A blood clot in an artery obstructs blood flow, preventing oxygen and essential nutrients from reaching the tissues. Cells rely on oxygen for aerobic respiration, which is crucial for energy production. When oxygen supply is compromised, cells may switch to anaerobic respiration, leading to a buildup of lactic acid and decreased ATP production, ultimately impairing cellular function and vitality. This lack of oxygen can also cause cell death if the blockage persists.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a blood clot in the coronary artery prevent cells respiring normally?
Why a blood clot is the coronary artery stops the red blood cells from respiring normally
How oxygen is passed from a red blood cell to an actively respiring muscle?
The oxygen passes through a bloodvessel called artery to an actively respiring muscle cell.
What artery is blood pressure normally taken from?
radial
Into what chamber does the pulmonic valve prevent backflow of blood?
The pulmonic valve prevents backflow of blood into the right ventricle.
Which valve is responsible for preventing the back flow of blood into the right ventricle?
The pulmonary semilunar valve, also called the pulmonic valve, prevents blood that was ejected out of the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery from flowing back into the right ventricle.
What is the purpose of the Pulmonary valve?
The pulmonary valve is the tricuspid valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. It prevents blood from flowing down the artery back into the right ventricle.
What is the function of the pulmonary semilunar valve?
Prevents backflow of blood from the pulmonary trunk (artery) into the right ventricle
What causes a psuedoaneurysm?
A pseudoaneurysm can form after an artery or heart chamber is injured causing blood to leak and pool outside the artery's wall.In a true aneurysms artery or vessel is enlarged,but the enlargement doesn't result from an injury and blood flows normally through the aneurysm.
What is the artery that is used when measuring blood pressure?
Arteries are generally deep within our bodies which makes them hard to feel. However the Branchial Artery is close to the surface of the skin and is easily felt by hand. Also behind the Branchial Artery there is a firm muscle that allows us to press the artery against it and get an accurate measurement.
What blood vessel normally transport blood that is low in oxygen?
Low oxygen/de-oxygenated blood is carried by:all the veins (except the pulmonary vein)the pulmonary artery.
What type of blood does the artery carries?
artery carry pure blood but pulmanary artery carry improve blood to lungs from heart
Where is the renal artery located?
The renal arteries normally arise off the side of the abdominal aorta, immediately below the superior mesenteric artery, and supply the kidneys with blood.
