Question

g Blood flows through a coronary artery that is partially blocked by deposits along the artery wall. Through which part of the artery is the flow speed largest

Answer 1

Answer: The question is incomplete and the options are not given but here are the options gotten from another websites.

A. Narrow part.

B. Wide part

C. The flow rate are the same in both part.

The correct option is C.

The flow rate are the same in both part.

Explanation:

The flow rate are the same in both because when there is partial blockage at the artery wall, the blood flow speed will reduce or stop, therefore the blockage will be a barrier or hindrance to free blood flow and therefore, both the narrow part and wide part will receive the same level of blood flow because of the blockage and this blockage result in restricted blood flow which in one way or the other hinder oxygen supply to the heart. The blockage deposits can cause a thickened artery wall and when blood flow is restricted it causes chest pain and if it stop it can cause heart attack. Blockage deposits can be as a result of artery wall damage.
