Question 3

Arterioles

Answer 3

Question 6

Veins

Answer 6

Low pressure vessels that return blood to heart

Question 7

Tunica intima

Answer 7

Endothelium and subendothelium on veins plus internal elastic membrane of arteries

Question 8

Answer 8

Smooth and elastic muscle fibers, arteries also have and external elastic membrane

Question 9

Answer 9

Collagen fibers with vaso vasorum

Question 10

Answer 15

Ligamentum arteriosum

Question 16

Right and left coronary artery

Answer 16

Comes of ascending aorta branch and supplies myocardium of heart

Question 17

Brachiocephalic trunk

Comes of aorta arch and supplies right carotid artery and right subclavian artery

Question 18

Answer 18

Comes off aortic arch and supplies left side of head and neck

Question 19

Left subclavian artery

Answer 19

Comes off aortic arch and supplies left upper limb

Question 20

Hepatic portal circulation

Answer 20

Blood vessels of hepatic portal system drain digestive viscera, spleen and pancreas and deliver this blood to liver for processing thru hepatic portal vein

Question 21

Ductus venosus function

Answer 21

Carries blood into right atrium of heart

Question 22

Foramen ovale function

Answer 22

Shunts blood from right atrium to left atrium

Question 23

Ductus arteriosus function

Answer 23

Blood that doesn’t enter the right ventricle is pumped out of the pulmonary trunk and encounters this shiny connecting the pulmonary trust and aorta
