Q

These vessels carry blood away from the heart

A

arteries

29
Q

These vessels carry blood toward the heart

A

Veins

30
Q

Nerves and vessels run together are considered a

A

neurovascular bundle

31
Q

Vessel wall layers include

A

tunica interna, tunica media, tunica externa

32
Q

This lines the vessel, has endothelium, smooth & selectively permeable

A

tunica interna

33
Q

This enables vessel diameter/radius to change, and has involuntary, smooth muscle

A

tunica media

34
Q

This is loose connective tissue that contains vaso varosum

A

tunica externa

35
Q

These supply blood to larger vessels

A

vasa vasorum

36
Q

Large arteries contain

A

plenty elastic fibers

37
Q

Elastic fibers allow expansion, which

A

allow control of BP during systole & diastole

38
Q

During systole, elastic fibers allow BP

A

not to go as high

39
Q

During diastole, elastic fibers allow BP

A

not to go as low

40
Q

Arteries ____ during systole and ____ during diastole

A

expand, recoil

41
Q

Vasoconstriciton and vasodilation occur in

A

arterioles

42
Q

Three ways of controlling vasomotor activity

A

Local , neural and hormonal control

43
Q

When tissues regulates own blood flow, it is ____

A

local control

44
Q

Neural Control include both

A

baroreflex & chemoreflex

45
Q

Automatic, negative feed back response in BP located in carotid sinus in carotid arteries

A

baroreflex

46
Q

automatic response to changed in blood chemistry in carotid & aortic bodies

A

chemoreflex

47
Q

automatic response to drop in perfusion of brain

A

medullary ischemic reflex

48
Q

Insufficient perfusion is

A

ischemia

49
Q

Vasomotor center of medulla exerts what kinda of control over blood vessels

A

sympathetic

50
Q

This hormones raises Blood pressure (vasoconstrictor) & promotes sodium and water retention by kidneys

A

Angiotensin II

51
Q

This hormone lowers blood pressure & blood volume) (vasodilator)

A

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide

52
Q

This hormone raises Blood pressure, and promotes water retention

A

ADH- Anti Diuretic Hormone

53
Q

The speed of blood decreases when moving from

A

aorta to capillaries

54
Q

The speed of blood increase while moving from

A

capillaries to Vena Cava

55
Q

Blood moves slower

A

in veins than arteries

56
Q

Most important blood in body is in the

A

capillaries

57
Q

Routes for chemical exchange in capillaries include

A

through endothelium/ cytoplasm, via intercellular clefts, and through filtration pores/ fenestras.

58
Q

Mechanisms for chemical exchange through capillaries include

A

diffusion, transcytosis, filtration and reabsorption.

59
Q

Diffusion across cell from one side to another end

A

Transcytosis

60
Q

Movement from high to low concentration, most important form of capillary exchange

A

diffusion

61
Q

diffusion of water through a semi permeable membrane

A

osmosis “reabsorption”

62
Q

movement of fluid in and out of capillary

A

filtration

63
Q

More water is lost from blood on arterial end than venous end and results in

A

excess fluid in tissue space, which can lead to swelling/ edema if not corrected

64
Q

Flow of blood back to heart

A

Venous Return

65
Q

Mechanisms of venous return include

A

skeletal muscle pump, thoracic pump, exercise

66
Q

when cardiac output does not meet the needs of the body

A

circulatory shock

67
Q

when the body compensates and corrects problem

A

compensated shock

68
Q

when body compensation fails

A

decompensated shock
