Why would blood vessel radius have a larger effect on the body than vessel length?
Blood vessel radius has a larger effect on the body because changes in radius significantly impact blood flow resistance, which affects blood pressure regulation and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. Vessel length, on the other hand, has a smaller direct effect on blood flow resistance and overall cardiovascular function.
A vessel that moves blood away from the heart?
Arteries Veins carry blood to the heart. The general notion that all arteries carry oxygenated blood is incorrect. Because the pulmonary arteries and umbilical arteries carry unoxygenated blood.
What vessels carry blood to the cardiac muscle?

Which blood vessel carries blood from the organs to the heart?
The type of blood vessel is the artery. It carries blood away from the heart. Capillaries are positioned next to cells, which make up tissue which makes up an organ. They are positioned here so the exchange of substances can take place. Your answer would be the arteries and capillaries.
What returns oxygen-poor blood to the heart?

What sends oxygenated blood from heart to body?
The circulatory system which includes the heart and arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body cells.
Does the blood vessel which carry blood from the heart to the lungs contain a lot oxygen?
Well, the lungs are where the oxygen is added to the blood. So, the short answer is 'no.' There may be some oxygen left, but the blood would probably be a deep blueish color. When the oxygen is added the blood turns red.

What is local myogenic spasm?
Muscle Spasm, this would be referring to when a blood vessel is broken, the response to fix it would be vasoconstriction. A myogenic spasm would aid in the loss of blood by briefly constricting the muscle where the broken blood vessel is located.
