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.
What else can I help you with?
Can muscle cells release glucose to the blood?
No, muscle cells do not release glucose into the blood. Instead, they take up glucose from the blood to use as fuel for energy production during muscle contraction. Glucose release into the blood is primarily regulated by the liver through a process called gluconeogenesis.
What substances does the blood transport towards a muscle cell and in what parts of the blood is each of these carried?
hemoglobin
What type of muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and in the walls of blood vessels?
multiunit smooth muscle are found in those areas and a few more.
What type of muscle tissue causes vasoconstriction?
Smooth muscle tissue causes vasoconstriction. This type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of blood vessels and is responsible for regulating blood flow by constricting and dilating the vessels.
Does muscle tissue produce red blood cells?
No, muscle tissue doesn't produce any blood cells.
What is the muscle that surrounds the blood vessel?
Blood vessels are surrounded by smooth muscle. This is often known as visceral muscle. This type of muscle also lines the blood vessels and internal organs.
What type of blood flow is needed for muscle tissue?
The type of blood flow that is needed for muscle tissue is skeletal muscle blood flow. Skeletal muscle blood flow is important for both voluntary and involuntary muscles.
What is the pathways of the blood?
the blood muscle
What type of muscle is associated with blood vessels?
The smooth muscle type is associated with blood vessels. This muscle type is involuntary.
What muscle of the heart is thinner and thicker?
the left ventricle area of the heart is the thickest because it has to pump blood through out the entire body the atrial are thinner because the blood they pump does not have to travel as far.
Is blood a muscle?
NO.
If blood flow to the calf muscle is 30 mL per min and the blood vessel supplying blood to the calf muscle dilates tripling its radius what is the blood flow to the muscle?
270 ml/min!
Is there more mitochondria in blood or muscle?
in the blood
What muscle is associated with the blood vessel?
Smooth muscle
What blood vessel brings oxygen to the heart muscle?
The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that bring oxygenated blood to the muscle of the heart.
Does smooth muscle move blood through the heart?
No. A form of involuntary muscle known as cardiac muscle pumps the blood through the heart.
Where does the heart muscle receives its blood supply from?
The heart muscle is supplied by blood vessels called coronaries.
