Chapter 23: Blood vessels Flashcards
Arteries carry blood…
AWAY from the heart
Veins carry blood…
Towards the heart
Cappilarries bridge what two types of blood vessesl and becasue of their structure they allow for…
Capillaries bridge arteries and veins and because of their structure they allow for diffusion between blood and body tissues.
Arteries and Veins have three layers (tunics) in common with each other. What are these layers in order from most superficial to deep.
- Tunica Externa
- Tunica Media
- Tunica Intima
The connective tissue that makes up the blood vessel walls is known as…
Areolar connective tissue
The open passageway in which blood is able to flow through in blood vessels is known as the ….
Lumen
What is the structure found in veins that prevents the backflow of blood that would otherwise happen b/c of areas of the body trying to return blood against gravity?
Valve
Label, in order, the structures (tunics) indicated in the picture
- Tunica Intima
- Tunica Media
- Tunica Externa
A disease that is characterized by the changes in vessel wall primarily due to the buildup of fatty deposts called plaque is known as…
Atherosclerosis
Identify the structures in the image shown
- Basal Lamina
- Endothelial Cell
Identify each of the types of capillaries shown in the image
- Continuous
- Fenestrated
- Sinusoid
The interconnected network of capillary vessles between and arteriole and a venule is known as the ….
Capillary bed
The structures identified with the star are known as…
Precapillary Sphincters
Capillary exchange what “items”?
- Gases
- Nutrients
- Fluid
- Electrolytes
- Wastes
