Difference between aorta and vena cava?
aorta carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the whole body while vena cava carries de-oxygenated blood from the body to the heart
In what way does the composition of the blood in the renal artery differ from the renal vein?
The renal artery takes blood to the kidney. The renal vein takes blood away from the kidney. In the kidney, the waste product urea is filtered out of the blood. So the main difference is in the amount of urea in the blood: high in the renal artery and low in the renal vein.

What is unusual about the hepatic portal vein?
The hepatic portal vein in frogs is unusual in that it is divided into two portals, the hepatic and the renal. In higher vertebrates, the hepatic portal system is the only one present.
Do you apply heat or cold on varicose veins?
You should apply cold compresses to varicose veins. Heat dilates blood vessels, so the veins may appear more visible after a hot shower. The cold compress will cause the veins to temporarily contract, making them less visible.
In other plants, netted venation occurs, in which the large veins branch repeatedly as they enter the blade. These produce smaller, interconnecting branches as well.

Why is there tiny veins in air sacs?
The thin walls of the blood vessels are capillaries around the alveolar sacs that permit diffusion of gases in every single red blood cell with oxygen inhaled
...
they are thinner to improve the pressure gradient to allow more O2 in the capillaries, because the pulmonary capillaries have the lowest blood pressure in the body (normally)
What is the difference between an atery and a vein?
There is no transportation system in any city that can compare in effeciency with the circular system of our body. If you can imagine two systems of pipes, one large and one small, both meeting at a central pumping station, you will have an idea of the circulatory system. The smaller pipes go from the heart to the lungs and back, while the larger ones go from the heart to the various other parts of the body. These pipes are called arteries, veins and capillaries. Arteries are vessels in which blood is carried away from the heart. In veins,the blood is coming back to the heart. In general terms, arteries are carrying pure blood to various parts of the body, and the veins are bringing back blood loaded with waste products. The pumping station is of course the heart. Arteries lie deep in tissues, except at the wrist, over the instep, at the temple and along the sides of the neck. At any of these places the pulse can be felt, which gives the doctor an idea of the condition of the arteries. The blood in arteries is bright red in color and moves through in spurts. Veins lie closer to the surface of the skin, and the blood in them is much darker in color and flows more evenly. Veins have valves and intervals all along their course.
Fact File: Blood contains red and white blood cells that float inside a liquid called plasma. It also contains thousands of different substances needed by the body. Blood carries all this things round the body and also removes waste products.

Does The common iliac vein drains blood into the inferior vena cava?
Blood from the lower extremities, blood flows through the common iliac vein. From the common iliac vein, the blood flows into the inferior vena cava on its way back to the right atrium of the heart.
What organs blood flow directly to portal vein?
The hepatic portal vein carries blood (and absorbed nutrients) from the small intestine to the liver.
Can you propose a mechanism by which blood from the veins may be returned to the heart?
Liquid flows from high pressure to low.
