Which one of the following statements is incorrect? There are no valves in arteries. the walls of veins are thin. the walls of capillaries are thick. veins carry blood into the heart.
Describe four (4) anatomical AND physiological differences between an artery and a vein. Remember that "anatomical" means structure, and "physiological" means function. (That means explain, not just the structural differences, but also the "why.")
Describe what happens with the blood flow if each valve stop working. For example, first describe what happens with the blood flow if the tricuspid valve stops working, next describe what will happens with the blood flow when the pulmonary valve stop working, and the same for other valves.
The following graph represent the blood vessel network. Select all correct answers. Artery (A) Point 000 Arterioles Capillaries (B) Point Venules Blood velocity in point B is bigger than point A Blood pressure and velocity are minimum at point A Blood velocity in point A is bigger than point B Vein The total cross section area is maximum at point B Total cross section area in point B is bigger than point A
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.
For each row, select the correct bolded term for arteries and veins... for example is the pressure in arteries HIGH or LOW? The pressure in veins is UICH ar OW? For Blank 5 NUte. une pressure and flow of each vessel (with a *) cause the lower row features. For example, vessel structure is adapted to compensate for high pressure or low pressure. Arteries Veins *Pressure- high or low? *Pressure- fluctuates or constant? *Flow- good or poor? Diameter- wide or narrow? Tunica media- thick/thin? Valves present- yes or no? Skeletomuscle pump improves flow – Yes or no? Some of these vessels have a lot of elastin - Yes or no?
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.
In atrial fibrillation, the atria do not contract correctly, and not all blood exits this chamber. The blood pools in the atria, and this can promote blood clot formation. If a blood clot forms in the left atrium, it can get pumped from the left ventricle, get caught in a capillary bed and cause a(n): pulmonary embolus 2) inferior vena cava filter 3) deep vein thrombosis 4) cerebral vascular accident (CVA)
Trace the flow of blood through from the inferior vena cava all the way to the aorta. Be sure to include all the structures.
