Question
Chapter 5.4, Problem 3CYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for the presence of valves in the veins.
Introduction:
The human circulatory is composed of cardiovascular and lymphatic systems. The blood vessels help in transporting and circulating the blood throughout the body. The arteries carry the oxygenated blood, and the veins carry deoxygenated blood. The capillaries are the thin branches of the blood vessels that perform the exchange of materials between the tissues and cells.

- List the functions of the cardiovascular system.arrow_forwardSeveral years ago the deaths of several airline travelers led to warnings about economy-class syndrome. The idea is that economy-class passengers dont have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods on flightsconditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in the planes cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a clot will form.arrow_forwardState the main functions of venules and veins.
