How do minerals occur in veins and lodes?
Superheated water forces its way into rock faults. It contains many dissolved minerals which crystallise out when the water cools.
Why doesn't blood clot in the bottles in Blood banks?
Tubes used for blood bank (Pink and Lavender top) contain a chemical called EDTA that binds the calcium in blood, which is needed for blood to clot.
Red or Gold top tubes contain no chemicals to prevent the blood to clot, so the blood will clot with out being exposed to air.
Each specific department in the lab have different colored tubes with different chemical/no chemical in them depending on what test has been ordered.
What causes the movement of blood through the veins?
The pressure your heart creates by pulsing, pumps blood through the veins
Which heart chambers does the left pulmonary vein enters?
Four pulmonary veins, which are two from each lung, enter the left atrium of the heart. Oxygenated blood is contained in these veins that then drain into the left atrium.
What is vein that collects most of the venous blood from below the diaphragm is the?
superior vena cava
No. All veins are carry de-oxygenated blood. Veins carry de-oxygenated blood to the heart so that the heart in turn can pump that de-oxygenated blood to the lungs where they will become oxygenated.
Where is the blood going through the pulmonary vein going?
All veins carry blood back to the heart. Pulmonary means associated with the lungs. So the pulmonary vein carries blood from the lungs back to the heart. This blood is oxygenated and enters the heart in the chamber called the left atrium.
All other veins in the body carry deoxygenated blood, and this can lead to confusion.
What vein does the blood enter the atrium from?
Depends on which atria you are asking about. Blood enters the right atrium from the vena cava and the left atrium from the pulmonary vein.
What is the name of the vein that carries blood to the heart?
The inferior and superior vena cava from the body enter the right atrium. The pulmonary vein carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium.
What is the plant with netlike leaf veins?
Plant not having tap root are miten found with parallel lead veins.
In the circulatory system, veins, the vessels responsible for returning blood to the heart have valves that open to let blood flow through and shut to hold it against the downward pull of gravity.
Blood that flows through the pulmonary veins will be carried to the?
Blood transported by the pulmonary veins returns to the left atrium of the heart. The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs.
What are the 4 pulmonary veins?
the name pulmonary means lungs.. veins take blood away from the heart.. and yes there are four.. two are the left pulmonary veins.. two are the right pulmonary veins.. they are not named separately except for the right/left part..
What can you do for a popped vein in the hand?
You cant heal it only your body can but you can ease the pain ice the area. Bruising or discoloration of skin will happen.

Just use ice and let your body heal the wound. now if the vein that has burst is near an organ or the brain you may want to see a doctor. Hope i helped and good luck. I know how painful the experience is.
What is the function of superior vena cena?
The function of superior and inferior vena cava is to take blood to the heart. The two veins will carry blood that is low in oxygen from the body to the heart.
Why is the pulmonary vein so important?
It carries oxygenated blood from the lungs into the heart where the oxygented blood is then pumped around the rest of the body.
What cause Jugular vein distension?
I know this is caused by pressure on the heart which is inhibiting the right atrium to empty into the ventricle.
But i am uncertain on the cause of the actual vessel distention. My best guess would be that the heart is struggling to pump blood out so the aorta and other major arteries dilate to increase blood flow. This on top of the air pressure accumulating in the plural space from the tension pneumo is my best guess. However i could be wrong. Hope this helped.

Can you hit a vein when piercing your lip?
Yes you can hit a vein. Listen you don't know what to look for nor do you know what you are doing. The lips and area around the eyes are loaded with fine vessels and veins. Please leave piercing to trained experienced professional body piercers.
The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.
Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.
The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years of hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.
