Which blood vessels carry blood back towards the heart? a.) ventricles b.) arteries c.) veins d.) capillaries What are the subclavian veins? Compare arteries and veins using two of the following parameters: general appearance, direction of blood flow, and pressure What are the vessels that c...
Arteries are vessels that carry blood ___ from the heart. Why would the heart of a smoker have to beat harder? Why are heparinized needles not used to prevent clotting of hemolymph? Answer the following question. Why do capillaries have a higher internal pressure than the surrounding extracellu...
Blood vessels are elastic and muscular tubes that carry blood in animals. The study of blood vessels is calledangiology. (angeion= vessel,logos= study) Arteries Arteries refer to the blood vessels which carry blood from the heart to the various parts of the body. All the arteries carry oxyge...
Arteries and veins are structurally different and have long been functionally defined by the direction of blood flow that they carry. However, a growing body of evidence indicates that the identity of the endothelial cells that line these vessels is determined in the developing embryo, before circul...
The innervation of the myocardium and coronary arteries is a complex interplay between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, both of which play pivotal roles in regulating coronary blood flow, myocardial contractility, and cardiac function. As early as 1926, Woollard highlighted the abundan...
carry oxygenated blood retrograde toward the ventral aorta, where vessels unite on the midline of the isthmus to form a single vessel, commonly termed the hypobranchial artery. The coronary artery forms as a branch of the hypobranchial artery, anterior to thepericardium, which goes on to supply...

Those devices which include a filter mechanism will remove embolic material from blood, and thereby prevent occurrence of ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction or systemic embolus. Embolic material in this setting is any constituent of blood, or atheromatous material and superimposed thrombus, which may...
A method for the treatment of a stenosis or an occlusion in a blood vessel is disclosed in which a main catheter is first delivered to a site proximal to the occlusion. The main catheter may include a
