Question
Chapter 11, Problem 31SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
Two sets of exceptions to the rule that the arteries and veins carry deoxygenated and oxygenated form of blood, respectively.
Introduction:
The blood vessels are classified into arteries, veins, and the capillaries. They supply blood to the remotest corner of the body. In general, the arteries carry the oxygenated form of blood away from the heart and the veins supply the deoxygenated form of blood toward the heart.

The aorta, the largest artery in the body (in diameter), carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart as it begins the systemic blood flow circuit throughout the body. Owing to the fact that the aorta connects directly to the heart, the blood pressure (BP) inside the aorta is very high. As blood travels further from the heart, the BP gradually decreases. For example, the BP in the aorta is higher than in the brachial artery; the BP in the brachial artery is greater than in the antecubital artery; the BP in the antecubital artery is greater than in the radial artery. Based on the understanding that walls of the aorta are subjected to extreme outward pressure, hypothesize the order of specific tissue types one would expect to find in the aorta (from deep to superficial) and explain your rationale
Which of the following is the correct sequence of blood flow through pulmonary circulation?
Group of answer choices
Right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary veins → left atrium
Left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary veins → right atrium
Right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary veins → left atrium
Left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary veins → right atrium
Left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary veins → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → right atrium

- Blood is pushed out of the heart through a large vessel, called the aorta. The aorta then divides into smaller and smaller blood vessels, eventually reaching vessels called capillaries. Capillaries are so small that oxygen and nutrients can diffuse across the vessel walls and into the tissues of the body, with CO2 and waste diffusing back into the blood. Let's say that the cross-sectional area of the aorta is 1 cm2 = 100 mm2. The blood pumps through the aorta at 100 mm/s but only through the capillaries at 1 mm/s. If each capillary has a cross-sectional area of 20 mm2, how many capillaries must there be in the body? Note: these numbers are not physiologically correct, but were chosen to make the math easier. The blood velocity through the aorta is closer to 300 mm/s. The capillaries have a total cross-sectional area of ~600,000 mm2 (6000 cm2), with a blood flow rate closer to 0.2 mm/s.arrow_forwardMedical evidence shows that a small change in the radius of an artery can indicate a large change in blood flow. For example, if one artery has a radius only 5% larger than another, the blood flow rate is 1.22 times as large. Further information is given in the table below. Increase in radius Times greater bloodflow rate 5% 1.22 10% 1.46 15% 1.75 20% 2.07 (a) Use the average rate of change to estimate how many times greater the blood flow rate is in an artery that has a radius 8% larger than another. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)1.364 times greater(b) Explain why if the radius is increased by 8% and then we increase the radius of the new artery by 8% again, the total increase in the radius is 16.64%. x + 8% of xx + 8/100 X xx + 0.08x = 1.08x1.08x + 8% of (1.08x)1.08x + 8/100 X (1.08x)1.08x + 0.0864x = 0.1664x = 16.64% (c) Use parts (a) and (b) to answer the following question: How many times greater is the blood flow rate in an artery that is 16.64%…arrow_forwardYou wanted to prepare a fish dish for your grandfather that he loves the dried salted Codfish.
