What is aorta in math?
Aorta is not math its science, Aorta is the largest artery in the human body.
What does asending mean?
Ascending simply means that "x" originates at a lower point than it terminates. For example, the ascending aorta starts from the left ventricle and ends at the arch of the aorta. The left ventricle is inferior to the arch of the aorta, thus that portion of the aorta is considered ascending.
What are the 20 events that occur at the sternal angle?
It is the level of the junction between the sternum body and its manubrium. This joint is a symphysis. There are a few symphyseal joints in the body and they include an early symphysis menti between the two mandibles and a symphysis pubis between the two pubic bones. It represents the plane that separates the superior from the inferior mediastini. It is the plane at which the bifurcation of the trachea. It is the plane of the division of the pulmonary trunk. It is the plane of the arch of aorta. It is plane that contains the ligamentum arteriosum The plane that contains superficial and deep cardiac plexuses At this plane, the ascending thoracic duct escapes from the right to the left. It is the plane of the junction of the 2nd sternocostal articulation. It marks the level of the T4-T5 intervertebral disc. The tracheal carina is deep to the sternal angle. Left recurrent laryngeal nerve recurves below the ligamentum arteriosum. The azygos vein enters the superior vena cava.
The pressure difference between the base of the aorta and the right atrium is the?
circulatory pressure
Pressure in the aorta is greatest during what?
Pressure in aorta is greatest during ventricular systole.
Coronary perfusion pressure?
the difference between aortic diastolic and right atrial diastolic pressure; a determinant of the blood flow to cardiac muscle.
Where is blood pressure the highest?
Aorta
Does the aorta have the lowest blood pressure?
no!
Why does blood pressure in aorta decrease further form heart?
As the blood moves through the aorta, the friction of the walls of the aorta decreases velocity. This velocity decrease results in a decrease in pressure.
Pressure in the aorta will be greatest during?
"systole"
Why must a pressure difference exist between the aorta and the vena cavae?
Pressure must move from one area to another, otherwise no flow will occur. In the case of the human heart, pressure pushes blood from the aorta, through arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venuoles, and finally veins, to the vena cavae, where the blood goes back into the heart to be re-oxygenated.
Why is the aorta so thick-walled?
this is because, due to high thickness of left ventricle blood gets into the aorta with high pressure, and if the aortic wall is not thick, high blood pressure in aorta breaks open wall.
Where is the blood under the most pressure?
Blood is under the most pressure in the aorta- the largest artery in the body originating fro the left ventricle of the heart.
Where is blood pressure is the greatest?
in the arteries
What has a higher blood pressure the aorta or vena cava?
The arterial system generally has a higher pressure than the venous system, so the answer is the aorta. Pressure is lost when the arteries split into capillaries, which have leaky walls.
