Lab 6: circulatory system Flashcards
name layers from lumen outwards
intima
media
adventitia
describe intima
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
describe media
smooth muscle
collagen type 3 - reticular fibers
elastic fibers
describe elastic fibers of media
visible layers that separate smooth muscles into clear layers
fenestrated elastic membrane
not present in all vessel types
describe adventitia
collagen type 1 (normal CT)
vasa vasorum - supply blood to large blood vessels, vessels of vessels
vasa nervosum
describe plane of section for endothelium
run length of blood vessel
describe plane of section for smooth muscle
when present = run circularly around blood vessel
describe plane of section in cross section
endothelium in cross section
smooth muscle in longitudinal section
describe plane of section in longitudinal section
endothelium in longitudinal section
smooth muscle in cross section
describe capillaries - gen
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
what do capillaries not have
no media or adventitia
describe lumen of capillaries
lined with 1-2 endothelial cells
allows only 1 rbc to fit through
name the 3 types of capillaries
continuous
fenestrated
fenestrated sinusoids
what do the 3 types of capillaries define
3 layers of permeabilization
describe intima of arteriole
endothelium
Subendothelium thin
IELM likely absent
