sound that can sometimes be heard as the atria contract

21
Q

what is s1?

A

sound of AV valves closing after atrial contraction

22
Q

what is s2?

A

sound of SL valves closing after ventricular contraction

23
Q

what is actually making the noise of heart sounds?

A

blood turbulence

24
Q

what is the tunica externa/ adventitia

A

most superficial layer of blood vessel

25
Q

what is the tunic externa / adventitia made of

A

dense irreg

26
Q

what is the tunica media

A

in the middle

27
Q

what is the tunica media made of

A

smooth muscle and elastic CT

28
Q

what is the tunic Interna / intima

A

the most deep layer of the blood vessel

has: -Endothelium, basement membrane, and elastic membrane

29
Q

what does the endothelium of the tunica interna do

A

it lines inside of vessel (made of simple squamous)

30
Q

what is the basement membrane made out of

A

lose areolar CT

31
Q

what does the elastic membrane do?

A

Connects the tunica interna to the tunica media

32
Q

arteries have thick or thin tunica media?

A

THICK

33
Q

what are the 3 types of arteries?

A

1) elastic arteries
2) muscular arteries
3) arterioles

34
Q

What are the characteristics of elastic arteries

A

Large, Thick elastic, high pressure

35
Q

what are the characteristics of muscular arteries

A

mid-size, thick smooth muscle

36
Q

what are the characteristics of arterioles

A

small, no externa

37
Q

what are the characteristics of venules

A

no smooth muscle

drain blood from capillary bed into veins

38
Q

what are the characteristics of veins?

A

thin tunica meia, valves

39
Q

what are the 2 main sources driving venous return?

A

1) Skeletal muscle pump

2) Respiratory pump (thoracic + abdominal pressure)

40
Q

What is the structure of capillaries

A

endothelium only

41
Q

what are the 3 types of capillaries

A

1) Continuous
2) Fenestrated
3) Sinusoid

42
Q

Explain the characteristics of continuous capillaries

A
the endothelium is continuous 
moderately permeable
most common (nutrients, wastes, gas, hormones)
43
Q

explain the characteristics of fenestrated capillaries

A

more pores = more permeable

absorb/filter in kidneys and intestines

44
Q

explain the characteristics of sinusoid capillaries

A

large gaps = most permeable

spleen, liver, bone marrow

45
Q

what are capillary beds flow regulated by ?

A

precapilllary sphincters
