Q 
which type of capillary is found in endocrine
glands and sites of fluid or
metabolite absorption, such as
the gallbladder, kidney,
pancreas, and intestinal tract.
A 
Fenestrated capillaries (contain circular openings
known as fenestrations)
23
Q

In many tissues, there are direct routes between the arteries and veins
that divert blood from the capillaries.
It creates a backup pathway b/w veins and arteries for blood flow if a blood vessel becomes blocked.
they play an important role in temperature regulation in humans in their thermoneutral zone
–>These routes are called ………….

A

arteriovenous

(AV) anastomoses or AV shunts.

24
Q

the Proximal segment before entering into the capillary bed is called a
……………., also allow some
blood to pass more directly from
artery to vein.

A

metarteriole

25
Q

which one has a thicker wall, veins or arteries?

A

veins. cz they need to carry blood to the heart against high resistnace

26
Q

which layer is thicker in medium and large VEINS?

A

tunica adventitia

27
Q

which layer is thicker in arteries?

A

tunica media

28
Q

……….represent venous channels in the cranial cavity. and they don’t have valves

A

Dural venous sinuses

29
Q

Which vessels is most

responsible for maintaining blood pressure?

A

arterioles

30
Q

A cardiologist places a stent in a vessel

commonly known as “the widow maker:’ What region of the heart is perfused by the branches of this vessel?

A

Anterior wall of the heart

The vessel of the heart commonly known as the “widow maker” is the anterior descending
branch of the left coronary artery and it supplies the entire anterior wall of the heart.

31
Q

A particular medication prescribed to a
patient cannot cross the blood-brain barrier
because capillaries in the CNS have which of
the following characteristics?

A

Fasciae occludentes

32
Q

Vasa vasorum function in a way that is

similar to

A

coronary arteries.

Vasa vasorum are small blood vessels that supply the walls of elastic and muscular arteries
with oxygen and nutrients just as the coronary arteries provide for the walls of the heart.

33
Q

vitelline veins :

A

return poorly oxygenated blood from the umbilical vesicle

35
Q

common carotid veins:

A

return poorly oxygenated blood from the body of the embryo to the heart

36
Q

where do the vitelline, umbilical, and common cardinal veins drain into?

A
