14 Blood Vessels (Lecture) Flashcards
Named vessels have _____ layers
3
Capillaries have 3 layers Y or N
N
Tunica interna is also called the
Endothelium
Tunica media
smooth muscle
Tunica externa
protective layer of dense connective tissue
Lumen
hallow interior of a vessel
Arteries are divergent or convergent
divergent
Arteries have ___________reserviors.
pressure
Arteries can store pressure genterated by the heart by
stretching
Arteries are not located
superfically they are deep near bones
Metarterioles
path from artery to to vein does not go through capillary first.
Arterioles (vasoconstriction)
microscopic arteries still have 3 layers usally refered to as arteries
Precapillary sphincters
are muscle that control weather blood flow into a capillary or not.
What vessels are the only site for gas exchange in the body
capillaries
capillary beds
large groups of capillaries
capillaries are leaky vessels
by design
what leaks out of capillaries
plasma, O2, CO2, amino acids, glucose
what are most capillaries made of
simple squamous
Venuoles
microscopic veins drain blood out of capillaries
Venoconstriction
when veins contrict
Veins have _________reserviors
volume
what percent of our total blood volume is in veins?
60%
what percent of our total blood volume is in arteries?
18%
We have twice as many ___________
veins than arteries
Veins are located close to?
the surface and deep near bones
Arteries or Veins have valves?
veins that help prevent the backflow of blood
- Accessory pumps
generate pressure and assist the heart in circulating blood
Skeletal muscle is an example of
and accessory pump contracting muscle compress veins
Why are venous clots worse than arteriol
because veins are convergent so the road gets bigger nothing to stop the clot till is gets pushed by the heart into the pulmonary arteries (pulmonary emoblism) bad deal game over.
*Must know blood flow from heart to hands and back
p. 450
*Must know blood flow form feet and back
P.
*Must know blood flow from small intestines and back
P.
*External carotids supply
supply blood to face and neck
*Internal carotids supply
brain and eyes
Carotid sinus
chemoreceptor monitors O2 & CO2 levels
Descending Thoracic Aorta extends
all the way to pelvis
- Celiac artery supplies blood to these organs…
liver gallbladder stomach spleen pancreas
- multiple choice question
which organ is not supplied by the celiac artery
- Superior mesenteric arteries supply blood to
small instestine
- Inferior mesentaric arteries supply blood to
final 1/3 of the large intestine
- Sagittal sinus
drain CSF from brain
External jugulars drain blood from
face and neck
Internal jugulars drain blood from
brain eyes and sinuses
*know which veins are superficial and which are deep
for lecture exam
*Palmar arches S or D
Deep
