Introduction:
The cardiovascular system of the body is responsible for transporting the oxygen and the nutrients to all the cellular compartments and cells of the body. This system comprises the blood vessels and the heart. The blood vessels comprise the arteries, veins, and the capillaries. The arteries are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart. The veins carry the blood toward to the heart.

- In the picture of the angiogram, the structure labled "A" is the thoracic aorta. What artery is labeled "B"? -A O brachiocephalic artery O right sublclavian O left subclavian O right common carotid O axillary artery O superior vena cavaarrow_forwardFill in the blanks with the name of the appropriate vascular tunic (intima, media, or externa).__(1) forms the valves of veins__(2) the thickest tunic in veins__(3) the tunic with the largest vasa vasorum__(4) the outer tunic; is mostly connective tissue__(5) contains endothelium__(6) is mostly smooth musclearrow_forwardThe vessels marked (black arrows) in this image are all branches of which of the following arteries? (A) brachiocephalic artery (B) subclavian artery (C) internal thoracic artery (D) axillary artery (E) b rachial arteryarrow_forward
- Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: Which statement does not accurately describe veins? (a) Have less elastic tissue and smooth muscle than arteries, (b) contain more fibrous tissue than arteries, (c) most veins in the extremities have valves, (d) always carry deoxygenated blood.arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: Freshly oxygenated blood is first received by the (a) right atrium, (b) left atrium, (c) right ventricle, (d) left ventricle.arrow_forwardplssssssss helpppppp, Is this a normal coronary artery or not, pls explain why or why not.arrow_forward
- Name the four unpaired arteries that emerge from the abdominal aorta.arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: Peripheral resistance (a) is inversely proportional to the length of the vascular bed, (b) increases in anemia, (c) decreases in polycythemia, (d) is inversely related to the diameter of the arterioles.arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: The structure of a capillary wall differs from that of a vein or an artery because (a) it has two tunics instead of three, (b) there is less smooth muscle, (c) it has a single tunic—only the tunica intima, (d) none of these.arrow_forward
