(a)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the Posterior interventricular groove of the heart if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
In the circulatory system, the heart is a muscular organ that is used to pump blood through blood vessels.
(b)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in an Anterior neck to the brain if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
In the nervous system, the brain is the central organ that consists of the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum.It controls all the activities of the body.
(c)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the Posterior neck to the brain if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Neck is an anatomical structure of the body that connects the head with the trunk to provide the mobility and movement of the head.

To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the external skull if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Skull is a bone framework that covers the brain and provides support to the structureof the face of all the vertebrates.
(e)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the tip of the fingers of the left hand if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
A finger is a limb, and an organ of manipulation and sensation occurs in the hands of humans and all the living organisms.
(f)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the Anterior compartment of the leg if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Legs are the anatomical structure that is responsible for weight-bearing and locomotion.
(g)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the liver if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Liver is an organ that used to detoxifies various metabolites, synthesizes proteins, and produce biochemical products for digestion in the body.
(h)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the small intestine if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Small intestine is an organ present in the gastrointestinal tract where absorption of nutrients and minerals takes place.
(i)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the urinary bladder if started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Urinary bladder is a hollow muscular organ that collects and stored urine from the kidney. In humans, the urinary bladder can hold 300-500 mL of urine.

- All the blood that passes through the aorta, except the blood that flowsinto the coronary vessels, returns to the heart through the venae cavae.(Hint: The diameter of the aorta is 26 mm, and the diameter of avena cava is 32 mm.) Explain why the resistance to blood flow in theaorta is greater than the resistance to blood flow in the venae cavae.Because the resistances are different, explain why blood flow can bethe same.arrow_forwardThe carotid arteries are the major blood vessels that are in the neck and supply blood to the brain, neck, and 2. Using a textbook as necessary, list the major arteries through these pathways in a human: a. Blood as it travels from the left ventricle to the arcuate artery of the foot. b. Blood as it travels from the brachiocephalic trunk to the right superficial palmar arch. BIUE ET T,arrow_forwardYasmin was diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm which means that part of the wall of the abdominal aorta was ballooning out abnormallyHer physician peformed surgery to correct the aneurysm, and sent a sample of the vessel wall to pathology. The pathology report stated that Yasmin 's tunica media had very few elastic fibers, and her tunica externa had few collagen fibers. How does this explain why she developed the aneurysm?arrow_forward
- In the aorta, Select one: a. the resistance to blood flow is high, but velocity of blood flow is low. b. the velocity of blood flow is high, but blood pressure is low. c. velocity is diminished because the total cross-sectional area is small. d. the blood pressure and blood velocity are both high. e. the resistance to blood flow and the blood pressure are both low.arrow_forwardDr. J was performing a cardiac bypass on her 53-year-old male patient whose anterior interventricular artery was narrowed near its origin. For this procedure, she chose to use the left internal thoracic artery, leaving its origin intact and cutting its distal connection to attach it to the anterior interventricular artery just beyond the narrowed segment. This successfully restored blood flow to the anterior portion of the heart. What path does the blood take through this diverted route? Aortic arch to axillary artery to internal thoracic artery. O Aortic arch to the left subclavian to internal thoracic artery Aortic arch to left subclavian artery to pericardiacophernic artery to internal thoracic artery Aortic arch to brachiocephalic artery to internal thoracic artery Aortic arch to internal thoracic arteryarrow_forwardMark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement a. Arteries are the exchange vessels of the cardiovascular system. b. The tunica intima is composed of a sheet of endothelium, connective tissue, and the internal elastic lamina. c. The tunica media consists of smooth muscle cells innervated by vasomotor nerves. d. Muscular arteries control blood flow at the tissue level. e. Veins have smaller lumens, more elastic fibers, and more smooth muscle than arteries.arrow_forward
- In coronary bypass surgery, the internal thoracic artery can be used as the bypass vessel by suturing its distal end onto the obstructed coronary artery in the heart wall. Explain why using this vessel is superior to using the great saphenous vein of the leg.arrow_forwardThe ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk develop from the embryonic:- a. bulbus cordis only. b. truncus arteriosus only. c. horns of the sinus venosus. d. conotruncus. e. ventriclearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true about the SA (sinoatrial) node? a. The action potential created by the pacemaker cells of the SA node directly stimulates the contractile cells of both the atria and ventricles. b. The rate of spontaneous depolarization of nodal cells is the fastest in the SA node. c. Pacemaker cells in the SA node form a pathway between the SA and AV nodes. d. The pacemaker cells, which establish the heart rate, are located only in the SA node.arrow_forward
- Velocity of blood flow is the slowest in a. muscular arteries. b. capillaries. c. veins. d. elastic arteries.arrow_forwardAll of the following are part of the cardiac conduction system except the: a. chordae tendineae b. Purkinje fibers c. sinoatrial node d. atrioventricular bundlearrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes an artery? Select one: a. thin-walled, and supplied with valves and nerves b. thin-walled, elastic and supplied with nerves c. thick-walled, elastic and supplied with nerves d. thick-walled, elastic and supplied with valvesarrow_forward
