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
