What is the tube called that the blood travels through?
Can be veins, can be arteries, can be capillaries, can be the aorta..
Which blood vessel carries blood toward the capillaries?
The veins carry blood toward the capillaries.
What blood vessel supplies the descending aorta with blood?
blood travels from the ascending aorta to the aortic arch to the descending aorta
Does velocity of blood decreases as blood flows from the aorta towards the capillaries?
Yes
Is the blood pressure gradient from the aorta to the capillaries greater than the the blood pressure gradient from the venules to the right atrium?
Yes, the highest in the aorta and larger elastic arties, and decreses as the arteries branch and blood travels farther from the heart.Blood pressure drops significantly in the arterioles and steadily decreses through capillaries, venules, and veins, and drops to zero in the right atrium.
What blood vessels function to carry oxygenated blood from the aorta to the smaller arterioles and capillaries?
R.b.c
What blood vessel carries oxygen to every cell in your body?
Capillaries
What is blood carried to the heart by?
Unoxygenated blood travels to the heart though the veins to be pumped to your lung capillaries. At you lung capillaries the blood becomes oxygenated and then goes back to the heart to pump oxygenated blood to the rest of your body. the capillaries blood travels though you arteries.
What blood vessels carry blood toward the capillaries?
arterioles
When blood leaves the heartit first enters?
The blood leaves the heart through the aorta, the largest artery in the body. From there, it travels to smaller arteries and arterioles, ultimately reaching the capillaries where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged with tissues.
Which part of the heart pumps blood into aorta?
The left ventricle of the heart pumps blood into the aorta. From there, it travels to all body tissues.
When is the speed of blood slowest in blood vessels?
Veins are where the blood flow is the slowest. Blood flow velocity decreases from the aorta to the arteries to capillaries.
