Cardiovascular Lecture Flashcards
Parts of closed circulation of blood
Heart-muscular pump
Artery-Transport blood away from heart
Capillary-material exchange
Vein-Return blood to the heart
T/F Lymph system is two-way drainage system
F
One way
T/F Systemic circulation circulates to and from everywhere on the body
F
Everywhere but lungs and abdominal viscera
What is the circulation to and from the lungs?
Pulmonary circulation
What is the circulation from abdominal viscera?
Portal circulation
What’s the general structure of blood vessels?
Tunica intima
Tunica media
Tunica adventitia
Classification and name of tunica intima
Endothelium
Simple squamous epithelium
What does tunica intima incorporate?
Endothelium
Basal lamina
Subendothelial layer with internal elastic lamina
describe the endothelial cells of tunica intima
SSE
Smooth surface lining cells
Secretes enzymes and collagens
Controlling vascular tune by secreting endothelial-dependent relaxing factor, nitric oxide (NO) and endothelial dependent constriction factor, endothelin 1 (ET-1)
What does tunica media incorporate?
Smooth muscle cells
Elastic fibers and lamina
CT (external elastic lamina)
What does tunica adventitia incorporate?
LCT
Complete 3 layers in arteries
Prominent muscle layer (media)
Types of arteries
Elastic arteries (conducting)
Muscular arteries (distributing)
Arterioles
Elastic artery (conducting) layers
Intimia= Thin, cincomplete internal elastic lamina
Media=More than 40 layers of elastic membranes and smooth muscle
Adventitia=Thin external elastic lamina
Visa vasorum: small blood vessels in big vessel wall goes up to tunica media
Muscular artery (distributing) layers
Intima= Apparent internal elastic lamina
Media=Up to 40 layers of smooth muscle cells
Adventitia=Apparent external elastic lamina
What do arterioles lack?
Elastic lamina
How many layers of smooth muscle (tunica media) in arterioles?
1-6
T/F Arterioles have thick layer of adventitia
F
Thin
Terminal arterioles vs metarterioles
Terminal arterioles have one complete layer of smooth muscle cells
Metarterioles that supply blood to capillary beds have in-complete layer of smooth muscle cells and have sphincter-like smooth muscle cells
