Q
  • Carry blood to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen.
    • Carry blood to the intestines, where nutritive materials in fluid form are absorbed, and to the endocrine glands, where hormones pass through the vessel walls and are distributed to target cells.
    • Transport the waste products of tissue fluid to the kidneys, intestines, lungs, and skin, where they are excreted.

Q

what are the parts of tunica intima?

A

internal elastic membrane, endothelium

17
Q

what is the largest amount in elastic arteries?

A

elastic fibers

18
Q

what is the largest amount in muscular arteries?

A

smooth muscles

19
Q

what is missing in arteriole?

A

tunica externa/adventitia

20
Q

what is present in the endothelium of arteriole?

A

fenestrations so blood can be transported outside the vessel

21
Q

what is the term for tunica intima in arteriole?

A

basement membrane

22
Q

• Composed of endothelium and its basement membrane and connect the arterioles to the venules.

A

capillaries

23
Q

• The sites of exchange of carbon dioxide, oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the tissues and the blood.

A

capillaries

24
Q

it is where the arterioles and venules have direct connections

A

arteriovenous anastomoses) or shunts

25
Q

no capillary intervening between arteries and vein; can be dangerous; not normal in some parts of the body

A

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the brain

26
Q

• Return blood to the heart from the capillary beds and consist of the pulmonary veins, which return oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs, and the systemic veins, which return deoxygenated blood to the heart from the rest of the body.

A

Veins

27
Q

prevent the reflux of blood in veins

A

valves

28
Q

composition of veins that closely accompany muscular arteries in the limbs

A

venae comitantes

29
Q

• Wider and more irregular than capillaries and substitute for capillaries in some organs, such as the liver, spleen, red bone marrow, adenohypophysis (in pituitary gland), suprarenal cortex, and parathyroid glands.

A

Sinusoids

30
Q

Sinusoids Often contain phagocytic cells on their walls and form a part of the __ __ which is concerned chiefly with phagocytosis and antibody formation.

A

reticuloendothelial system

31
Q

• Is a system in which blood collected from one capillary network passes through a large vessel(s) and then a second capillary network before it returns to the systemic circulation.

A

Portal System

32
Q

blood from the intestinal capillary bed passes through the hepatic portal vein and then hepatic capillaries (sinusoids) to the hepatic veins

A

hepatic portal system

33
Q

blood from the hypothalamic capillaries passes through the hypophyseal portal veins and then the pituitary capillary sinusoids to the hypophyseal veins.

A

hypophyseal portal system

34
Q

blood circulation of liver

A

hepatic portal circulation

35
Q

What is the thick part in vein which is thin in artery?

A

tunica adventitia

36
Q

Which has lower pressure, vein or artery?

A

vein

37
Q

describe hepatic portal circulation process

A

artery, first capillary bed, portal venules, hepatic portal vein, second capillary bed (more dilated and bigger): sinusoids, hepatic vein, to the venous system (inferior vena cava)
