What else can I help you with?
Where does the blood flows to after the cappilaries?
After passing through the capillaries, blood flows into venules, which then merge to form veins. Veins carry the blood back to the heart, where it can be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation and then circulated throughout the body again.
Direction of blood flow in the capillaries?
Blood flows from arteries to veins or from arterioles (small arteries) to venules (small veins) in a capillary bed.
Where does blood go when it leaves the capillaries?
Renal vein It is not renal vein. It is venules. renal vein is only at one point of the body, were talking capillaries; which are all over the body.
Blood normally flows from the capillareies directly to what?
Blood normally flows from the capillaries directly to the venules, which are small blood vessels that connect the capillaries to the larger veins in the circulatory system.
Can you find oxygenated blood in venules?
The blood in venules of the systemic circulation is deoxygenated. The blood in pulmonary venules is oxygenated.
What are The venules?
The venules are tiny blood vessels that return blood to the veins. Only 25 percent of a humans blood are contained in the venules.
From capillaries the blood flows into what?
Generally blood from the capillaries flows into venules which lead into larger veins and is then pumped to the heart. However there are a few exceptions where capillaries lead from one artery to another artery, but this only happens in the glomerular capsule of the kidney and the hypothalamus.
What is the order that blood will encounter as it flows from the output side to the input side of the cardiovascular flow circut?
Elastic arteries, muscular arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, medium veins and large veins
What converges to form venules?
Capillaries converge to form venules. After the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products in the capillary beds, the deoxygenated blood collects into small veins known as venules. These venules then combine to form larger veins, ultimately returning blood to the heart.
What are the branches of veins?
venules
What functions do capillaries and postcapillary venules share?
Small postcapillary venules consist entirely of endothelium just like capillaries (the larger venules have smooth muscle and thin externa as well). Also both capillaries and venules have no elastic tissues. Postcapillary venules are extremely porous which makes them more like capillaries then veins, and fluid and WBC's move easily into the bloodstream through these walls.
What is the smallest branches veins?
Venules
