Arteries

Axillary artery

Because there are crescent shaped, like half moons :)

When people use the word vessel in relation to the cardiovascular system, they usually are referring to blood vessels like arteries, veins, or capillaries. Coronary arteries are specific blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the muscles (myocardium) of the heart.

The cause of carotid stenosis is the buildup of plaque on the inner wall of the carotid artery. The reduced blood flow to the brain and the blockage of other arteries following the release of emboli can cause a stroke.

Coronary artery disease caused by atherosclerosis

The internal iliac artery and its branches are the main source of blood supply for the muscles and organs in the pelvis.

Branches from Pericardiacophrenic and some from musculophrenic arteries.

Insertion of a balloon stent that is fed in via a guidewire and inflated when it reaches the blocked part, opening the artery and allowing more oxygen carrying blood into the heart.

Alternatively, a CABG ("cabbage") can be done where an artery from a non-essential area is taken and grafted to bypass the blocked arteries, i.e. "bypass" surgery.

Arteries transport Oxygenated blood from the heart all over the body. They carry blood away from the heart. They have thick lumens because the blood inside them is under great pressure as it is pumped away from the heart.

Why yes, frogs do have an aorta.

The right ventricle pumps O2 poor blood into the lungs. The ventricular pressure has to be greater than that of the pulmonary artery to open the pulmonary valve and push the blood to the lungs.

The aorta is the large blood vessel that comes out of your heart and contains the blood that has been oxygenated in your lungs and is ready to go to the rest of your body. It is one big tube with smaller arteries coming off of it until it needs to split in two to reach the legs, at which point it becomes the two femoral arteries.

The aorta is shaped a bit like a question mark. Get out a piece of paper and a pencil, and start by drawing a short (a couple of inches) vertical line in the middle of the page. Now from the top of that line, continue it in an arch curving up and to the right, then back toward the middle of the page, then down, like a question mark. The line that goes up at the beginning is the ascending aorta, the middle more horizontal part is the arch, and when it turns and comes back down, it is the descending aorta.

The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that nourish the heart. Even though blood goes through the heart, that blood is not the way that the muscle itself picks up nutrients and disposes of wastes.

the aorta because it is the one that actually takes the blood away from the heart

In your wrist it's the radial

c omplication of significant blood loss into surrounding tissue of femoral artery, after stent insertion.

It has been shown that there is documentation of coronary artery disease dating back to ancient Egypt. In more modern times, the creator of the smallpox vaccine, Edward Jenner, discovered arterial plaque when he was performing an autopsy in the 1700's.

Elatic recoil.

The Superior and Inferior Vena Cava do not carry oxygenated blood to the heart. They carry deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs, which may seem odd since it's called a vein- but vessels leading TO the heart are called veins and vessels travelleing FROM the heart are called arteries.

The renal arteries normally arise off the side of the abdominal aorta, immediately below the superior mesenteric artery, and supply the kidneys with blood.

neither actually,they are the smallest blood vessels in the body which allow the blood to reach the tissues,and also carry the blood back to the venules,which go to the veins which carry the blood back to the heart

It is called "angina" or more specifically "angina pectoris" (Latin a strangling of the chest). It is caused by the lack of oxygen to the heart muscles, the blood flow in the cardiac arteries being blocked, typically by atherosclerosis.
