Answer:

Varicose veins can best be described as veins cannot prevent the backflow of blood.

Explanation:

Varicose veins are a manifestation of venous insufficiency or peripheral vascular insufficiency.

Veins are blood vessels that, unlike arteries, are not able to contract, so they depend on gravity, muscle contractions and a system of valves to be able to carry blood to the heart.

<u>When the venous valves do not work, the blood is not transported properly, backflow occurs and is retained, producing dilation of the vein walls, which is characteristic of varicose veins</u>. In this case, veins cannot prevent the backflow of blood.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>Varicose veins do not lose their ability to transport blood. </em>
  • <em>Veins cannot be used to transport blood from the heart. </em>
  • <em>Failure to adequately transport waste to the heart does not apply in this case.</em>

You must not drive at excessive speeds. If you double the speed of a car, the force of impact in a crash is
Virty [35]
Four times greater.

Laws of physics state that force will always be the result of the square of the speed. For example, if you tripled the speed the impact would be 9 times.

GrogVix [38]
