Blood vessel

main types of blood vessels in the systemic system are arteries, arterioles, capillaries, veins and venules. In this experiment, the main blood vessels that were explored in depth were the arteries and the veins. An artery is a muscular or elastic tube that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues of the body. The only exception to this is the pulmonary, which carries oxygen to the lungs for oxygenation and removal of excess carbon dioxide. A vein is a type of blood vessel that transports

1. Discuss the different types of blood vessels. Include the different layers composing blood vessels (remember to include tissue types) in your discussion. Blood vessels start to develop during the embryonic stage and continue through the life span. There are more than 66,000 miles of vessels carrying blood through the body. Blood vessels consist of arteries, capillaries, and veins. The walls of the arteries and veins consist of three separate layers called the tunica externa (adventitia), tunica

circulation transport deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. During pulmonary circulation blood picks up oxygen and returns to the left side of the heart. The right atrium and the right ventricle support the pulmonary circulation loop. The systemic circulation carries highly oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to all of the tissues of the body. During systemic circulation it then removes wastes from body tissues and returns deoxygenated blood to the right side of the

Brain aneurysms are caused by weak blood vessels that balloon and fill with blood which can fatally rupture. Once an aneurysm has ruptured, emergency surgery is needed to prevent the patient from suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a fatal type of stroke. The insertion of a detachable embolic coil can prevent rupturing of aneurysms and the need for emergency surgery. A technical study was conducted which used an experimental model constructed in the necks of swine to simulate a specific type of

Circulation 1. Compare and contrasts the anatomy and physiology of blood vessels: arteries, veins and capillaries. Why are these differences significant in the overall function of the circulatory system? Please be specific. The arteries are thicker and more elastic because of the fast pumping of blood that leaves the heart to other organs to the body, as where the veins are small due to the low blood flow because of the slow movement from the capillaries to the veins not like the forceful pumping

Burst blood vessels can appear in two different forms. One is a purplish mark that looks like a bruise. The other one appears as a red spreading of cells. These popped blood vessel can appear anywhere on the body. Spider veins or thread veins are other names for them. They usually tend to heal on their own, but sometimes there can be things that make the process go a little faster. What Causes Popped Blood Vessel in Foot? Popped blood vessels are usually caused by trauma, malnutrition, certain

the heart and blood vessels, also known as heart and blood vessel disease, has many problems that are mostly directly related to dangerous blood vessel disease. Dangerous blood vessel disease is a condition that develops when plaque builds up in the walls of the (blood vessels from the heart/busy roads). The plaque narrows the (blood vessels from the heart/busy roads) making it hard for blood to flow through. If a blood clot forms, it can cause a heart attack or stroke due to the blood not flowing

Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of blood vessels, and the magnitude of this force depends on the cardiac output and the resistance of the blood vessels. When the systolic blood pressure (SBP) which is the pressure as the heart pumps blood around the body is 140 mm Hg or more, or a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) which is the pressure as the heart relaxes and refills with blood, is 90 mm Hg or more, and the individual is taking antihypertensive medication, it is

is an inflammatory disorder which affects the wall of blood vessels in the skin. It may be classified based on the type of vessel involved, as small vessel, medium-vessel and large vessel vasculitis. The inflamed vessel wall undergoes destruction by the inflammatory infiltrate, resulting in any of the following: hemorrhage from the disrupted blood vessel aneurysm of the weakened wall hyperplasia of the intimal and medial layers leading to vessel narrowing ischemia or infarction of the skin supplied
