Alternate route of blood flow to a body part through an anatomises is called what?
An alternate route of blood flow to a body part through an anastomosis is called collateral circulation. This occurs when there are multiple pathways for blood to reach a particular area, allowing for continued blood supply even if one route is obstructed. Collateral circulation is important for maintaining tissue health and function in cases of injury or blockage in the primary vessels.

How do kidneys filter blood?
The kidneys filter blood through structures called nephrons, which are the functional units of the kidney. Blood enters the nephrons through tiny blood vessels called glomeruli, where waste products and excess substances are filtered out into the urine. The filtered blood then leaves the nephron and is returned to circulation.
What is the path called that blood travels through?
The path that blood travels through is called the circulatory system. It includes the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and blood, which is pumped by the heart to deliver nutrients and oxygen to cells throughout the body and remove waste products.
After blood leaves the heart through what kinds of vessels in what order does blood move?
larger blood vessels called veins which carry the blood back to the heart
When white blood cells squeeze through the endothelial cells to a damage site the process is called?
It is called leukocyte extravasation - as in Leukocyte (white blood cell) extra- (outside) -vas- (vascular) -ation
What is the Process by which white blood cells actually pass through the vessel wall into surrounding tissue?
White blood cells pass through the vessel wall into surrounding tissue through a process called diapedesis. During diapedesis, the white blood cell first attaches to the endothelial cells lining the blood vessel. It then squeezes through these cells to reach the surrounding tissue where it can carry out its immune functions.
What develops to take blood through an alternate route?
Collateral vessels can enlarge and grow to provide alternate routes for blood flow. This process is often seen to occur after a blockage occurs in the heart.
How does the ductus arteriosus affect the path of blood through the fetal heart?
It is an alternate way for the blood to flow during fetus development. The alternate blood flow before birth is necessary because the fetal lungs are not yet functioning.
What is the flow of blood through your heart and around your body called?
Circulation of the blood
What are the names of the blood vessels that the blood is pumped through?
the names are called vein or your blood vessels
What provide an alternate pathway for blood to get to an organ?
anastomoses
What is it called when a white blood cell squeezes through a blood vessel to attack infections?
The movement of the WBC through a capillary is called diapedesis. In very general terms it is also called extravasation
How do kidneys filter blood?
The kidneys filter blood through structures called nephrons, which are the functional units of the kidney. Blood enters the nephrons through tiny blood vessels called glomeruli, where waste products and excess substances are filtered out into the urine. The filtered blood then leaves the nephron and is returned to circulation.
