Arteries

Such deposits are called atheromas. They mainly consist of calcified fat (cholesterol and fatty acids) and tissue. The build up of atheromas within the arterial walls is a sign of artheriosclerosis, a cardiovascular disease that causes the stiffening of arteries.

Yes, the aorta is the largest of the arteries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood throughout the body.

Because the aorta extends directly from the heart, it has a high oxygen content as oxygenated blood comes directly from the lungs to the heart.

The radial and ulnar arteries branch off from the brachial (axillary) artery below the elbow.

to carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the cells, tissues, and organs of the body

Stent replacement is recommended approximately every six months or more often in patients who form stones.

The most accurate way to measure blood pressure is to use an artery closest to the heart. The radial artery is far weaker, and less audible making it a less popular area of the body to assess blood pressure. For medical purposes, the brachial artery is considered the most noninvasive artery to access when measuring blood pressure. Its no wonder that medical professionals dont constrict the carotid arteries to measure blood pressure.

An aneurysm is a weakening in the wall of a blood vessel. This causes the blood to pool and push against the weak spot as it flows through the vessel, developing the ballooning or blossoming effect on the side of the vessel. This is very dangerous, the larger and faster the ballooning, the more dangerous. The vessel becomes weaken and brittle at the stretched point, and you do not want it to rupture, especially if it is in a vital area. There are several ways to fix an aneurysm, depending on where is it and how big it has gotten. I know that the basilar artery is located at or near the base of the skull, But that still leaves alot details out. That's the best I can do with the info, you gave and requested. This is a very fearful thing, but most can be handled with quick action, and proper care.

Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry low oxygenated blood back to or towards the heart.

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.

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.
