Cardio Vascular System: Blood Vessels Chapter 21 Flashcards
Blood Vessel Functions
- Carry blood
- Exchange nutrients, waste products, and gases.
- Transport hormones, immune system components, molecules for coagulation, enzymes, nutrients, gases, and waste products
- Regulates blood pressure
- Directs blood flow
arteries carried blood (toward/away) the heart
away
3 types of arteries
elastic and muscular arteries and arterioles
Capillaries
sight of exchange between blood stream and tissue
What are the 4 sub layers?
Tunica Intima
Endothelium
Tunica Media
Tunica Externa
Endothelium is ______ tissue that lines the ______ tube
epithelial, inner
Tunica intima is the internal _______ membrane, where the ________ propa is
elastic, lamina
The tunica media has ______ muscles where __________ and ________ happen
smooth, vasoconstriction, and vasodialation
The tunica external is _________ tissue that anchors and provides ________
connective, support
The order of arteries and veins from the heart
Elastic arteries, muscular arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venues, back to the heart
Which blood vessels are large, the first vessel to leave the heart, are high in pressure but expanding and recoil?
Elastic arteries
Which blood vessels have smooth muscle, distribute blood flow, and have a thick tunica media?
Muscular arteriesWhich
which blood vessels have thin tunics and have smooth muscle to adjust in diameter?
arterioles
Which blood vessels are primary sight of exchange, have only one layer of endothelium, house pre capillary cells, thin for gas exchange, and substances move through them for diffusion?
Capillaries
What are precapillary cells?
fibroblasts, macrophages, etc.
What are fenestrae?
Large gas where water soluble molecules can pass through
________ capillaries are continuous with no gaps, large proteins and molecules can’t pass through these, only things like oxygen can.
Continuous
_________ capillaries are found in the intestines, eye, choroid plexus, kidneys, and CNS. The gaps are small and in the plasma membrane to let nutrients to pass through.
Fenestrated
____________ Capillaries are found in the endocrine system, liver, bone marrow, and the spleen. Their gaps are large fenestrae, they have the ability to allow molecules to pass into the blood stream
Sinusoidal
In the capillary network, ______ ________ regulate profusion of blood through metabolic activity
pre capillary sphincters
________ channel is like the capillary bypass
thoroughfare
________ are two overlapping flaps whose function is to prevent blood flow
valves
There are (more/less) valves in veins where blood pressure is lower
more
Where blood pressure is low, blood is Brough back to the heart through the ________ ______ squeezing force
skeletal muscle
______ _____ connects 2 capillary beds to bypass whole circulatory circuits.
ex. endocrine system, digestive, and urinary system
Portal vein
________ ________ delivers blood to the walls of larger blood vessels by penetrating the walls
vaso vasorum
___________ means plaque on the walls
atherosclerosis
________ means change in an artery that makes them less elastic
arteriosclerosis
______ means strong force
pressure
______ means the rate at which blood is moving through the blood vessels
flow
_________ means opposition to blood flow
resistance
