Q

blood flow in capillaries

A

one cell layer thick
red blood cells pass one at a time (rouleau)
precapillary sphincters control flow of blood through bed

16
Q

Venules

A

drain capillary beds, merge to form veins

17
Q

Systolic pressure

A

pressure during ventricular contraction

18
Q

Diastolic pressure

A

pressure during ventricular relaxation

19

connects pulmonary trunk to aorta

21
Q

ductus venosus

A

connect umbilical cord to inferior vena cava

22
