List the four types of arteries that occur in a long bone, and
what portions of the bone each artery supplies.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

Blood is a connective tissue that transports oxygen throughout the body from the lungs and delivers carbon dioxide from body tissues to the lungs for gas exchange. Deoxygenated blood collected in the heart from body tissues through veins will be pumped to the lungs through the pulmonary artery.

Blood will be oxygenated by exchanging carbon dioxide with oxygen in the lung capillaries. From the lungs, oxygenated lungs will be carried to the left atrium of the heart. Upon atrial contraction, blood empties into the left ventricles through the bicuspid valve. From left ventricles oxygenated blood will be pumped to different body parts through the aorta and arteries.
