Answer:

Option B, may allow bypass of a blocked coronary artery.

Explanation:

Collateral circulation consists of a network of tiny blood vessels which are nit functional under normal conditions. However, they become functional in case of coronary artery disease.  

In coronary artery disease, the coronary arteries narrow down leading to blockage and stopping the flow of blood in the muscles of heart.  

In this condition, the collateral circulatory network allows flow of blood around and within the blocked artery thereby protecting heart tissue from injury

Hence, option B is correct

what's the process in body cells that directly requires oxygen and identify the structure in red blood that transports oxygen to
Elis [28]

Your body cells use oxygen you breath to get energy from the foods you eat. The process is called "Cellular Respiration." This process or function consists of the cell using oxygen to break down sugars in the body. When the cell uses the oxygen to break down sugars, carbon-dioxide is produced and energy is released, thus producing the energy your body needs.


"Hemoglobin" is a protein with Red Blood cells (also referred to as RBC's) that are responsible for the transport of oxygen. The Cardiovascular System consists of the heart and vessels and may also be referred to as the vascular system or the circulatory system. The heart functions as a muscular pump that pushes blood through the vessels to all areas of the body and the vessels function to carry it back to the heart as well. Hence the name "circulatory."
