25
Q

What is the difference between the pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit?

A

Pulmonary - carries blood to gas exchange at lungs
Systemic - carries blood to and from body

26
Q

What are the layers of the heart wall? (3)

A

Epicardium - (outer layer) visceral pericardium that covers heart
Myocardium - (middle layer) muscular wall of heart
Endocardium - (inner layer) endothelium

27
Q

What are the types of arteries? (3)

A

Elastic - large amounts of elastin, largest
Muscular - Smooth muscle, controlled by sympathetic NS
Arterioles - smallest branches of arteries

28
Q

What are the types of veins? (3)

A

Venule - collects blood from capillaries
Medium - closer to organs
Large - closer to heart

29
Q

What are the functions patterns of blood vessels? (3)

A
  1. Peripheral arteries + vein distribution is the same on left + right except at heart
  2. Same vessel may have different names at different locations
  3. Tissues and organs usually have multiple arteries and veins.
