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.

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?

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.
