What is a stent in your neck mean?
A stent is a little stiff sleeve placed inside a blood vessel to keep the blood vessel open so the blood can flow freely through it.
Is there any diffference between the bloodpressure in the major arteries of neck and the legs in the space?
Yes, there is a difference in blood pressure between the major arteries of the neck and the legs. Blood pressure is normally higher in the major arteries of the neck (such as the carotid arteries) compared to those in the legs (such as the femoral arteries) due to differences in distance from the heart and the resistance of blood vessels in those areas.
Is there any connection between arthritis in the neck area and headaches?
I'd be surprised if there wasn't! The blood flow to the brain all goes through the neck. Issues with the neck can lead to headaches and lots of other symptoms.
Are blood cells in your neck?
Blood cells themselves are not located in specific areas like the neck; rather, they circulate throughout your body within the bloodstream. However, blood vessels, including arteries and veins, run through the neck, transporting these cells to and from the head and upper body. The neck also contains important structures, such as the jugular veins and carotid arteries, which are vital for blood flow.
What are abnormal results of a Doppler ultrasonography?
Disrupted or obstructed blood flow through the neck arteries may indicate the person is a risk of having a stroke. (Narrowed arterial flow in the legs does not necessarily indicate a risk of stroke.)
What is the type of turbulent flow of blood that can be heard in the neck?
Atherosclerosis can cause turbulent blood flow in the carotid arteries, which can be heard as a bruit in the neck. This sound is caused by the narrowing of the artery due to plaque buildup, leading to disrupted blood flow. It is important to monitor and manage atherosclerosis to prevent complications such as stroke.
Can a neck chop knock you out?
Yes, a neck chop can potentially knock someone out by causing a sudden impact to the neck that disrupts blood flow or nerve function.
Why is it important that the horse has a large heart?
Consider the structure of the horse - four limbs, an extended spine to produce a tail, a neck that raises and lowers. Not only must the blood reach down the legs, it must also be forced, by the mass flow of blood, back up the legs, as well as up and down the neck to the brain, and all the way along the spine to the dock. To provide blood to all these places at rest and at exercise, the heart must be very strong and be large enough to pump a sufficient volume of blood.
How does blood flow through the veins if someone is paralyzed?
It depends on where the damage occurs (if you break your neck then you will die) because some of the nerves dealing with circulation are cranial nerves.
What is stronger your legs or your neck?
Your legs are much stronger than neck. But your neck is much more important than your legs. You can handle the fracture of leg better than fractures at neck.
Would an obstruction in the superior vena cava decrease the flow of blood from the head and neck to the heart?
Yes, an obstruction in the superior vena cava would impede the flow of blood from the head and neck to the heart, leading to conditions like increased pressure in the veins and decreased blood return to the heart. This can result in symptoms such as facial swelling, neck vein distention, and difficulty breathing.
Which Nerve cells monitor the flow of blood and transfer this information to the brain?
These are the baroreceptor cells present in Neck.
