How does the pulsating blood pressure in the largest arteries relate to their structure?
It reveals their elasticity. When the heart contracts and forces blood into the large arteries near the heart, they stretch to accommodate the greater blood volume (systolic pressure). Then, as the blood continues on in the circuit, their walls recoil, keeping pressure on the blood which keeps it moving (diastolic pressure).
Is blood pressure higher in capillaries in arteries?
Arteries, becuase they are directly pumped by the heart while veins are pumped some by your heart and some by muscle movement. Arteries have thicker walls as well to cope with the greater pressure.
Which part of the heart contracts and forces oxygen-rich blood throughout the body?
ventricle
What happens to your artery when you feel a pulse?
During diastole, or the resting part of the heartbeat, there is a minimum amount of pressure on arteries. When the heart pumps (systole) it forces the blood out of the ventricle and into the artery. Arteries are elastic, so when this blood passes through it, it causes the artery to expand from the increased pressure. It is this expansion as the bolus of blood rushes forward that you feel in a pulse.
Please explain the hydrostatic skeleton in sea anemone and earthworm.?
sea anemone possess hydrostatic skeleton . Its cavity is filled with seawater to extend its body and tentacles . The sea anemone closes its mouth and contracts its muscle fibres that are arranged in circles around its body . The contraction of these circular muscles put pressure on liquid of the body cavity . This pressure forces the body to maintain upright position

What produces pressure?
Systolic pressure is the maximum pressure during the hearts pumping cycle. It occurs during left ventricle contraction or sqeezing which forces the blood around the arteries

How does air moves into and out of the lungs?
As the diaphragm contracts or retracts, the interior pressure of the lungs changes. As this pressure change occurs, the air pressure outside of the body remains unchanged. The resulting lack of pressure equality forces the air in or out of the lungs to maintain an equilibrium in the body pressure.
What is the pressure that forces fluid from vessels into tissures?
The pressure that forces fluid from vessels into tissues is called hydrostatic pressure. This pressure is created by the heart pumping blood through the blood vessels, causing fluid to be pushed out of the vessels and into the surrounding tissues.
A muscle shortening such as when the heart forces blood into arteries?
contracture
What forces the blood through the arteries?
Blood is pumped by the heart.

Arteries, becuase they are directly pumped by the heart while veins are pumped some by your heart and some by muscle movement. Arteries have thicker walls as well to cope with the greater pressure.
Which muscle is under the lungs?
The diaphragm. When it contracts, it increases the space in the chest cavity, and also lowers the pressure inside it. This causes air to be sucked into the lungs. Likewise, when it relaxes, the spaces becomes smaller, and the pressure increases and forces the air out.
Why is there no pulse in vains?
There is no pulse in veins due to the relatively low pressure which the blood is under. In arteries, the pulse we feel is just the muscular arterial walls contracting as blood forces itself through at a far greater pressure in relation to venal blood.
How is intrapleural pressure maintained?
Intrapleural pressure is maintained by the opposing forces of the elastic recoil of the lung and chest wall. During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and the intercostal muscles expand the thoracic cage, causing a decrease in intrapleural pressure. This negative pressure helps keep the lungs inflated.
What is transmural pressure?
Transmural perfusion pressure represents the amount of pressure in the coronary arteries that supply the layers of the heart muscle (the TRANSMURAL part). The formula is: Aortic diastolic pressure - LVEDP (L Ventricle End Diastolic Pressure). Keep in mind the coronaries ONLY receive blood during diastole because of the twisting forces applied on the heart during systole.
