Blood Vessels Flashcards
Functions of Blood Vessels?
R-egulate BP E-xchange nutrients, waste products, gases in the tissues D-irect blood flow to tissues C-arry Blood T-ransport Substance
carry blood away from the heart
thick w/ a lot of elastic
Arteries
carry blood towards the heart
thin with less elastic
Veins
Exchange occurs between blood and tissue fluids
Capillaries
Blood Flow Step by Step
Arteries -> Arterioles -> Capillaries -. Venules -> small veins -> Veins -> HEART
Inner most layer of the BV?
Tunica Intima (simple squamous)
Middle Layer of BV?
Tunica Media (smooth muscles with elastic and collagen)
outermost layer of BV?
Tunica Adventitia (connective Tissue)
2 types of arteries
Elastic Arteries
Muscular Arteries
artery that is:
largest in diameter
Thickest walls
Elastic Arteries (aorta,pulmonary trunk)
arteries that is:
medium to small size
thick in diameter
with smooth muscle cells
CAN CONTROL BLOOD FLOW TO BODY REGIONS
Muscular Arteries
BV that regulates the blow flow to different regions of the body?
Muscular Arteries
BV that prevents blood pressure from falling rapidly
Elastic Arteries (recoils when stretch)
Artery -> Arterioles ->_______ -> Venules -> Small Veins -> Veins -> Heart
Capilliaries- branches of small network like structure
smooth muscle that regulates the flow of blood through capillaries
Precapilliary Sphinchers
Capillaries is made up of?
Simple Endothelium surrounded by delicate loose connective Tissue
T or F
6 tunics are present in the small veins
False
3 tunics lang Dzai
contains the valves
Large Veins
collect blood from small veins and deliver to large veins
Medium Sized Veins
predominat layer of Large Veins?
Tunica Adventitia
exit lungs and carry oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium
pulmonary veins
Blood Vessels that carry blood from RV to Lungs and Back to the LA of the Heart
Pulmonary Circulation
circulation carries blood from the LV to the tissues of the body and back to the RA
Systemic Circulation
Parts of The Aorta
Ascending (superiorly to LV)
Aortic Arch ( 3 major Arteries that carry blood to head and Upper Limb)
Descending ( extends through thorax -> abdomen -> pelvis
Thoracic ( thorax -> diaphgram)
Abdominal (to iliac arteries (arteries from lower limb)
