What happens to the heart when an artery gets smaller?
You did not specify which artery. If it is one supplying the heart, it will affect the heart's efficiency. If it becomes completely clogged, part of the heart muscle will die unless the blockage is relieved. If it is an artery to a limb or organ, the heart will have to work harder, and the amount of blood it can push through the artery will slowly become lessened. Eventually, there will be problems at the other end, and perhaps with the heart as well.
Can a blocked artery cause hand swelling?
Yes it can. I have just had a stent inserted to open an artery which is being pressed nearly closed by an inoperable tumor. The swelling is gong down slowly.
When blood leaves the heart and travels through the circulation does the pressure change?
Yes; the blood pressure tends to be highest closest to the heart (actually, the highest pressure in the circulatory system is in the left ventricle) and slowly drops as it reaches the capillaries. However, there is still some blood pressure at the capillaries, which is why the serum can be forced across the capillary wall into the extracellular fluid to exchange nutrients. There is also some blood pressure in the venous system, although it is much lower than the arterial side.

The carotid artery goes through the neck. What is true about the blood in this artery?
Cholesterol plaque may slowly build up in the carotid artery wall, over decades.

What does sound travel slowly through?
Sound travels slower through materials that are denser and have a higher elasticity. For example, sound travels more slowly through water, glass, and solids compared to air because the particles are more tightly packed together, causing sound waves to move more slowly through them.
Why mosquito feeds from a capillary and not from an artery?
Mosquitoes feed from capillaries because the blood flows more slowly in capillaries, making it easier for the mosquito to extract blood. If they were to feed from an artery, the high pressure of the blood flow would make it difficult for the mosquito to access the blood.
Which wave travels more slowly through gasses than solids?
Longitudinal (also know as compression) waves travel more slowly through gasses than solids.
What Type of hemorrage has blood oozing out slowly and is brick red?
Capillary
What makes sound travel slowly?
Tempurature makes sound travel slowly. If it is cold outside sound travels slowly and if it is hot outside sound travels quickly.
What is a cardiac stent good for?
Cardiac stent's are good for if someone has blocked arteries the cardiac stent will restore blood flow through the inner wall of the artery. Stents are sometimes coated with medicine to slowly release in the artery.
Does Light travels more slowly through solid materials?
Yes. The more dense the material the slower light travels. Light travels the slowest in diamond at about a third of its normal speed of 300 000 km /s in a vacuum.
Why does light travels slowly through solids?
In solids, light interacts with atoms and molecules, causing it to be absorbed and re-emitted multiple times. This process slows down the speed of light as it travels through the material.
