Chapter 21&22 Flashcards
Blood Pressure cuff
sphygmomanometer
Arteries
elastic, muscular, arterioles, carry oxygenated blood
Capilaries
site of exchange with tissues
Veins
thinner walls than arteries, contain less elastic tissue and fewer smooth muscle cells, carried de oxygenated blood
Place the following in correct order:
Veins, arteries, capillaries
- Arteries
- Capillaries
- Veins
Fenestrated Capillaries
have pores
Arterial Capillaries are closer to what
arterial’s
Metarterioles
isolated smooth muscle along their wall
Precapillary sphincters regulate what
blood flow
Tunica Intima
endothelium tissue that lines veins
Thicker in arteries, innervated by sympathetic nerve fibers, and has smooth muscle cells
Tunica media
Elastic artery
also knows as conductive arteries, largest diameter and highest pressure
Ex: Aorta, Pulmonary Trunk
Arterioles
allow blood to go directly from an artery to a vein
Vasa Vasorum
blood vessels that supply the walls of arteries and veins
Neural innervation of blood vessels
sympathetic nerve fibers from plexi in tunica adventitia
Arteriosclerosis
hardening of the arteries. Thickens tunica intima and losses elasticity in tunica media
Atherosclerosis
deposition of plaque on walls
Systemic circulation begins in the ____ and ends in the ____.
Systemic circulation begins in the left ventricle and ends in the right atrium
Ascending aorta
right and left coronary arteries branch from here
Aortic arch 1st branch
brachiocephalic artery, goes to the right arm
Aortic arch 2nd branch
left common carotid, goes to the left side of the heart
Abdominal aorta
branches into common iliac at L5
Which one is not a part of the circle of willis
posterior inferior cerebellar artery
Inferior vena cava goes to
abdomen, pelvis, lower limbs
Longest vein in the human body
great saphenous
When a blood specimen is needed what vein is it taken from and why
Median Cubital vein because it is closer to the surface of the body and no nerve endings
The splenic and superior mesenteric veins pour into what vein
hepatic vein
Hepatic portal system is from GI tract to what
liver
Blood pressure
measure of force exerted by blood against the vessel wall
How is blood pressure measured
listening to korotkoff sounds also know as the ausculation method
Korotkoff sounds
produced by turbulent flow
Laminar flow
center moving, fastest
Turbulent flow
small currents moving crosswise or obliquely
What does constriction of a blood vessel do
increase resistance and thus decreases flow
As viscosity increases pressure required to flow
increases
Critical closing pressure
pressure at which a blood vessel collapses and blood flow stops
Laplace’s Law
force acting on blood vessel wall is proportional to diameter of the vessel times blood pressure
