Question
Chapter 27, Problem 6WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The differences between systemic arteries, capillaries, and systemic veins.
Introduction:
Blood is considered to be the most vital body fluid. It helps in the transportation of substances across different body parts. The complex organisms contain a well-defined circulatory system to perform the process of transportation. The circulatory system is composed of different types of blood vessels. Blood is transported inside the body through these blood vessels.

- 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_forwardTrace the flow of blood in a linear sequence beginning at the lungs and proceeding to the left heart and back to the lungs: Lungs to Left heart and back to the lungs Group of answer choices pulmonary artery, left atria, left ventricle, aorta, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venuloes, veins, vena cava, right atria/ventricle, pulmonary vein pulmonary vein, left atria, left ventricle, aorta, arterioles, arteries, capillaries, venuoles, veins, vena cava, right atria/ventricle, pulmonary artery pulmonary artery, left atria, left ventricle, aorta, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, veins, venuoles, vena cava, right atria/ventricle, pulmonary vein pulmonary vein, left atria, left ventricle, aorta, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venuloes, veins, vena cava, right atria/ventricle, pulmonary arteryarrow_forwardMap the flow of oxygenated blood through the heart to general circulation.drag and drop each step onto the list below to show the path of blood flow through the heart.arrow_forward
