### Examining Blood Vessels in the Leg**Overview:**The diagram presented below demonstrates a cross-section of a blood vessel located in the leg. The vessel is labeled with points "P" and "Q" to indicate specific locations within the vessel.**Diagram:**The diagram illustrates a cylindrical blood vessel with internal points labeled "P" and "Q". The vessel could represent either an artery or a vein, and the diagram is used to determine both the type of vessel and the direction of blood flow between these two points.**Question:**Based on the diagram, identify the type of blood vessel and the direction in which blood flows within it. The options are provided in the table below:| Option | Type of Vessel | Direction of Flow ||--------|----------------|-------------------|| A | Artery | P to Q || B | Artery | Q to P || C | Vein | P to Q || D | Vein | Q to P |**Answer Options (Multiple Choice):**- C- D- A- B**Guidance:**To answer this question correctly, consider both the typical structure and function of arteries and veins, as well as the direction of blood flow usually associated with these vessels in the body.

The circulatory system of our body consists of blood, heart as well as blood vessels the latter of…

The diagram shows a section through a blood vessel in the leg. Which type of blood vessel is shown, and in which direction does the blood flow? type of vessel direction of flow A artery P to Q B artery Q to P C vein P to Q D vein Q to P

Use the word bank below to complete the following statements: Tissue capillary higher lower oxygen carbon dioxide waste nutrients On the arteriole side of a capillary bed, the capillary hydrostatic pressure is than the blood colloidal osmotic pressure. This causes a net movement of liquid into the This liquid contains a lot of gas and which move down a concentration gradient towards local cells that are continually consuming those resources. On the venule side of the capillary bed, the capillary hydrostatic pressure is than the blood colloidal osmotic pressure, resulting in a net movement of liquid into the . After passing over local tissues, the composition of the liquid has changed, and now contains a lot of gas and Only (write a number and a % sign) of fluid returns to the circulatory system. The remaining portion of fluid is collected by the lymphatic system.
Mark ALL the statements about capillaries that are TRUE. Select one or more: a. Towards the venule end of the capillary, the blood pressure is higher than the osmotic pressure. b. Fluid will leave the capillaries when the osmotic pressure exceeds the blood pressure. c. Capillaries are only one cell layer thick so the blood moves through them at low velocity. d. Capillaries have a total cross-sectional area that is greater than any other class of vessels. e. The blood pressure will decrease as the blood flows through the capillaries from the arterioles.
Trace the path of a red blood cell from the left ventricle to a capillary in the right lung.
