The veins , which transport blood back to the atria, follow pathways that roughly parallel those of the arteries

131
Q

Artery three layers of wall

A

Endothelial lining, a middle layer of smooth muscle and elastic connective tissue and an outer lay of the connective tissue

132
Q

Arterioles what are the 3 layers of the wall

A

Smaller arterioles have an endothelial lining, some smooth muscle tissue, and small amount of connective tissue.

133
Q

Capillary type of wall

A

Single layer of squamous epithelium

134
Q

Venule type of wall

A

Thinner wall than in an arterioles, less smooth muscle and elastic connective tissue

135
Q

Vein type of wall

A

Thinner wall than an artery but with similar layer; the vein middle layer is much thinner; some veins have flap like valves.

136
Q

What are the 5 vessel

A

Artery , arterioles, capillary, venule, vein

137
Q

Coverings of the heart

A

A layered pericardium encloses the heart

The pericardial cavity is a space between the parietal and visceral so layer of the pericardium

138
Q

3 layers of wall of the heart

A

Epicardium, myocardium, endocardium

139
Q

Veins from the brain, head, and neck

A

Jugular veins drain these regions

Jugular veins unite with subclavian veins to formed the brachiocephalic veins.

140
Q

THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

A

GENERAL FUNCTION OF CIRCULATORY SYSTEM: To circulate substances (such as blood) throughout the body. The system is a closed, continuous system.

141
Q

ARTERIES

A

Carry blood AWAY from the heart; high in O2 and low in CO2; deeper than veins with thicker walls; blood is in higher pressure; have a creamy appearance; noted in red on anatomical drawings.

142
Q

Head

A

ascending/arch of aorta, (brachiocephalic if on the right), right/left common carotid (external/internal), cerebral and facial .

143
Q

Arms

A

ascending/arch of aorta, (brachiocephalic if on the right), subclavian, axillary, brachial, radial/ulnar, and digital.

144
Q

Legs

A

descending aorta, right/left common iliacs (external/internal), femoral, popliteal, (anterior/posterior) tibial, and dorsalis pedis.

145
Q

VEINS

A

Carry blood TO the heart; high in CO2 and low in O2; more superficial than arteries with thinner walls; blood is lower pressure than in arteries; have a clear appearance; have unidirectional valves to assist blood in getting back to the heart (especially useful in legs/gravity); noted in blue on anatomical drawings.

146
Q

Veins

A

have an accompanying artery of same name EXCEPT superior/inferior vena cava (aorta) and the jugular veins (carotids). Also there is no accompanying artery for the great saphenous and basilica veins. *Basilic vein is the most medial (between the radial and the brachial).

147
Q

Order of movement TO THE HEART:

A

Head: facial and cerebral, right/left common carotid (external/internal), (brachiocephalic if on the right), and arch of/ascending aorta.
▪ Arms: digital, ulnar/radial, brachial, axillary, subclavian, (brachiocephalic if on the right), and arch of/ascending aorta.
▪ Legs: dorsalis pedis, (anterior/posterior) tibial, popliteal, femoral, right/left common iliacs (external/internal) and descending aorta.

148
Q

Circle of Willis

A

Formed by the anterior and posterior cerebral arteries , which join the internal carotid arteries. Basilar artery also connects at base of brain (this is NOT the basilic vein of arm). Pituitary glands sits nested in circle of Willis.
