1. If an embolus breaks off in a systemic vein in the leg, it would be able to pass through: may end up in coronary artery & cause a heart attack in cerebral artery - cause a stroke or pulmonary blood vessels -> pulmonary embolism 2.

Trace the pathway of blood from the left ventricle to a cell in the right tibialis anterior muscle and back to the right atrium. Left ventricle - ascending aorta - aortic arch - capillary bed of right tibialis anterior muscle - right atrium.
Supreeta N.
As blood goes from the left ventricle through the arteries and veins of the human body, both its speed and pressure change. The arteries and arterioles can either constrict, reducing the area, or dilate, increasing the area, in response to certain conditions. Both of these changes can affect blood flow and blood pressure. An artery can also develop a permanent narrow area (stenosis) or a permanent wide area (aneurysm). Both of these changes can have significant health consequences. Suppose that in response to some stimulus a small blood vessel narrows to $90 \%$ of its original diameter. If there is no change in the pressure across the vessel, what is the ratio of the new volume flow rate to the original flow rate? A. 0.66 B. 0.73 C. 0.81 D. 0.90
