Veins

Veins are thin blood vessels that carry blood from various body parts to the heart. These have valves in them to prevent back flow of blood.

Do arteries get smaller as they move further from the heart?

The blood pressure in the arteries will decrease as they move further away from the heart. The arteries are the vessels which regulate the blood pressure from the heart.Ê

Locate the veins that join to form the anterior vena cava?

internal thoracic R/L, subclavian R/L, brachiocephalic R/L, external jugular R/L, internal jugular R/L, axilary R/L

What vein returns blood from the lower part of the body to the heart?

Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from your heart, and veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to your heart.

How do you get your veins to pop out?

Purposely?? Veins will pop out if you are in stress or if you are extremely mad and your face turns red you may see a vein or two popping out, if you've ever arm wrestled someone you may notice that all the veins in your arm begin to show

A vein bringing blood out of your leg?

this vein is called the great saphenous vein

Where do veins carry blood to?

First let me start by saying that the are 2 vena cava's the superior and the inferior. the inferior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from the bodies lower half to the hearts right atrium and the superior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from the bodies upper half to the hearts right atrium.

What are the differences between the central and peripheral nervous veins?

The Central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.The brain is the control center for all activities in the body.It is made of billions of neurons. The spinal cord is made up of bundles of neurons.Sensory neurons send impulse to the brain.

All the nerves outside CNS ( Central Nervous System) that connects the brain and spinal cord to other body parts are part of the Peripheral nervous system. The Peripheral nervous system includes 12 pairs of nerves from your brain called cranial nerves, and 31 pairs of nerves from your spinal cord called Spinal nerves.

Does it hurt a lot to cut your jugular vein?

It hurts so bad the blood gushing out feels like lava

What vein carries oxygen rich blood to the heart from the lungs?

The right atrium receives de-oxygenated blood from the body through the superior vena cava (head and upper body) and inferior vena cava (legs and lower torso). The sinoatrial node sends an impulse that causes the cardiac muscle tissue of the atrium to contract in a coordinated, wave-like manner. The tricuspid valve, which separates the right atrium from the right ventricle, opens to allow the de-oxygenated blood collected in the right atrium to flow into the right ventricle. The right ventricle receives de-oxygenated blood as the right atrium contracts. The pulmonary valve leading into the pulmonary artery is closed, allowing the ventricle to fill with blood. Once the ventricles are full, they contract. As the right ventricle contracts, the tricuspid valve closes and the pulmonary valve opens. The closure of the tricuspid valve prevents blood from backing into the right atrium and the opening of the pulmonary valve allows the blood to flow into the pulmonary artery toward the lungs. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through the pulmonary vein. As the contraction triggered by the sinoatrial node progresses through the atria, the blood passes through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. The left ventricle receives oxygenated blood as the left atrium contracts. The blood passes through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. The aortic valve leading into the aorta is closed, allowing the ventricle to fill with blood. Once the ventricles are full, they contract. As the left ventricle contracts, the mitral valve closes and the aortic valve opens. The closure of the mitral valve prevents blood from backing into the left atrium and the opening of the aortic valve allows the blood to flow into the aorta and flow throughout the body.

Do humans have veins?

Yes, if they didn't there would be no way to get the blood to and form the brain

What are tiny tubes that connect arteries to the veins?

Capillaries. From the arteries, arterioles carry the blood, and at their ends they have a minute sphincter beyond which they are venules. The tiny sphincters may play a part in stopping bleeding.

Why does your lower right stomach hurt?

Because You have a tight muscle in your back causing these things to happen. When tight in the back the muscles can press against the nerves of other organs as they leave the spine to cause them to go into pains or act up.

Is a pulse mostly found in a vein?

Veins don't have pulses, arteries have pulses. Arteries are blood supply tubes, veins are blood return tubes. Between the arteries and the veins blood passes through tiny tubes called capillaries. The pressure changes that cause the pulse can't pass through these tiny tubes.

What are the 4 major veins of the heart called?

Right ventricle, left ventricle, right atrium, left atrium.

Do atrioventricular vales prevent backflow into the heart?

yes, they get it back by pumping blood to the 4 parts of your heart. when you inhale, it makes rich blood when you exhale it takes out poor blood which turns into carbon dioxide.

What do the plumonary veins do?

a plumonary wein transports blood from a cat to a dog :)

Does your hand have veins?

How does vericose veins effects sexual life?

It actually makes the sex better if the vein is exposed on the penis, the penis is more sensitive to a woman's vagina.

Is it a blocked lymph vessel? Although uncommon, this feels like an enlarged vein usually across the shaft of the penis just below the glans. Whilst palpable when flaccid (although is still hard when pressed) it can cause discomfort when the penis is erect.

It's not the sort of thing that goes away by itself although can decrease in size over time, only to return to full hardness usually after several bouts of sexual activity.

If it is causing greater discomfort the only solution is surgery (a urologist is the person to see), otherwise it's just another interesting thing to discuss with your lover!

Blood going up to the heart does not flow backward because the veins that carry them have?

It does not flow backwards because when blood is pumped out, it is pumped through your arteries. Once your blood is done delivering oxygen and needs to go back to the heart, it goes to your veins through tiny "tubes" that connect your arteries and veins called capillaries. Also, the color of blood changes according to how much oxygen is in it. So when you get a cut, if the blood seems dark and almost maroon, it's probably from your veins. Artery blood is brighter because it has the oxygen.

The only thing I can think or that flows in and out is animals with exoskeletons. They don't have veins or arteries so blood just gets pushed out to their bodies and then pulled back in like the ocean or breathing.
