Q

What makes up the valves of veins?

A

Valve consists of 2 flaps of tunica intima and fibroelastic connective tissue

19
Q

Functions of valves in veins

A
  • Protection by preventing backflow

- Works with skeletal muscle to keep blood moving

20
Q

Venule with a tunica intima that has endothelium, small amount of connective tissue, and numerous pericytes. No tunica media or tunica adventitia present.

A

Postcapillary venules

21
Q

Venule with a tunica intima that have an endothelium and small amount of connective tissue. Also have a tunica adventitia composed of connective tissue, fibroblasts, and some pericytes. No tunica media is present.

A

Collecting venules

22
Q

Venules with a present tunica intima, a tunica media consisting of an incomplete smooth muscle layer, and a tunica adventitia present with a few pericytes (fewest of all types)

A

Muscular venules

23
Q

An incomplete tunica media allows products of inflammation(ex: histamine and leukotrienes) to loosen endothelial cell junctions causing:

A

Leaky venules

24
Q

Structure is similar to venules except these have a complete tunica media (still thin though)

A

Small veins

25
Q

Type of vein with a tunica intima that has endothelium, basal lamina, connective tissue with reticular fibers, sometimes elastic fiber network (but no IEL), a tunica media that has smooth muscle, collagen, and fibroblasts, and a tunica adventitia with connective tissue, collagen, elastic fibers, and a few smooth muscle cells. Vasa vasorum is possible.

A

Medium veins

26
Q

Veins where the tunica intima has thicker connective tissue with fibroblasts and a elastic fiber network, the tunica media is complete, but thin, and the tunica adventitia has much fibroelastic connective tissue and vasa vasorum

A

Large veins

27
Q

What is the thickest layer of large veins?

A

Tunica adventitia

28
Q

What is the exception to typical structure of veins for the superficial veins of legs?

A

Tunica media well developed (must fight gravity)

29
Q

What are the exceptions to typical structures of veins for the pulmonary veins?

A
  • Tunica media is well developed

- Tunica adventitia has some cardiac muscle close to the heart

30
Q

What are the exceptions to typical structures of veins for the vena cava?

A

Tunica adventitia has some cardiac muscle close to the heart

31
Q

What are the exceptions to typical structures of veins for the inferior vena cava?

A

Tunica adventitia may possibly have some cardiac muscle close to the heart

32
Q

Enlarged and winding superficial veins in the leg. Possibly caused be loss of skeletal muscle tone around the veins, degeneration of the vessel wall, or valve incompetence

A

Varicose veins

33
Q

Varicose veins in lower esophagus. Common in alcoholics and is caused by portal hypertension

A

Esophageal varices

34
Q

Varicose veins at the end of the anal canal

A

Hemorrhoids

35
Q

Functions of lymphatic vessels

A
  • Drain excess interstitial fluid
  • Transport lymph to lymph nodes (for foreign antigen detection in nodes)
  • Transport lymph to blood stream
36
Q

Differences of lymphatic capillaries from blood capillaries

A
  • Blind ended (suddenly begin)
  • No pericytes
  • Endothelial cells can overlap, but create clefts between cells that allow for easy movement of materials into and out of vessels
  • No fenestrae and no tight junctions between endothelial cells
  • Contain bundles of lymphatic anchoring filaments
37
Q

What is the function of the lymphatic anchoring filaments in lymphatic capillaries?

A

Support endothelial walls so capillaries stay open

38
Q

What does the structure of small lymphatic vessels resemble?

A

Venules

39
Q

T/F Tunics of medium and large veins blend together more than medium and large lymphatic vessels

A

FALSE.

Medium and large lymphatic vessel tunics blend together more than medium and large veins

40
Q

What lympathic vessels has a tunica intima with endothelium and a thin layer of connective tissue with elastic fibers, a tunica media with thin smooth muscle layer, a tunica adventitia with connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers, and present and closely spaced valves?

A

Medium and Large Lymphatic Venules

41
Q

Lymphatic vessel that empties into the venous system at specific junctions

A

Lymphatic ducts

42
Q

Where does the Lymphatic duct empty into the venous system?

A

At the junction of the right internal jugular vein and subclavian veins

43
Q

What are the 2 lymphatic ducts?

A

Right Lymphatic Duct (shorter)

Thoracic Duct

44
Q

What lympathic vessel has a tunica intima has endothelium, several layers of collagen and elastic fibers, a layer of condensed elastic fibers (similar to internal elastic lamina), tunica media has longitduinal and circular layers of smooth muscle, and tunica adventitia has longitduinal smooth muscle cells, collagenous connective tissue, and vasa vasorum- like vessels?

A

Lymphatic duct
