What is the only vein does not carry oxygenated blood?
"Pulmonary veins" donot carry carbon dioxide as they bring oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What do you do when arteries are completely severed?
A: What he said up there. They will probably also stitch you if it's an open wound, and put some antiseptic or whatever they use there. =) Good luck! Also if it's a closed wound, maybe there will be some bruising but other than that, I heard your body has a natural ability to heal itself, as long as it's not too bad of an injury.

If you have cut an artery, it's naturally going to be an open wound and more likely than not blood will be spurting out. No matter what, you need to seek immediate medical attention. This type of injury can cause serious blood loss very rapidly. Do not try to treat this at home, no matter how much you don't like doctors or hospitals. If not given the proper care, an injury like this could result in death.

Yes they can... and it happened to me. I am a 40 year old mother of 3 and I inherited varicose veins from my mom.
I was on a 3 hour non-stop flight. I didn't walk around at all. The next day I was visiting with family with my legs crossed (big no no) then I felt a burning, itching sensation on the right side of my leg just below my kneecap.
It was one of my varicose veins...about an inch wide and was bulging. You could tell that it was whole and then it fanned out when it ruptured.
Within seconds I took some aspirin as a precaution and put my leg up because I thought it was a blod clot.
After it settled down I went to urgent care and they did my vitals, examination of the leg and they ordered an ultra-sound of my leg.
20 minutes later in the imaging room they put the gel on and checked my whole femoral artery that runs down from your crotch to the place of the rupture. They need to see if there are any blockages/clots. There were none. Just a rupture.
The following days I just took it easy....took some ibuprofen and went on short walks.
5 days later I have no leg pain in that area....just a nasty bruise.
Whenever I fly they just recommend that I have a few aspirin before the flight and that I get up and walk to the bathroom at least once.
I have regular blood pressure...pretty healthy....but we had just moved in the previous month and went on 2 trips and then I flew...so I think I had some anxiety with it and did too much. My body needed rest and I didn't listen to it.
When I returned I had a full physical including bloodwork & urine samples.
Everything is good....Thank you GOD.
What are the artery and vein of the eye?
Describe blood flow through a vein compared to an artery?
Since arteries bring blood away from the
heart, they will have high blood flow
and pressure. And arteries are also more durable
than veins. Since veins take blood back to the heart,
and there are more of them, and there smaller, so they
don't have to carry as much blood.
What term is an inflammation of peritoneum?

How much does a LEEP procedure cost?
Might depend on where one lives but I just inquired about it here in Connecticut, this year - 2010. There is the Medicare price of $600. (What Medicare pays is usually lower). I've been turned down from one office because of that. I do not know what it would cost otherwise. Obviously more if you have regular insurance.
There are two causes are there for the same probably. One is the pressure of the growing uterus on the abdominal veins. That increase the pressure in the leg veins. So they become tortuous. That is varicose. The other reason is related to increased level of pregnancy hormones. The exact contribution of the both is not known to me. You may ask the lady to sleep on the side to prevent the compression of the abdominal veins. But you can not ask her to maintain that position during the sleep.
What is the largest veins in the human body?
The five main veins in the human body are: 1) Inferior vena cava
2) Pulmonary vein
3) Portal vein
4) Right femoral vein
5) Left femoral vein
Additional main veins include the right and left jugular veins, hepatic veins, superior and inferior mesenteric veins ...
They look like little checker pieces that are red and blue and sometimes white.
SYLLABICATION: hem�or�rhoid
PRONUNCIATION: HEM-eh-roid
NOUN: 1. An itching or painful mass of dilated veins in swollen anal tissue. 2. hemorrhoids The pathological condition in which such painful masses occur. Also called piles.
They are painful, swollen veins in the rectum or anus.
There are millions of veins present in human body, which are not accounted yet accurately. Every organ has veins running from it branching off into many more capillaries.
Approximately the total length of the veins in the human body ranges from 60,000 - 100,000 miles including the capillaries.
An artery is a vessel that carries blood out of the heart, into the tissues. A vein is a vessel that carries blood from the tissues back to the heart. The fact that arteries carry oxygenated blood exclusively and veins, solely deoxygenated blood is not true. Our blood is oxygenated in the tissues of our lungs, so the vessels that bring this fresh, oxygenated blood from these tissues back to our heart are called... pulmonary veins! It's just a matter of vocabulary.
AnswerBlood coming from the pulmonary veins is oxygenated because it is coming from the lungs, the site of gas exchange.Where does the pulmonary vein move blood to and from?
The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs, to the left atrium of the heart.
The left atrium is like a "turbocharger" for the left ventricle of the heart. It fills with oxygenated blood from the lungs, then contracts to pump the blood into the left ventricle. Here, the ventricle then contracts to pump the oxygenated blood all around your body.
Mostly a very dark brownish red, although when you look at them through many people's skin, they look blue. This is an illusion, caused by the reflective factors of the skin, that gives the appearance of blue. This pertains to the veins themselves and the venous blood; both look blue through the skin. Deep bruises look bluish red for this reason, we can see more of the red color since the blood of the bruise is closer to the surface than veins, that look very blue through the skin. The arteries are much deeper in the tissues where they are less visible and have less of the reflective factor involved, but they are also red. The blood in arteries is a brighter red than the brownish maroon color of venous blood. During vascular and endovascular surgery and direct visualization, the true red colors are visible.
Which atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the vena cava?
Two veins return deoxygenated blood to the right atrium. The superior vena cava returns blood from the head and upper body to the right atrium. The inferior vena cava returns blood from the legs and lower body to the right atrium.
The answer is not to stuff yourself with food, its to do leg exercises. I know what your thinking, if i exercise then i will lose more weight. But that's not true at all. If you try to stuff yourself then you will get fat in all the places that you didn't intend to get fat. Leg exercises will give you muscle.
What happens in the pulmonary vein?
The 4 pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. They are the only veins in the post-fetal human body that carry oxygenated (red) blood. The pulmonary veins return the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
What is the large vein that directs blood to the right atrium?
The superior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood into the heart, into the right atrium. The superior vena cava is formed by union of the right and left brachiocephalic (innominate) veins.
Does holding your breath affect your veins?
I happen to have high blood pressure and mine drops to normal when I hold my breath...though I do not know if this is normal???? Has anybody else held their breath while having their BP monitored? This actually makes sense - and I have tested this once with my own blood pressure. Holding your breath can temporarily reduce your blood pressure. Why? Because when you don't breathe, the carbon dioxide levels in your body build up. You know they're building up when your brain sounds that alarm that says, "Breathe, dummy!" This alarm is actually configured to go off when CO2 levels get too high (not when oxygen levels are low). When your CO2 levels are high, your tissues need to get more oxygen and send excess CO2 back to your lungs to be exhaled. In order to get more oxygen to your tissues, your arteries expand to allow for more blood to get to your tissues, and Viola! - lower blood pressure. Of course this isn't a long term method to lower your blood pressure. In fact, I don't recommend doing this to "fool" the doctor into thinking you're healthy when you're actually not. If your blood pressure is actually too high, it needs to be treated, not masked.... There have been studies recently that suggest taking long, deep breaths during the day can help lower your blood pressure for good because this somehow helps your body process salt from the diet. I would recommend trying to take deeper breaths because I've read of several health benefits from it.
