Q

Blood Vessels (3 types and charactaristics)

A

Arteries:
- act as a pressure reservoir
- Thick muscle layers of vascular smooth muscles
- Lots of elastic and fibrous connective tissue
Arterioles
- Site of variable resistance
- Part of the microcirculation
- Less elastic and more muscular
Metarterioles
- Branches of arterioles
- Partial smooth muscle layer
- Precapillary sphincters open and close to direct blood flow to capilaries or venous circulation

A

The respiratory system
