Is the blood in the Pulmonary artery oxygenatated or deoxygenated?
Blood in the arteries is oxygenated. Blood in the veins is de-oxygenated. With the exception of the pulmonary arteries which carry de-oxygenated blood, and the pulmonary veins that carry oxygenated blood.
How do arteries similar to veins?
Vein carries oxygenated blood to the hear,arteries carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart while capillaries(as the name implies) is a tube connecting them together.they are connected to the heart
absolutely nothing
What is the difference between afferent and efferent nerve fibers?

What is the difference between the pulmanary vein and the pulmanary artery?
For the most part, arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry de-oxygenated blood. This is opposite in the pulmonary veins and arteries because they are going to and from the lungs to get oxygen.
What is the pressure wave in arteries produced when the left ventricle contracts called?
"Blood pressure" is the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries, maintained by the contraction of the left ventricle, the resistance of the arterioles and capillaries, the elasticity of the arterial walls, and by the viscosity and volume of the blood.
What is atherosclerotic calcifications of the intracranial internal carotid arteries?
When looking at a phrase like this, it is easiest to break it down into individual words, until you become fluent in reading medical terminology.
Atherosclerotic refers to the build up of atheroma, (cholesterol or fat) in the arteries, that leads to the passageway through the artery becoming narrow.
Calcification is the build up of calcium, causing the artery to harden.
Intracranial means within the cranium (Skull).
Internal Carotid Arteries are major arteries that supply the brain.
So this phrase means, there are fat and calcium salt deposits within some major arteries to the brain, that have caused the arteries to become more narrow and harden.
How do you take care of your arteries?
Veins and arteries are a form of muscle. Unlike many of the muscles we come to think of when someone mentions the word muscle, the veins and arteries are not fibrous muscles, but rather they are smooth muscles. Being a type of muscle they respond to exercise and use and conversely atrophy when not used. The best you can do to strengthen your muscles is to use them. Exercise them regularly. Many of the so called venous vitamins are a total hoax.
What artery supplies blood to the head of the femur?
Medial Femoral Circumflex... Without this artery blood supply to the head of the femur is cut off and the head of the femur will die
Is it true that the pulse can be felt on arteries but not on veins?
Yes, it's true. The beating of the heart only drives blood in the arteries. As the blood passes from the arteries to the capillaries and then to the veins, it ceases to be pumped by the heart, so no pulse can be felt. Blood in the veins returns to the heart because of the valves in the veins, and because of general muscular contractions in the body, rather than because of the heart.
Does the right coronary artery connect to the left coronary artery?
No need, the left coronary arises from the left posterior sinus of the ascending aorta.
If a blood clot blocks and artery in your brain will result in a?
"A stroke" is the answer you're looking for.
What does grossly patent mean in reference to carotid artery?
it means that you have a gross patent and need a new one
How do aortic arch arteries of a cat differ from those of a human?
The abdominal aorta splits caudally into the external iliac arteries, and a short section of the aorta continues on and then divides to form the two internal iliac arteries and the caudal artery. There is no common iliac artery in cats as there is in humans. In cats, the caudal artery takes blood to the tail
Your arteries circulate the blood from your heart around your entire body.
As large amounts of blood may be carried by your arteries they are susceptible to trauma and punctures that can make them release large amounts of blood. A puncture in any arteries is a very serious condition and should be immediately mediated.
Why is blood drawn from veins rather than arteries?
doctors typically draw blood from veins because veins are more superficial (ie close to the surface of the skin) and therefore more easily accessible. additionally, arteries are under high pressure and there is a risk of major bleeding. lastly, you have less collateral circulation with arteries than veins. what that means is this (let's use your arm as an example): there are many different veins in your forearm that lets blood get from your hand back to your heart, so damaging any one of these veins isn't a big deal. however, there are only two arteries in your forearm that supplies blood to your hand (the radial and ulnar arteries). Arterial blood is sampled from the radial artery because it's bigger and more easily accessible. However, damaging this artery can be catastrophic if the ulnar artery is not well developed, because then your hand is not getting enough blood, and it can become gangrenous and die (this is a vascular emergency). That is why doctors will do an Allen's test (look it up on google... you can even try it on yourself) before doing an arterial stick to make sure you have good blood flow through your ulnar artery that can sustain your hand in case the radial artery is destroyed with the arterial stick. so for these reasons, doctors don't do an arterial blood draw unless they really need one, and the one test that comes to mind where you absolutely need arterial blood is the arterial blood gas test. this test is used when doctors need to know the oxygen saturation and pH of the arterial blood, typically in patients with respiratory failure and sometimes in type 1 diabetics with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
The left common carotid artery receives blood from what vessel?
It supply blood to organs External to the skull.
What is the Function of the umbilical arteries of pig?

What are the signs and symptoms of coronary artery disease?
The symptoms of coronary artery disease don't appear until the artery is 70 percent blocked. Moreover, women who suffer from a heart attack tend to experience different symptoms. While some of the common symptoms of coronary artery disease include fullness or pressure in the chest often extending to the arm, jaws, and neck area ; breathless; dizziness; and nausea, women reported suffering from abdominal and mid-back pain, indigestion, and extreme fatigue.
What is a fatty deposit buildup within an artery called?
Atherosclerosis is the build up of a waxy plaque on the inside of blood vessels. In Greek, athere means gruel, and skleros means hard. Atherosclerosis is often called arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis (from the Greek arteria,meaning artery) is a general term for hardening of the arteries. Arteriosclerosis can occur in several forms, including atherosclerosis.
the difference between aortic diastolic and right atrial diastolic pressure; a determinant of the blood flow to cardiac muscle.
