The most affected organ is the heart (organ) itself. The cause of a heart attack is when the arteries that feed the heart are blocked either by a clot or build-up of plaque. When the heart does not get enough blood, and therefore not enough oxygen, it sends out pain or distress signals- stabbing, crushing, or clenching chest pain, Back pain, jaw or left arm pain, or pressure. The location of the pain is different for each individual and can vary depending on the location of the blocked artery. If the heart is deprived of enough oxygen for a long enough period of time, the heart muscle starts to die. Each cardiac artery feeds a certain area of the heart. So, depending on which artery is blocked, the heart attack can be more or less catastrophic depending on which area of the heart is damaged.

What is an umbilical cord vital for the gestation of the young?
The umbilical cord contains the blood vessels that carry oxygenated and nutrient-rich food from the placenta to the fetus, and blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood and nutrient-rich blood from the fetus to the placenta.
What is the umbilical cord vital for the gestation of the young?

What carries fetal blood to the placenta?
The umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta for nutrient and oxygen exchange.
What carries oxygen and nutrient rich blood?
it depends where about you mean; the pulmonary veins, coming from the lungs, firstly pass just-oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. after that the arteries (like the aorta) pass the highly oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to the body parts. (this is most likely the answer you are looking for) when the organs have taken all the oxygen out of the blood and replaced it with deoxygenated blood. the deoxygenated blood moves back to the right side of the heart where it is pumped back to the lungs for reoxygenation!
What direction does the arteries flow?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to various tissues and organs throughout the body, except for the pulmonary arteries, which transport deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. They typically branch out into smaller arterioles and capillaries, facilitating nutrient and gas exchange at the cellular level. The flow direction is always away from the heart, ensuring that oxygen-rich blood reaches all parts of the body.
What is the function of the splenic artery?
To supply nutrient rich and oxygenated blood to the spleen.
What arteries feed the heart mscle?
The coronary artery supplies heart muscle with oxygenated and nutrient filled blood
What nutrient is least likely to be affected when overcooking?
minerals
What Blood vessels are examples of this level or organization?
Blood vessels can be categorized into three main types based on their organization: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart under high pressure, while veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart at lower pressure. Capillaries, the smallest blood vessels, facilitate the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste products between blood and tissues. This hierarchical organization ensures efficient circulation and nutrient delivery throughout the body.
What vessels is responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells?
The capillaries are responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells. These tiny blood vessels have thin walls that allow for the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients between the blood and the surrounding tissues.
When a deficiency exists for one nutrient will other levels be affected?
si
Gas and nutrient exchange occur in the?
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs, where oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out. Nutrient exchange occurs in the small intestine, where nutrients from digested food are absorbed into the bloodstream to be transported to cells throughout the body.
