Lecture 22 EXAM 4 Flashcards
what are the 3 tunics of blood vessels?
tunica interna - thin endothelium
tunica Media - smooth Muscle
tunica externa - CT sheath around outside of vessel
What are the 3 types of blood vessles?
- Arteries - AWAY
- Veins - TO the heart
- Lymphatics - return lymph (interstitial fluid) to the heart
What does the tunica interna, media, externa in ARTERIES
round and thick walls
tunica interna - internal elastic membrane
tunica media - thick muscular layer
tunica externa - collagen and elastic fibers
What does the tunica interna, media, externa in VEINS?
Not always round, thin walls
tunica interna - smooth walls, no elastic membrane
tunica media - thin muscle layer
tunica externa - collagen and few elastic fibers
describe the blood vessel = Lymphatics ?
return lymph (intersitial fluid) to heart - VERY thin walled vessels with small valves
Where is all the blood ?
Heart and lungs = 15%
brain, arteries, capillaries = 20%
Skin, gut, liver, veins = 65%
What controls blood vessel diameter?
tunica media
What happens a BV vasoconstricts?
decrease in diameter
What happen when a BV vasodialates?
increase in diameter
What happens to BV in sympathetic response?
flight/fight
- DILATION of capillary beds in muscles = increase O2 delivery
- RESTICTION of blood supply to gut (redistribution blood)
What happens to BV in parasympathetic?
rest/digest
- REDISTRIBUTE blood to gut (increase food absorption)
- DILATION of cap. beds in gut (increase delivery of blood)
What is an aneurysm?
Arteries = bulge in arterial wall
What is varcose veins?
varrcosity = VEINS
- veins swollen/distorted by valve failure
what is arteriosclerosis?
abnormal thickening/ridgity of arteries
What is ischemia?
Restricted blood supply to an organ
what is a Stroke called?
cerebrovascular Accident = CVA
What are hemorrhoids?
varicose veins of the rectum and anus
What are the Venous drainage system of limbs and skin?
- superficail v. deep veins
- varicose veins
- hemorrhoids
Medium and large veins have VALVES**
Where are the superficial veins of the arm and where are they located?
cephalic (ceiling) - top of arm
basilic (basement) - bottom of arm
medial cubital - where they meet at elbow region
what are the superficial veins of the leg?
great saphenous
small saphenous
What does the external carotid supply blood to?
Skin and muscles of back
What supply’s blood to the brain tissue?
- internal carotid canal via carotid canal
- vertebral a. via foramen magnum
- all branches held in place by arachnoid matter
what is the arterial circle?
aka circle of willis
- made up of internal carotid a. and basilar a.
- anastomoic ring than enclosed pituitary gland
- distribution loop for arterial supply to brain
- important pharmelogical/ physiological properties
what makes up the blood brain barrier?
astrocytes (neuroglia) and endothelial cells
- restricted permeability
- control chemical exchange btw brain and blood
Why does the neural tissue have to be isolated from general circulation?
- because circulating chemicals have disruptive effects
