70
Q

List 5 section into which the aorta is divided

A
  1. root of the aorta 2. ascending or arch 3. Descending aorta 4. abdominal aorta 5.bifurcation of the aorta into iliac arteries
71
Q

Describe the differences between arteries and veins

A

Arteries are hollow elastic tube that carry blood away from the heart. Enclosed in a sheath with veins and nerve Smaller arteries contain less elastic and more smooth muscle than larger arteries. Elasticity of large arteries maintain blood flow
Vein are hollow collapsible because of little elasticity and muscle within their walls Vein are larger than arteries and they move blood slower

72
Q

List four branches of the aorta that supply other visceral organs and the mesentery

A
  1. celiac truck 2/3 superior and inferior mesenteric arteries 4 renal arteries

Q

Describe the function of the circulatory system

Transport gases, nutrient materials, and other essential substance to the tissues and subsequently transport waste products from cells to appropriate site for excretion

74
Q

List characteristics of a vein

A

Veins contain special values that prevent back flow. Numerous value are found in lower extremities because the flow has to work against gravity. Venous is also aid by muscle contraction, over flow from capillary beds, gravity, and suction from negative thoracic pressure.

to connect the arterial and venous system. The cells and tissue of the body receive their nutrients from fluid passing through the capillaries

parallel

79

umbilical

A

outer, outer

88
Q

Thrombus usually occurs along the ____ or ___ wall.

A

anterior, anterolateral

89
Q

A(n) _____ is a pulsatile hematoma that results from the leakage of blood into the soft tissue abutting the punctured artery, with subsequent fibrous encapsulation and failure of the vessel wall defect to heal.

A

pseudoaneurysm

90
Q

A

expiration

91
Q

A

lower

92
