What term describes the tendency of water molecules to cling to the wall of a blood vessel?
The term that describes the tendency of water molecules to cling to the wall of a blood vessel is "adhesion." This property allows water molecules to interact with the surface of the vessel, contributing to the overall behavior of fluids in the circulatory system. Adhesion, along with cohesion (the attraction between water molecules themselves), plays a crucial role in maintaining blood flow and pressure.

Microscopic examination of a section of the kidney shows a thick-walled vessel with renal corpuscles scattered in the tissue on one side of the vessel but not on the other what is blood the vessel?
The vessel is most likely an artery. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to various tissues in the body, including the kidneys. The presence of renal corpuscles (where blood filtration occurs) on one side of the vessel indicates that the artery is transporting blood to the kidney for filtration.

If you rupture a blood vessel can you die?
Yes. It depends on the blood vessel and where it is, but yes a rupture to a blood vessel can kill you. A blood vessel is more likely to "pop" or rupture if it has an aneurysm, which is a local weakness where the blood vessel has stretched from the pressure of the blood. This is more likely to result in death if it is in a large blood vessel or in a critical location, such as the aorta or a vessel in the brain.
Is a blood vessel carrying blood away from the heart an afferent or efferent blood vessel?
efferent
Is the dorsal blood vessel different from the ventral blood vessel in an earthworm?
yes.
