear drops and it will heal within 1-2 weeks.
When there is increased resistance then arteriolar constriction and pressure drops?
Resistance changes dramatically with changes in diameter of blood vessels (arterioles are one type of blood vessel). If you INCREASE the diameter of the arteriole, you DECREASE the resistance and thus DECREASE the blood pressure.
Blood vessel poped in eye eye is very bright red Not able to get up properly due to head pain What should I do?
get eye drops. (the rose water)
Where does blood drop off oxygen and pick up carbon dioxide?
Blood drops off oxygen and picks up carbon dioxide in the capillaries of tissues throughout the body. Oxygen is released from the red blood cells and diffuses into the tissues, while carbon dioxide produced by the cells enters the blood to be transported back to the lungs for removal.
Does blood come from the heart have a high or a low level of oxygen?
All blood coming from the heart travels through arteries but not all have high levels of oxygen.The blood that goes to the body is high in oxygen but the blood that goes to the lungs is low in oxygen.There it drops of carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen and carries this back to the heart to be pumped out to the body.
Do the red blood cells pick up oxygen in the lungs?
Yes, red blood cells pick up oxygen in the lungs through a process called oxygenation. Oxygen binds to hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells, and is then carried to tissues throughout the body for cellular respiration.
When you urinate there is drops of blood afterwards and a weird feeling?
Just drops of blood no weird feeling
Is hemorrhage the term for low blood pressure?
No. An hemorrhage is an escape of blood from a ruptured blood vessel (it can be a wound or a bruise, or something really nasty that is internal hemorrhage). Hypotension is the term for low blood pressure.
What causes resting heart rates to increase?
Taking the two formulas: Cardiac Output = Heart rate x Stroke Volume Blood Pressure = Cardiac Output x Peripheral Resistance When Blood pressure drops, either cardiac output (Heart rate or Stroke Volume) has to increase, or peripheral resistance (Aterioles Vasconstriction) has to increase. When Blood pressure drops, this is detected by baroreceptors in the carotid bodies and arch of the aorta, these send signals to the cardio vascular centre within the Medulla, which sends signals back to the heart to increase the heart rate and force of contraction. The medulla also sends signals to arterioles to constrict and therefore raise blood pressure. Hope this helps Colin
