Blood is transported throughout the body through both arteries and veins, but a significant difference between the two is the pr

esence of valves in veins. Some people develop chronic venous disease (CVD), which initially causes higher venous blood pressure and vein dilation, resulting in weakened vein valves. What do you predict would happen as the valve damage progresses?
A) Blood would leak backwards through the damaged valves due to gravity, causing lower leg swelling.

B) Veins would thicken and constrict, causing a restriction in blood flow, and leading to arterial leakage.

C) Veins would carry a both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood away from the legs, causing oxygen deficiency.

D) Blood flow would increase through the veins since the blood would not be impeded by valves.

Answer:

A. Blood would leak backwards through the damaged valves due to gravity, causing lower leg swelling.

Explanation:

The passage of blood is always in a single direction in the vein due to the presence of valves in the veins.

Any kind of vein injury or vein rupture, causes the valves in the veins to not function in an appropriate manner. The injury might result in inappropriate opening and closing of these valves. The inappropriate functioning of the valves causes the blood to flow backwards. This will eventually lead to blood pooling and putting more pressure on the lower leg veins. hence, there would be swelling in the lower legs.

The Photosynthesis process is divided into two stages, light and dark stages. Glucose is always produced at the dark stage of the photosynthesis process. The light stage of the process occur during the day. In the light stage, the plant capture energy from the sun by the help of chlorophyll, the energy obtained in the day is used during the dark period to produce glucose.
