What does the vertebral arteries are patent codominant and demonstrates antegrade flow without evidence of stenosis mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A patent artery is open. Codominance means one doesn't have more flow than the other. Antegrade flow is normal forward motion of the blood. Stenosis is narrowing, and these vertebral arteries aren't showing narrowing. It's just a big old paragraph filled with good news.

What is the ballooning out of an artery and thinning of the artery wall is?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The ballooning out of an artery and thinning of the artery wall is a condition known as an aneurysm. It occurs when the wall of an artery becomes weak and bulges outwards like a balloon. Aneurysms may be caused by a variety of factors including aging high blood pressure and genetic disorders. If left untreated an aneurysm can rupture or tear leading to life-threatening bleeding.

Symptoms of an aneurysm may include:

  • A pulsing sensation in the abdomen or neck
  • Pain in the abdomen or back
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Loss of consciousness

If you experience any of these symptoms it is important to seek medical attention right away. Treatment for aneurysms typically involves repairing the weakened artery wall with open surgery or an endovascular procedure. In some cases doctors may recommend lifestyle changes or medications to help reduce the risk of an aneurysm.

What would happen if an artery or vein was damaged?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I assume you mean with a needle.

It will hurt like hell, blood will come out rapidly (possibly with enough force to push the plunger back automatically), and you need to immediately apply pressure and treat the wound or you could be in some serious trouble.

Arteries have thicker walls and are deeper, so you will most likely know if you hit an artery instead of a vein. Do NOT inject into your artery, this is very dangerous.

Contrast the structure of veins and arteries for thickness of muscle and elastic tissue?

The more pressure it uses, the thicker the walls will be.

Veins have very low pressure which means they have thin walls and vice/versa for arteries which have a higher pressure and thicker walls than veins.
