Ch 19 Blood Vessels Flashcards
3 major vessels
Arteries capillaries veins
Where do arteries carry blood?
Away from heart
Veins carry blood where?
Toward the heart.
Arteries carry what kind if blood in systemic circulation?
Oxygenated blood
Veins carry what kind of blood in the systemic circulation?
Oxygen poor blood
In the pulmonary circulation the arteries carry blood
Away from the heart and oxygen poor
In the pulmonary circulation, the veins carry blood
From the lungs to the heart
Oxygenated
Walls of the blood vessels have how many layers?
3 tunics
Lumen
Blood containing space
Vasoconstriction/vasodilation occurs in which tunic?
Tunic media
Chief functioned the tunic media
Maintain blood pressure
Elastic arteries
Thick
Neat the heart
Elastin
Swiss cheese appearance between layers of smooth muscle cells
Muscular arteries
Diver blood to specific body organs
Vasoconstriction
Arteriolar
Smallest arteries
3 types if capillaries
Continuous
Fenestrated
Sinusoidal
Continuous capillaries are where?
Skin and muscle
Intracellar clefts
Membranes
Allows limited passage of solutes and fluids.
Fenestrated capillaries
Permeable to fluids and small solutes
Fenestrated capillaries are where?
Sm. intestine
Endocrine organs
Sinusoids
Leaky capillaries
Where are sinusoid all capillaries found?
Liver
Bone narrow
Spleen
Adrenal medulla
Hepatic macrophages
Kupferr cells
Remove and destroy contained bacteria
Capillary beds
Network of capillaries
Microcirculation
Flow if blood from the arteriole to a venule
Capillary bed consists if 2 vessels
Vascular shunt
True capillaries
Exchange vessels
Route of capillary beds
Terminal arteriole
Metarteriole
Thoroughfare channel
Post capillary venule
Precapillary sphincter
Surrounds the root of a true capillary to regulate blood flow into the capillary
When the capillaries sphincter is open what happens?
Blood flows through capillaries and takes Orr in exchanges with tissue cells
When the precapillary sphincter is closed, what happens?
Blood flows through the shunts and biopasses tissue cells
Vascular anastomoses
Vascular channels that unite and form inner connections
