away
Three types of blood vessels
- Arteries and arterioles
- Veins and venules
- Capillaries
Bring oxygen-rich blood and nutrients away from
the heart to the tissues and organs
Arteries and arterioles
Major role in nourishing organs with blood and
nutrients
. Arteries and arterioles
Major role of Arteries and arterioles
nourishing organs with blood and
nutrients
Carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart and
start again in superior vena cava for
reoxygenation
Veins and venules
Always under high pressure
Arteries
Abundance of elastic tissue and less smooth
muscle
Arteries
● Presence of elastin in the large blood vessels
Arteries
Arteries:
Presence of ____ in the large blood vessels
elastin
enables these vessels to increase in
size and alter their diameter
elastin
Smaller than arteries but bigger than capillaries
Arterioles
Connect arteries and capillaries
Arterioles
Thin-walled and are less elastic
Veins
● Pressure is low
Veins
Can accommodate a large volume of blood
veins
One-way valves inside veins that allow for blood
flow, toward the heart, in a forward direction
Veins
Venous blood vessels analogous in size with the
arterioles
venules
Connects veins and capillaries
venules
Nearly _____ of the circulating blood volume is
contained in the venous system.
¾
Tiny blood vessels containing structures that
Capillaries
Connect arterioles to venules
Capillaries
Smallest and most abundant form of blood vessel
in the body
Capillaries
Allow gas exchange, nutrient transfer, and waste
removal between blood and tissue fluids
Capillaries
Three Layers of Blood Vessels
● An inner layer (vascular intima),
● A middle layer (vascular media), and
● An outer layer (vascular adventitia)
inner layer is aka
vascular intima
middle layer is aka
vascular media
outer layer is aka
vascular adventitia
Provided the interface between circulating blood
and the body tissues
VASCULAR INTIMA
Innermost lining of blood vessels which is a
monolayer of the metabolically active endothelial
cells (ECs
VASCULAR INTIMA
Single layer of squamous endothelial cells that
line the interior surface of blood vessels and
lymphatic vessels
ENDOTHELIUM
T/F: Endothelium has a very thick membrane that lies inside the heart of blood vessels
F; THIN
ENDOTHELIUM Releases substances that control ______ and _____ and produce ______
that control blood clotting immune functions and
platelet adhesion
vascular relaxation
contraction
enzymes
Are small proteins produced by the endothelial
cells in a variety of tissues, where they act as
modulators of vasomotor tone, cell proliferation,
and hormone production.
ENDOTHELINS
ENDOTHELINS are produced by the ________
endothelial cells
3 Members of the Endothelin Family
Endothelin-1
Endothelin-2
Endothelin-3
Is the only family member produced in endothelial
cells and is ______ also produced in vascular smooth
muscle cells
Endothelin-1; endothelial cells
Is produced predominantly within the _____ and _____, with smaller amounts produced in the
myocardium, placenta, and uterus.
Endothelin-2; kidney and intestine
Has been found in high concentrations in the
_____ and may regulate important functions, such
as proliferation and development in neurons and
astrocytes.
Endothelin-3; brain
T/F: Endothelin-3 is also found throughout the
gastrointestinal tract and in the lung and kidneys.

WHAT ARE THE THREE PROPERTIES OF THE VASCULAR INTIMA THAT INITIATE AND REGULATE HEMOSTASIS AND FIBRINOLYSIS
● Anticoagulant
● Procoagulant
● FIbrinolytic
Terms under anticoagulant property
Prostacyclin
Nitric oxide
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI)
Thrombomodulin
a platelet inhibitor and a
vasodilator, is synthesized through the eicosanoid
pathway and prevents unnecessary or
undesirable platelet activation in intact vessels
Prostacyclin
synthesized in ECs, vascular
smooth muscle cells, neutrophils, and
macrophages, induces smooth muscle relaxation
and subsequent vasodilation, inhibits platelet activation, and promotes angiogenesis and
healthy arterioles
Nitric oxide
controls activation of the tissue factor pathway,
also called the extrinsic coagulation pathway
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI)
a known inhibitor of thrombin
formation
Thrombomodulin
Vasoconstriction; Collagen binding and platelet activation is under what property of vascular intima
