Frage 25
Frage
The caval hiatus occurs in the [blank_start]central tendon[blank_end]. This means that during diaphragmatic [blank_start]contraction[blank_end] the walls of the [blank_start]vena cava[blank_end] are pulled apart. This reduces [blank_start]pressure[blank_end] in the vena cava which pulls venous blood up through the abdomen, thus aiding [blank_start]venous return[blank_end].
Antworten
-
central tendon
-
contraction
-
vena cava
-
pressure
-
venous return
