The figure shows blood circulation in humans with labels a to b. Select the option which gives correct identification of label and functions of the part.
Options
- Ab - Capillary-Thin without muscle layer and wall two cell layers thick
- Bc - Vein-Thin walled and blood flows in jerks/spurts
- Cd - Pulmonary vein-Takes oxygenated blood to heart pO ₂=95 mm Hg
- Da - Artery-Thick walled and blood flows evenly
Correct answer
C. d - Pulmonary vein-Takes oxygenated blood to heart pO ₂=95 mm Hg
Step-by-step solution
a- Artery- Carry blood from heart to body parts. It is thick walled and elastic, under high blood pressure. b- Capillary- thin walled, with only one layer, facilitates the diffusion of nutrients, gases, etc., into tissues c- Vein - thin walled, brings blood from body parts to heart, act as low resistance conduct for blood flow. d- Pulmonary vein-take oxygenated blood to heart, p O ₂=95 ~mm Hg . (Ref. to Fig. 14.2) Caution Pulmonary artery takes deoxygenated blood carries oxygenated blood from lungs to from heart to
