Which is the main structural feature that distinguishes elastic arteries from muscular arteries? Answers A -E A Elastic arteries have a significantly higher quantity of elastic fibres in the tunica media than muscular arteries B Muscular arteries do not have any elastic fibres, whereas elastic arteries are rich in elastic fibres Muscular arteries have muscular cells only in the media, whereas elastic arteries do not have any Muscular arteries have muscular cells throughout their wall, whereas elastic arteries do not have any E Muscular arteries have vasa vasorum, elastic arteries do not

How do arteries differ from veins? a. Arteries have thicker wall layers to accommodate the changes in pressure from the baa b. Arteries carry blood. c. Arteries have thinner wall layers and valves and move blood by the action of skeletal muscla d. Arteries are thin wafted and are used for gas exchange.
PREDICT A patients mitral valve (left AV valve) does not close completely at the beginning of ventricular systole. What effect would this have on the cardiac cycle?
When it comes to arteries and veins, do veins have? a) a tunica media that is missing in arteries b) thicker walls than arteries c) more smooth muscles than arteries d) valves, this is lacking in arteries
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion there are many patients who have atrial fibrilation who don't even know they have it or only show symtoms some of the time and dont attribute them to a heart condition. when would they be most likely to experience symtoms( palpitation, shortness of beath, chest pain)? why?
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.
A blood vessel adapted to withstand a highpulse pressure would be expected to havea. an elastic tunica media.b. a thick tunica interna.c. one-way valves.d. a flexible endothelium.e. a rigid tunica media
If fibrin is present in blood which is a protein involved in blood clotting then why does not its clots blood in blood vessels? Give reasons.
In the nineteenth century, Poiseuille’s law was experimentally deduced byJ. L. M. Poiseuille, who was interested in understanding the flow of blood inhorses’ arteries.We nowknowthat Poiseuille’s lawis a poorway of modelingblood flow in arteries. In your own words, give at least three reasons whyPoiseuille’s lawis not appropriate for arterial blood flowmodeling, and brieflydiscuss why this is the case.
Comparing and contrasting arteries and veins, veins havea. thicker walls.b. a greater amount of smooth muscle than arteries.c. a tunica media, but arteries do not.d. valves, but arteries do not.e. All of these are correct
Plsssssss helppppppp, what diseases might have contributed to this patients cause of death? -sudden cardiac arrest -valve defects Atrial and ventricular septal defects -hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
