Exam 2 Flashcards
What is cardiac output
How much blood is LEAVING the ventricle
Heart rate x stroke volume = cardiac output
What is rate of perfusion
measurement of how much blood gets to the tissues over a certain period of time
what is endothelium
internal lining of the blood vessels and heart
which layer is endothelium found in? (vessels)
TUNICA INTMA
what epithelium type is found in endothelium?
simple squamous epithelium
what is hydrostatic?
at the arterial end
responsible for filtration
forces fluid out of vessels to tissues
colloid
at the venous end
responsible for reabsorption
draws fluid into vessels from surrounding tissues
systolic ?
measures MAXIMUM stretch during ventricular systole ( contraction )
diastolic?
measures when artery recoils no further during ventricular diastole ( relaxation)
angiogenesis
creating new blood cells
ex. gaining fat or muscle tissue will cause blood vessels to grow in that area
regression
blood vessels in areas that are no longer active may regress
ex. losing fat or muscle tissue
what do capillaries do?
serve as sites of exchange
layer of the artery walls referring to endothelium
Tunica intima
layer of the artery wall that is THICK
tunica media
layer of the artery wall that helps anchor arteries and veins to structures
tunica externa
walls of veins are ….
thin
tunica intima
tunica media
tunica externa
artery lumen is ….
small
vein lumen is ….
large
valves ?
only present in veins … they prevent back flow
artery transports blood …?
away from heart
