Which of the following has the greatest volume of blood found in the body?
Which of the following has the greatest volume of blood found in the body?
Which of the following has the greatest volume of blood found in the body?
heart
The heart has the largest volume of blood, the left ventricle has to pump blood to the rest of the body, therefore heart pumps about 280 liters in one our, 7200 liters in 24 hour.
Which vessels have the greatest blood flow?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart and can divide into large and small arteries. Large arteries receive the highest pressure of blood flow and are more thick and elastic to accommodate the high pressures.
What is the largest and strongest type of blood vessel?
arteries
Blood vessels carry blood around the body. The 3 main types of blood vessels are: arteries that carry blood pumped from the heart — these are the largest and strongest.
Which Tunica media is the thickest?
Muscular arteries have the thickest tunica media of all vessels.
Do arteries have the thickest tunica media?
Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. This blood is normally oxygenated, with the exception of blood in the pulmonary artery. Arteries typically have a thicker tunica media than veins, containing more smooth muscle cells and elastic tissue.
Which vessels have the thickest Tunica?
Shared Structures
| Table 1. Comparison of Tunics in Arteries and Veins | |
|---|---|
| Arteries | |
| Tunica media | Normally the thickest layer in arteries; Smooth muscle cells and elastic fibers predominate (the proportions of these vary with distance from the heart); External elastic membrane present in larger vessels |
Which is the general pathway of blood flow?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide travels to and from tiny air sacs in the lungs, through the walls of the capillaries, into the blood. Blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs. Blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body.
