Q

small diameter
adventia is thin
no external elastic membrane
no vasa vasorum

A

arterioles

22
Q

consist of only intima. very thin and very permeable. allow for material exchange

A

capillaries

23
Q

materials exchange that occurs in capillaries

A

nutrients, dissolved gases and wastes

24
Q

capillary permeability maximized by

A

thin wall. low BP and slow blood flow

25
mechanism of permeability-- diffusion across?
diffusion across endothelial cells, through gaps between endothelium, through pores, and vascular transport with pinocytes
26
mechanism of permeability-- diffusion across endothelial cells include:
lipids and gases
27
mechanism of permeability-- diffusion through gaps between endothelium include:
water and small solutes
28
mechanism of permeability-- diffusion through pores include:
water and large solutes
29
mechanism of permeability-- vesicular transport with pinocytes include:
large bound solutes
30
types of capillaries
continuous, fenestrated, sinusoid
31
include many tight junctions, desmosomes and pinocytes. allow for movement by passive diffusion and active transport
continuous capillaries
32
location of continuous capillaries
CNS< skeletal muscle and lungs
33
swish cheese appearance (pores) and allow movement of peptides and small proteins
fenestrated capillaries
34
location of fenestrated capillaries
kidneys, intestines, endocrine glands, choriod plexus
35
specialized for max exchange by large intercellular gaps, pores, discontinuous basement membrane -- allows cells to enter and exit
sinusoid capillaries
36
location of sinusoid capillaries
spleen, bone marrow, liver and adrenal glands
37
network of interconnected capillaries. derived from arterioles. involve precapillary sphincters and metaarterioles
capillary beds
38
manages blood flow to bed
precapillary sphincters
39
a direct connect through the bed. leads to a throughfare channel
metaarterioles
40
anastomoses involves
collateral arteries and arteriovenous anastomosis
41
two large arteries fuse. twice as much blood supplies the arteries. found in areas with high O2 demands
collateral arteries
42
direct connection between arteriole and venules. where bloodo flow may be hindered by posture
arteriovenous anastomosis
43
smalles veins that collect blood from capillaries. can lack a media. scatter, minimal amount of smooth muscles occasionally
venules
44
2-9 mm in diameter. thin media. few smooth muscle fibers. thick adventitia. low BP and valves
medium sized veins
45
great vein, superior and inferior vena cave and their tributaries. thin media. thick adventita. low BP. valves
large sized veins
46
flap like structures projecting inward-- folds of media found in the extremities. prevent back flow. move blood through veins
venous veins
47
process of moving blood through veins
movement of limbs and contraction of muscles + the expanison of the thoracic cavity cause blood to move up the vein
48
moevment of limbs and contraction of muscles
skeletal muscle pump
49
expansion of the thoracic cavity
thoracoabdominal pump
50
circuit
pulmonary adn systemic
51
pulmonary circuit
deoxy blood goes to lungs from right ventricle oxy blood in alveolar capillaries of lungs brought to left atrium then left ventricle veins = oxygentated arterie = deoxy
52
systemic circuit
oxy blood goes from left ventricle to body deoxy occurs in systemic capillaries brought to right atrium, then to right ventricle. veins= deoxy. arteries = oxy
