Lecture 22: Blood and Lymph Flashcards
3 layers of blood vessels
- tunica interna - thin endothelium
- tunica media - smooth muscle
- tunica externa - CT sheath around outside of vessel
3 types of blood vessels
arteries
veins
lymphatics
arteries =
1. appearance:
2: tunica interna: internal __ membrane
3. tunica media: __ muscle layer
4. tunica externa: __ and ___
carry blood away from the heart to the tissues
1. round, thick walls aka garden hose
2. elastic
3. thick
4. collagen and elastic fibers
veins =
1. appearance:
2. tunica interna: __ walls, no __ membrane
3. tunica media: __ muscle layer
4. tunica externa: __ and few ___
return blood to the heart from the tissues
1. not always round, thin walls aka sock
2. smooth, elastic
3. thin
4. collagen and FEW elastic fibers
lymphatics =
1. very __ walled vesseled with __ valves
return lymph (interstitial fluid) to the heart
1. thin, small
where is the blood?
1. __% - heart & lungs
2. __% - brain, arteries, capillaries
3. __% - skin, gut, liver, veins
- 15%
- 20%
- 65%
vasoconstriction of a vessel =
decrease in diameter
vasodilation of a vessel =
increase in diameter
fight/flight response (___)
1. dilation of capillary beds in ___
2. restriction of blood supply to __
sympathetic
1. muscles
2. gut
rest/digest response (___)
1. redistribute blood to ___ (increase __ absorption)
2. dilation of capillary beds in __ (increase delivery of __)
parasympathetic
1. gut, food
2. gut, blood
- arteries lead __ from the heart
- arteries branch into __ and __ arteries
- veins lead __ the heart
- veins combine into __ and __ veins
- AWAY
- smaller and smaller
- TOWARD
- larger and larger
anastomotic fluke =
2 arteries running into one another
collateral circulation =
blood flow running parallel to one another
arteriosclerosis =
abnormal thickening/ rigidity of arteries
aneurysm =
bulge in weakened arterial wall
embolus =
drifting clot in the circulation
embolism =
blockage due to the clot
ischemia =
restricted blood supply to an organ
infarction =
localized cell death in an organ
cerebrovascular accident =
stroke
median cubital
where we draw blood from
superficial vein
___ veins help cool the body because they have more blood in them
superficial
varicose veins =
veins swollen/distorted by valve failure
hemorrhoids =
varicose veins of the rectum and anus
