A leaf whose veins branch out in all directions has what type of veins?
Branching veins mean that they expand over the area of a leaf. All leaves tend to have branching veins, with few exceptions.
How are veins of plants similar to the veins in a humans body?
The vein of a plant and human are alike because each one carries either blood or nutrients to the main part of either the human or plants body.
All veins carry blood towards the heart. The ones that are attached to the heart are the superior and inferior vena cavae.
Portal vein bypass, also called portacaval shunting.In portacaval shunting, blood from the portal vein is diverted into the inferior vena cava (one of the main veins leading back to the heart). This is the most common type of bypass.
Do veins travel away from the heart?
Veins carry blood to the heart while arteries carry blood away.i
Does arteries ever carry oxygen - rich blood?
no, pulmonary arteries do not carry oxygen rich blood?
Answer:
No, two arteries carry blood with low levels of oxygen:
Do veins allow blood to travel away from the heart?
No. Pulmonary veins take blood from the lungs to the right atrium.(veINs take blood IN to the heart.) Pulmonary arteries take blood from the heart(left ventricle) to the lungs.
But pulmonary veins are the only veins in the body to carry oygenated blood, and pulmonary arteries are the only arteries to carry deoxygenated blood.
If all the veins in the body was put end to end will it go around the earth?
"No but depending on the size of the human being it may be long enough to cross New York or a reall tall person mabey California"
I don't know where this person gets there information but this is wrong. If you take out all your circulatory system and put it end to end it would cirlce the earth more than once. It is between 50k and 100k miles long.
Veins help regulate your body temperature. When the body temperature is too warm, the veins will pop out. Veins will also be more prominent in those who have less body fat, and in the elderly because their skin is thin.
What is function of arteries and vein and capellaries?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood to the heart while blood exchange is done in the capillaries
Are vessels the same as veins?
There are three different types of blood vessels: arteries (which carry blood away from the heart) veins (which carry blood toward the heart) and capillaries (which carry blood from arteries to veins). So veins are a type of vessel, but not the only type.
Are the inferior and superior vena cava systemic veins?
The inferior vena cava is a large vein. The two common iliac veins join to make the inferior vena cava, which receives blood from the lower body and empties it into the right atrium of the heart.
Vein that drains the posterior venticles?
It is the azygos vein that is located on right side of abdominal and thoracic aorta and in front of right vegus nerve that drains into superior vena cava on its posterior aspect just before vena cava drains into right atrium.

Why can you see your veins through your skin?
It is possible to see capillaries through your skin if your skin is thin and pale.
Can a blood clot in a varicose vein be dangerous?
Inflammation in superficial or surface veins, such as those used to insert IV lines in the arm or to draw blood, can produce pain, redness, warmth, and discomfort. Blood clots that form in superficial veins rarely break loose and travel in the blood to cause blockage (in places such as the lungs) and complications.
How is blood in the pulmonary vein different from blood in other veins?
It's the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. It brings this oxygenated blood back to the heart (into the left atrium) where it can then be pumped around the body.
Veins that drain blood from the kidneys to the inferior vena cava?
Think of it this way. Anything Phrenic has to do with the diaphram. We have the superior and inferior parts of a diaphram. Herein lies the answer - the superior portion is drained by the Superior Phrenic vein and the inferior portion (follows the same logic) drained by the Inferior Phrenic vein. Both of these dump blood into the IVC. On another matter, remember the heart (cardia) rests on the diaphragm and the diaphram is a muscle? We also have the Pericardiacophrenic vein and Musculophrenic veins both of which dump their blood into the Internal Thoracic vein to take it up to the Brachiocephalic vein. I am sure you will agree with me that we always need another exit strategy, just in case. Anatomy is a challenge and that is how I try to learn it - by anatomical relations. Black Moses JCU Med
another fetal structure ?
Why veins have valves and arteries don't?
Arteries do not have valves because the heart provides the pressure needed to send blood through the system. Veins have valves because venous pressure is often not great enough (as the blood must overcome gravity and other forces) to return the blood to the heart.
What is the name of the vessel that carry lymph from the lymphatic capillaries to the veins?
collecting vessels
What does the inferior mesenteric vein drain?
The Inferior Mesenteric Vein (iMV) drains into the splenic vein. The splenic vein ultimately "meets up" with the Superior Mesenteric Vein (SMV) to form the Hepatic Portal Vein (HPV)
the jagular vein is in the carotid triangle in the neck next to the vagus nerve and carotid artery.
