Question
Chapter 22, Problem 2RFT
Summary Introduction
To review:
Match the term thrombus with the most closely related descriptions given below:
deliver blood to the head
transport blood to the body’s skeletal muscles and internal organs
arteries whose smooth muscles do not contract
stationary blood clot
network of capillaries
arteries that supply a capillary network
supply blood to the upper limbs
small air sacs
supply blood to the lower limbs
collect blood from the kidneys
Introduction:
Age is the major factor that controls the function of the heart and blood vessels along with the blood composition. The capacity of the cardiovascular system decreases as the individual becomes older. For example, in old age, the hematocrit decreases and the veins are blocked due to the formation of blood clot called thrombus.

Students have asked these similar questions
(a)Define formed elements and list their three major categories. (b) Which is least numerous?(c ) Which comprise(s) the buffy coat in a hematocrit tube?
1) unoxygenated blood leaves the right ventricle via the .................. to get to the lungs?
A blockage in the right internal carotid does not necessarily cause a loss of blood supply to the brain. (a) Identify the area of the brain supplied by the right internal carotid, and name the vessels that would supply blood to this area if there is a blockage in the right internal carotid artery. (b) Is a thrombus in the external carotid life-threatening? Why or why not?
