Which type of blood vessel carries blood away from the heart?
the choices would be "arteries" or "veins"
The arteries carry away from the heart, the veins carry blood from the capillaries to the heart. So the answer is arteries, hope that helps
Well yes and to add on to what learning time said, Arteries are narrow and have much thicker walls this is due to the fact that the blood is traveling at high pressure in the arteries and the main artery for carrying blood away is the Aorta, so if you remember artery starts with a for away and also that they are made for the high pressurized blood since the heart just pumped it you'll be fine. Veins are wider and have thinner wall since the blood is at a lower pressure and they contain valves to avoid the blood for traveling backwards, the main or major Vein is the Vena Cava. now their are exceptions to this particularly the pulmonary vein and pulmonary artery, those are reversed since the pulmonary artery brings oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart and the pulmonary vein takes oxygen poor blood away from the heart to the lungs.
you all should know you "helped" an hour later I asked and got this question done + the rest of the paperwork and 8 other assignments, and OS has the audacity to ask you to put money into this bs 10/10 would NOT reccomend
Be cool... Have A good Day and thank them for the precious time they spent for your question. Nice to meet You.
useless answers since they were extremely late and after the fact :/
@ispiffy2wice You realize you are not using OS for what it was intended? It is not here to provide direct help on any assignments, but to help you with topics. Maybe next time you can save us all some trouble and use google, or a textbook's index.
It was a question not even related to my homework :)) it was just a question so you can go about ur day thank u for ur useless input x
@iSpiffy2wice If it was just a question and not related to your work in any way, why is it such an issue that you had to wait one hour for a response? Either way, a simple question like that will always get you a faster response if you search via google or a textbook's index.
because when I got referred to this website I was told the answers would be somewhat speedy, they were not x
Unless some moderator or owner of the site told you it would provide speedy answers, it is hardly anyone's fault on here that the answer was not as speedy as advertised. Again though, if it was not for homework and the like how could it possibly be "extremely late and after the fact"? I'll leave this now because this is pointless. You are, in my opinion, lying, and nothing said or done will change my opinion about this or you.
