Arteries

The blood leaving the left ventricle is oxygen-rich and the blood coming out of the right ventricle is oxygen-poor. It then goes through the pulmonary arteries and into the capillaries of the lung where the carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen.

The body only holds about 5 liters of blood, and the brachial artery is the first artery after the aorta, so it's possible to lose all the blood in the body if the artery is cut badly enough. Arterys are made to close whenb lood pressure drops, but if they are cut at an angle, that cannot happen. So since the body pumps 5 liters of blood a minute, you can bleed out very quickly.

Glutathione has hundreds of functions in the body, but the acronym "An IDEA" covers about 90% of what glutathione does.

The blood in veins has already passed through the capillaries which are smaller. anything that passes through the capillaries is too small to form one, and if it was big enough to clause blockage, that would occur in the arteries, before it reached the capillaries

The contraction and relaxation of the smooth muscle in their walls can change their diameter, thus changing the level of pressure (large diameter yields low pressure and smaller diameter yields high pressure).

All arteries carry blood from the heart to another organ in the body. The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs.

As humans age, the walls of the blood vessel also grow a bit harder and stiffer, with less flexibility. One of the very common problems of arteriosclerosis is known as an atherosclerosis. In such a condition, the plaques collect in the arteries. A plaque is a hardened mass composed of dead cells, lipids, platelets, and fibrous tissue. The flow of blood can be blocked through the artery.

Statins are lipid lowering agents specifically a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that , inhibits the rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis by competitively inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase therefore lowering the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver since cholesterol is a major determinant in atherosclerosis.

Pleural tap is also known as thorcentesis.

Blood pressure of 140 over 90 or higher makes the heart work harder, and over time, both weakens the heart and harms the arteries.

the area present between two lungs in chest cavity is called mediastenum.this is the place where heart is present.The mediastinum lies between the right and left pleuræ in and near the median sagittal plane of the chest. It extends from the sternum in front to the vertebral column behind, and contains all the thoracic viscera excepting the lungs. It may be divided for purposes of description into two parts: an upper portion, above the upper level of the pericardium, which is named the superior mediastinum; and a lower portion, below the upper level of the pericardium. This lower portion is again subdivided into three parts, viz., that in front of the pericardium, the anterior mediastinum; that containing the pericardium and its contents, the middle mediastinum; and that behind the pericardium, the posterior mediastinum.

Yes, it could be a sinister sign of a disease It could also be a increased input of blood in your veins

There are a few ways in which the pulmonary artery might not work properly.

* It leaks - in which case you would probably die (slowly if it were a simple leak, or quickly if it fully ruptured) without surgical care. (Very rare) * It is clogged with a clot - which would probably dislodge and move to the lungs. (Very dangerous, fairly common.) * It doesn't constrict or open properly - would lead to congestive heart failure. (Very common) There are other issues a person may have, and under competent medical care, each of the above can be treated.

The medical procedure carotid endarterectomy entails the removal of plaque buildup from the carotid arteries. This is done through a small incision at the top of the neck.

Typically the words "organ" and "system" are used separately-- a system is a collection of organs that work toward a particular purpose.

The coronary arteries are, like all arteries, part of the cardiovascular system. They can also be considered part of the heart, when looking at things from the standpoint of organs.

What is the diameter of the normal carotid artery?

Deep femoral artery

If the cut transects the femoral artery (a major blood vessel) the wound could be fatal within minutes due to exsanguination. If the cut us at an angle or ragged you can lose consciousness in about 30 seconds for the average adult male and die in about 3 minutes.
