histology Arteries and Veins Flashcards
Large elastic arteries
aorta, large aortic branches and pulmonary arteries
large aortic branches eg
brachiocephalic, subclavian, common carotids, iliac arteries
Large elastic arteries اكتر اشي مميز
contains large amount of elastic fibres
الفرق بين الarteries وveins
من ناحية الwalls
walls of arteries are thicker than that of veins ليش
to withstand pulsatile flow
الفرق بين الarteries وveins
من ناحية ال blood pressure
blood pressures of arteries are higher than that of veins

As arteries become smaller, wall thickness gradually decreases but the ratio of wall thickness to lumen diameter increases
in large elastic artery
there are no smooth muscle, elastic fibers only.
Medium-sized muscular arteries eg
coronary and renal arteries
The media of Medium-sized muscular arteries contains
large amount of smooth muscle cells with some elastin and collagen
Adventitia of Medium-sized muscular arteries is
very broad, and mostly
contains collagen and elastin.
media of Small arteries and arterioles consists almost
of one or two layers of smooth muscle cells, and there is no External Elastic Lamina
adventitia of Small arteries and arterioles is
same size as the tunica media layer
merges in with surrounding tissue
intima of Small arteries and arterioles is
thin
single layer of squamous epithelium
primary site of vascular resistance
Layers of smooth muscle →cفي الوريداتontrolling systemic blood pressure
Arterioles
Small arteries and arterioles (in the substance of organs and tissues) extends and branches out
from an artery and leads to capillaries
nucleus of the smooth muscle appears
in a longitudinal shape arranged in a circular manner.
nucleus of the intima
in circular shape because the cells are
arranged longitudinally.

الفرق بين الarteries وveins
من ناحية ال قطر
veins have larger diameters than arteries →larger lumens
veins كمية الدم يلي بتحملها ال
two thirds of all circulating blood.
الفرق بين الarteries وveins
من ناحية الmedia
the media is much thinner in the veins due to significantly less smooth muscle and elastic tissue.
