circulation Flashcards
one heart beat
sends blood through both systemic and pulmonary circuits
layers of vessels
-intima, media and adventita
intima
endothelium and connective tissue
media
smooth muscle
adventitia
support the shape and have collagen/ elastic fibers
vasoconstriction
sympathetic nervous system
-r and d
-constricts sooth muscle/ media
walls of the vessels are too thick?
vasa vasorum (blood supply soly to supply the vessels w nutrients)
Arteries vs veins
-arteries have thicker walls, maintain circular shape, folds in the inima and end at continuous capillaries
-venules will collapse if cut and end at fenestrade capillaries
fenestrated capillaries
have pores, endotherlium and basal lamina
continuous capillaries
endothelium and basal lamina
diameter of capillaries
8 microns
capillary diffusion types
-diffusion
-pores
-endocytosis
-gaps in the cell linnings
where do capillaries lead
capillary beds
capillary beds
capillary network of vessels that connect arterioles and venules
collateral arteries
-brain heart and tummy
-places that have multiple artery supply and if one gets a clot its fine
