Veins are considered capacitance vessels because they collect 60-70% of the blood in systemic circulation. Small arteries and arterioles are considered resistance vessels because they represent where pressure is more greatly reduced.

Series of vessels?
A series of vessels typically refers to a connected sequence of structures that transport fluids or materials within a system. This can include blood vessels in the circulatory system, vessels in the lymphatic system, or vessels used in industrial processes like pipelines or plumbing. The vessels are designed to efficiently and effectively channel the flow of substances from one point to another.
What is the windkessel vessel?
The windkessel vessel is a model used in physiology to describe the buffering function of the arteries in dampening the pulsatile flow of blood from the heart, creating a more continuous flow in the circulation. It helps to reduce fluctuation in blood pressure, ensuring more consistent blood flow to the tissues.
Can a metallic sphere of radius 1 cm hold a charge of 1 coulomb?
Yes, a metallic sphere of radius 1 cm can hold a charge of 1 coulomb. The amount of charge a conductor can hold is not dependent on its size but rather on its capacitance. For a spherical conductor, the capacitance (C) is directly proportional to the radius (r), so a larger radius would be able to hold more charge for the same potential difference.
A person who instructs or teaches is called?
A person who instructs or teaches is called a teacher or instructor.
What is a Uneducated and predujiced person called?
An uneducated and prejudiced person can be called ignorant or closed-minded.
Are arteries often referred to as capacitance vessels?
No. Capacitance vessels refer to site where most volume of blood is found. Veins are capacitance vessels.
What are conductance vessels?
Conductance vessels distribute blood to and from the tissues. Arterial vessels also damp the pulse prssure, and veins contribute to venous capacitance.
Is systemic veins considered capacitance vessels?
yes - it means that they store/hold a lot of blood.
What blood vessels have the greatest capacitance ad serve as a reservoir for blood volume?
veins and venules
What is the difference between capacitance and stray capacitance?
Capacitance is an ability to store an electric charge. "If we consider two same conductors as capacitor,the capacitance will be small even the conductors are close together for long time." this effect is called Stray Capacitance.
What is the opposite of capacitance?
The reciprocal of capacitance is called electrical elastance, the (non-standard, non-SI) unit of which is the daraf.
Definition of a capacitance in mosfet?
Capacitance in mosfet is of three types: gate capacitance diffusion capacitance routing capacitance Gate capacitance: limits the speed of the device t which it can be operated Diffusion capacitance: It is the capacitance due to charge carriers between drain and source. Routing capacitance: It is the capacitance of the metal which is deposited on the top of oxide layer.
What is Power that is applied to an entire circuit consisting of resistance capacitance and inductance is called?
The unit of power measured is watt, irrespective of resistance, capacitance or inductance of the circuit.
What are the smallest blood vessels called?
The smallest blood vessels are called capillaries.
What is mechanism of action of prazosin?
Prazosin blocks alpha-1 receptors (post synaptic) reversibly, permitting vasodilation of both resistance (arterial) and capacitance (veinous) vessels.
Why transition capacitance called so?
Transition capacitance is the capacitance that is accumulated between two terminals as an electrical charge is carried between them. In a diode, this is the diffusion from anode to cathode of a diode in forward bias mode.
What vessels in the respiratory system are called the resistance vessels?
Bronchioles
