What muscle tissue is found in the walls of the stomach uterus and arteries?
There are several things that are found in the walls of the stomach uterus and arteries. The smooth muscle is one of elements that are found in these organs.
What vessels have smooth muscle in their walls?
Those would be they Arteries and arterioles.
Where does the apostrophe go in 'the arteries walls'?
The arteries' walls.
What tissue in arteries and veins permits them to constrict?
Smooth muscle contained with the tunica media layer of their walls.
Contrast the structure of veins and arteries for thickness of muscle and elastic tissue?
The more pressure it uses, the thicker the walls will be. Veins have very low pressure which means they have thin walls and vice/versa for arteries which have a higher pressure and thicker walls than veins.
What artery wall contains many smooth muscle cells?
The walls of all the arteries are made up of smooth muscle cells.
Name the blood vessel that carries blood from the muscle?
The Arteries
Do veins have thick elastic walls?
No, arteries have thicker walls because blood pumps through the arteries around the body, therefore blood pumps through arteries which a high pressure so thick walls are needed. Blood goes through veins with a lower pressure as they lead back to the heart to be oxygenated.
Which of the following is a difference between arteries and veins?
artery walls have more elastic tissue and smooth muscle than veins,
Name three blood vessels?
the three blood vessels are the Veins capillaries Arteries the arteries.
How do venous pressures compare to arterial pressures?
Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries. Veins are not exposed to such force and get their pressure via muscle pumps.Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries. Veins are not exposed to such force and get their pressure via muscle pumps.
Why do arteries have thicker walls then veins?
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
