Lab exam 2 - vessels Flashcards
*look at blood vessel slide and label tunica externa, tunica media, tunica intima and lumen
do it now
why is it good that arteries have thickened vessel walls
it can withstand high pressure, control blood flow and maintain blood pressure
why is it good that veins have thin vessel walls
ensure blood only flows one way
does blood pressure increase or decrease in cold temp. why?
increases
cold temp causes blood vessels to narrow. More pressure is needed to push blood through the blood vessels
does your blood pressure increase or decrease after exercise, why
immediately after= high bp cause body has not been able to ‘rest’ from the exercise
decreases after 5/10 minutes after exercise=force on the blood vessels is decreased
risks of having high bp
stroke, heart attack, anurysm, blocked arteries, kidney problems
risk of low bp
fatigue, dizziness, dehydration, bradycardia, heart failure
what artery(s) are felt when taking HR on the neck and wrist
neck: corotid
wrist: radial
do you expect BP to be higher or lower when taking it on the tibial artery (ankle) as opposed to the brachial artery (arm)
tibial BP will be higher cause it is further from the heart=needs extra resistance to travel
Circulatory pathways: Aorta to right thigh

name the superficial veins of the arm (6) and locate them on yourself
digital
palmar venous arches
median antebrachial vein
basilic vein

cephalic vein
location of digital veins
drain the fingers and leads to the palmar arches of the hand
location of palmar venous arches
drain the hands and fingers and lead to the radial vein, unlar vein, and the median antebrachial vein
