Q

These very, very small, almost microscopic type of arteries are considered to be the terminal branches of the arteries and deliver blood to the capillaries

A

What are arterioles….

19
Q

With arterioles, they contain the same three layers as arteries, but their composition is different, in that this layer contains more smooth muscle, and less elastic tissues than arteries

A

What is the tunica media or middle layer

20
Q

In arterioles, this layer is composed mostly of elastic tissue?

A

What is the tunica adventitia?

21
Q

These are the smallest vessels of the human body and are neither arteries or veins, but they do contain lumen.

A

What are capillaries?

22
Q

The function of these vessels is to carry oxygenated blood from the arterioles to the venules and to permit exchange of nutrients (O2) and waste (CO2) at the cellular level

A

What are capillaries?

23
Q

These are small veins
that collect blood from the capillaries and drain it into the veins

A

What are Venules?

24
Q

These vessels contain the same layers like arteries and veins, but their composition is different in that the middle layer (tunica media) is composed of just a few smooth cell fibers.

A

What are venules?

25
Q

With venules, this outer layer is only found in the larger venules which are venules that converge or meet to form veins….

A

What is the tunica adventitia layer

26
Q

These are vessels that carry blood towards the heart, and away from the tissues

A

What are veins?

27
Q

With the exception of pulmonary veins, veins generally carry this type of blood.

A

What is deoxygenated blood?

28
Q

These type of vessels have valves to prevent backflow and they contain less pressure than arteries

A

What are veins?

29
Q

These types of vessel, most notably form a superficial return in a deep return in the extremities?

A

What are veins?

30
Q

____ run parallel to arteries and are known to have tributaries.

A

What are veins?

31
Q

Vessels that dump blood into another vessel and in general are known as just something small flowing into something larger….

A

What are tributaries?

32
Q

The_________in veins are thinner than the __________ in arteries, because they contain very little smooth muscle as such the _____ in veins is not as developed as the _______in arteries

A

What is the tunica media?

33
Q

The composition of veins are the same as arteries with the exception of this layer.

A

What is the tunica media?

34
Q

This is the study of vascular system

A

What is Angiology?

35
Q

This is the study of arteries

A

What is arteriology?

36
Q

This is the study of veins

A

What is phlebology?

37
Q

A blood vessel, that splits into two branches

A

What is bifurcation?

38
Q

A blood vessel, that splits into three branches

A

What is trifurcation?

39
Q

A blood vessel, that supplies blood to the walls of the blood vessels

A

What is Vasa vasorum?

40
Q

A vein that accompanies an artery is called this….

A

What is Venae comitantes a.k.a. Venae comes a.k.a. Venue comities

41
Q

An alternative route for blood to reach a tissue or organ is known as this

A

What is anastomosis?

42
Q

The end to end Union on blood vessels, also defined as the union of branches of 2 or more blood vessels,or artery supply blood to the same tissue or Organ is known as this.

A

What is anastomosis?

43
Q

An alternative route of blood vessels to a body part through a secondary channel so as to bypass an obstruction in the main channel….

A

What is collateral circulation?
