True or False, Continuous Basal Lamina is present in Fenestrated Capillaries

30
Q

Capillaries that have large diameter and twisted course; Located in liver, bone marrow, spleen, and some endocrine organs

A

Sinusoidal Capillaries

31
Q

Capillaries located at organs forming a microvasculature network with a huge surface area

A

Capillary Bed

32
Q

Factors that determine what stuff moves across capillary walls

A
  1. Size/Charge of Molecule

A

40 layers of smooth muscle

43
Q

Blood vessels that returns blood back to the heart

44

45
Q

What layer compose the valves of veins

A

Tunica intima (projects into vein lumen)

46
Q

True or False, Valves in veins are numerous in limbs

47
Q

This is the inner layer of the heart; Consists of endothelium and basal lamina

A

Endocardium

48
Q

True or False, valves are not considered part of the Endocardium

A

False, they are considered part of the endocardium

49
Q

This layer of endocardium is a layer of loose connective tissue between endocardium and myocardium containing nerves, blood vessels, and branches of conducting system of the heart

A

Subendocardium Layer

50
Q

Layer where Cardiomyocytes are located

Epicardium

55
Q

True or False, Epicardium contains a loose connective tissue, nerves, blood vessels, and small amount of adipose tissue
