chapter 20 Flashcards
consistent in all blood vessels
tunica intima/interna
gets damaged. clotting occurs
endothelium
what does tunica intima/interna consist of
endothelium and connective tissue
consist of smooth muscle/ connective tissue
tunica media
sometimes needs more blood supply
externa/adventitia
consist of connective tissue (collagen/elastic)
externa
can have blood vessels w/in blood vessels
vasavasorum ( externa)
Efferent vessels, carries blood away from heart
arteries
aka, conducting artery.biggest, can stretch, tolerate high pressure and force from hearts ventricles, helps move blood in diastole
Elastic
aka distributing artery, elastic is limited to international and external lamina, high muscle content
muscular
Aka resistance, media & external diminish, smallest may have no external
arterioles
weak point in an artery or heart wall. bulge that ruptures
aneurysm
aka capacitance
veins
as ___ grow larger, tunica media & external get more distinct
veins
in veins tunica externa is the ___ layer and ___ component
thickest, largest
medium veins and up have ___
valves
veins have an overall ___ wall than arteries
thinner
veins hold more blood because…
lumen is large
minimal intercellular clefts
continuous cap.
will not allow large molecules to pass through ex) plasma protein, platelets, & blood cells. Will allow small molecule to pass through ex) glucose. least permeable
minimal intercellular clefts in continuous cap.
___ & ___ will have continuous caps.
muscles and skin
____ caps are found in BBB
continuous caps.
allow larger molecules to cross ex)hormones where endocrine glands are found
fenestrated caps.
holes (filtration pores)
fenestrations
filtration site
kidneys
absorption in
instestines
aka discontinuous caps
sinusoidal
have HUGE fenestrations, large intercellular clefts, incomplete endothelium, most permeable
sinusoidal
large cells and molecules can pass through sinusoidal caps bc of
incomplete endothelium
found in liver, spleen, & bone marrow
sinusoidal
64%
Veins
5%
Caps.
15%
arteries
7%
heart
9%
pulmonary circuit
84%
systemic circuit
Capillaries are organized into networks called
capillary beds
caps move in the direction
arteriole to venule
the metarteriole continues as a ____ leading directly to a venule
thoroughfare channel
____ empty into the distal end of the thoroughfare channel or directly into the venule.
caps.
