Question
Chapter 14, Problem 13RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The true statement corresponding to an arteriovenous shunt in the skin.
Introduction:
Arteriovenous is a condition in which the compartments located at the venous side of the heart get entangled with the coronary arteries. Arteries are responsible for taking the oxygen-rich blood to different body parts, but when they get abrupt, the supply of oxygen gets affected.
