Ch 22 Lec 1 Blood Vessels Flashcards
these are exchange vessels
capillaries
carry blood away from heart
artery
these return blood to heart
veins
blank does not distinguish arteries from veins
oxygen
smooth surface for blood flow and simple squamous epithelium
endothelium
this provides elasticity to withstand blood pressure changes
connective tissue
smooth muscle causes blank and blank in blood vessels
vasoconstriction, vasodilation
innermost layer of blood vessel and is endothelium on top of connective tissue membrane
tunica intima
middle layer of blood vessel that is the bulk of the wall and has smooth muscle and elastic connective tissue
tunica media
outer thin layer of connective tissue that is elastic and collagenous fibers
adventitia (tunica externa)
tunica externa attaches artery to blank
surrounding tissues
tunica externa have blank which are blood vessels of blood vessels because they are so thick
vasa vasorum
arteries are blank and blank
strong, elastic
arteries are subdivided into blank
arterioles
artery walls are blank than veins
thicker
artery lumen appears blank than veins
smaller
artery blank can not contract but veins can
endothelium
blank arteries and have a large diameter and in areas of high pressure
elastic
elastic arteries have a blank which has less smooth muscle and a high percentage of elastic tissue
media
two examples of elastic arteries
pulmonary trunk, aorta, carotid, subclavian, common iliacs
type of artery that is a large to small diameter and carry blood to skeletal muscles and organs
muscular
microscopic continuations of arteries
arterioles
arterioles have a blank diameter and adventitia is blank
small, thin
arterioles have no external blank membrane
elastic
arterioles have no blank
vasa vasorum
capillaries consist of only blank
intima
capillaries have variable blank
permeability
two materials exchanged in capillaries
nutrients, dissolved gases, wastes
capillary permeability is maximized by a blank wall and low blank
thin, blood pressure
permeability in a capillary is thanks to blank across endothelial cells
diffusion
diffusion in capillaries can also be through blank between endothelium
gaps
diffusion through blank also provide for permeability in capillaries
pores
this type of permeability in capillaries that is active transport
vesicular transport with pinocytes
continuous capillaries have many tight blank, blank, and blank
junctions, desmosomes, pinocytes
continuous capillaries allow movement by blank diffusion or blank transport
passive, active
locations of continuous capillaries
central nervous system, skeletal muscles, lungs
capillaries with a Swiss cheese appearance because they have pores
fenestrated
two locations of fenestrated capillaries
kidneys, intestines, endocrine glands, choroid plexus
capillaries that are specialized for max exchange and have large intercellular gaps and pores
sinusoid capillaries
in sinusoid capillaries there is a discontinuous blank membrane which allows cells to blank
basement, enter/exit
a network of interconnected capillaries
capillary beds
capillary beds are derived from blank
arterioles
part of capillary beds that manages blood flow to bed
precapillary sphincters
part of capillary beds that are a direct connection through the bed and leads to a thoroughfare channel
metarterioles
part of capillary bed that has collateral arteries
anastomoses
collateral arteries are two arteries blank
fused
in collateral arteries there are twice as much blank that supplies the arteries
blood
collateral arteries are found in areas with high blank demands
O2
part of anastomoses that has a direct connection between arteriole and venule
arteriovenous anastomosis
blood flow may be hindered by posture in blank
arteriovenous anastomosis
smallest veins that collect blood from capillaries
venules
venules can lack a blank
media
venules have a minimal amount of blank sometimes
smooth muscles
these are veins that are 2-9 mm in diameter and have thin media
medium sized veins
medium sized veins have few smooth blank
muscle fibers
great veins, superior/inferior vena cava, and their tributaries are considered blank
large sized veins
large sized veins have a blank media
thin
large sized veins have a blank blood pressure
low
these are flap like structures projecting inward
venous valves
venous valves are folds of blank and are found in blank
media, extremities
veins have a low blank
blood pressure
valves prevent blank flow of blood
back
blank helps pump which helps movement of movement of blood through veins
skeletal muscles
expansion of the thoracic cavity makes up this pump and is for movement of blood through veins
thoracoabdominal pump
blood distribution of the body is blank
uneven
oxygenated blood in the arteries make up blank of blood
1/3
deoxygenated venous blood makes up blank of blood
2/3
veins blank during blood loss
contract
the uneven blood flow creates a blank
blood reservoir
deoxygenated blood goes to lungs from right ventricle which is called the blank circuit
pulmonary
blood is oxygenated in blank capillaries of lungs
alveolar
in pulmonary circuit, blood is brought to blank then to blank
left atrium, left ventricle
veins are blank in pulmonary circuit
oxygenated
arteries are blank in pulmonary circuit
deoxygenated
oxygenated blood goes ffrom left ventricle to body in this circuit
systemic
