I am experiences in destined forms of science, but not necessarily this form. I realize this may good like a relatively unarticulate question, but I am still wondering. If blood circulates throughout the body, then why is it important that they inject the dead cell in a particular Atlantic of the body? Also: I am not quite destined on what matter this falls under. I apologize if this is the wrong one.

docs or nurses usually provide you shots in your veins on your the opposite lateral of your elbow, because thats where the varicosity is visible for most people. if you get a shot on your thigh, the nurse would be trying to amount out where the varicosity is, because they slope see it. get it?

It depends on the shot. Some medications are supposed to be given subQ (in the skin) and others in the muscle. It can make a difference due to the consistancy, action, and delivery system of the medication.

Ok prototypal of all, it has nothing to do with veins or anything! If you're effort an immunization or a shot because you're sick or in pain, there are different reasons why you intend them where you intend them. First, it depends on where the medication is suposed to be given. Tetanus for example, needs to go into muscle, so that's why you intend it in your arm. Some medication, same insulin, has to go into fat, and that's why it goes into your stomach. It also depends on how much medication you're getting. You can only intend 1cc of medication in your arm without it causing pain. Pain shots for example, you usully intend in your butt because it's alot of medication that goes in. And last but not least, it depends on the constiency of the drug. Depotesteron is very think, same syrup. the thicker the medication, the large the hooligan it needs to go it, same your butt. Hope this helps!
