Q

describe intima

A

endothelium - simple squamous with BM
subendothelium - loose CT between endothelium and IELM
internal elastic membrane (IELM) - not in all vessels, like elastic fibers in tunica media but thicker

Q

describe capillaries - gen

A

only see endothelium (simple squamous with BM) and nucleus
smallest vessel
8-10um in diameter - enough to let one rbc 7um through
abundant in brain and heart

16
Q

describe media of arteriole

A

1-3 layers
appears longitudinal in cross section

17
Q

describe adventitia of arteriole

A

very little/no adventitia

18
Q

describe intima of venule

A

endothelium present
subendothelium thin
no IELM

19
Q

describe media of venule

A

no smooth muscle layers
incomplete or absent media

20
Q

describe adventitia of venule

A

very little/no adventitia

21
Q

how to distinguish venule from arterioles and capillaries

A

different from ateriole since no media
different from capillaries since more than one rbc can flow at a time
more than 2 endothelial cells surround lumen in cross section

22
Q

describe intima of muscular artery

A

endothelium (endothelial cell)
IELM very clear

23
Q

describe media of muscular artery

A

4-10 layers of smooth muscle

24
Q

describe adventitia of muscular artery

A

dense irregular CT
thin - in larger vessels can have vasa vasorum

25
Q

describe how smooth muscle cells look in cross section and longitudinal section of muscular artery

A

cross section = nuclei of smooth muscle appears longitudinal
longitudinal section = smooth muscle appears in cross section

26
Q

describe intima of elastic artery

A

endothelial cell
IELM present but difficult to differentiate between elastic fibers in media

27
Q

describe media of elastic artery

A

smooth muscle appears longitudinal (when in cross section)
10-50 layers of smooth muscle with distinct elastic fibers

28
Q

describe adventitia of elastic artery

A

vasa vasorum for nutrients and oxygen

29
Q

can elastic arteries be easily seen in light microscopy

A

NO
so large that they may not be seen in light microscopy field all at once

30
Q

describe intima of large vein

A

no IELM (absent or undefined)
endothelial cells

31
Q

describe media of large vein

A

can contain some smooth muscle but much less than artery of equivalent size

32
Q

describe adventitia of large vein

A

looks thicker than size of media
has vaso vasorum
