Q

“endothelium” that lines the entire circulatory system. Cells help in regulation of vessel contraction, protection of cells, mediating capillary permeability and preventing permeability elsewhere.

16
Q

tunica externa. Three primary elements:
elastic and collagen fibers of the external elastic lamina. Again = tough flexibility.
nerves to interact with and regulate smooth muscles of tunica media
vascular system (vasa vasorum) to nourish cells in larger vessels (e.g., aorta, vena cavae, etc.)
connections/anchorage to surrounding tissues.
* Outer protective (rip, stretch, feed) layer.

A

outer layer

17
Q

Vascular smooth muscle is innervated by sympathetic nervous system
increase in stimulation causes muscle contraction or vasoconstriction
decreases diameter of vessel
injury to artery or arteriole causes muscle contraction reducing blood loss (vasospasm)
decrease in stimulation or presence of certain chemicals causes vasodilation
increases diameter of vessel
nitric oxide, K+, H+ and lactic acid cause vasodilation

A

sympathetic innervation

18
Q

Structure: thick-walled elastic, muscular vessels that take blood from the heart under pressure.
Two types: elastic, musclular

A

arteries

19
Q

thick tunica media and both elastic lamina. Ex.: pulmonary, aorta. Stretches, then pushes blood away from the heart.

A

elastic (connecting) arteries

20
Q

thick muscle, low elastic, high collagen = regulation of blood pressure & direction, but do not aid in propelling flow.

A

muscular (distributing) arteries

21
Q

Small arteries delivering blood to capillaries
tunica media containing few layers of muscle
Metarterioles form branches into capillary bed
to bypass capillary bed, precapillary sphincters close & blood flows out of bed in thoroughfare channel
vasomotion is intermittent contraction & relaxation of sphincters that allow filling of capillary bed 5-10 times/minute

A

arterioles

22
Q

Structure: endothelial cell layer only; no tunica media or externa. Desmosomes, tight jcns, but also intercellular clefts between cells.
Types via basement membrane: continous, fenestrated, sinusoid

A

Capillaries

23
Q

complete basement membrane. Most capillaries.

A

continous

24
Q

pores in basement membrane. Increase fluid exchange in kidneys, sm. intestine, and choroid plexes.

A

fenestrated

25
Q

gaps in basement membrane. Allow cell crossing in bone marrow, liver, spleen.

A

sinusoid

26
Q

Essentially the reverse of arterioles, but no bordering muscular sphincter.
Postcapillary venule, muscular venules

A

venules

27
Q

larger than capillary but very loose intercellular endothelial connections allow continued exchange of nutrients, gasses, wastes, etc. No sphincter.

A

postcapillary venule

28
Q

muscle fibers surround thickened endothelium; exchange no longer occurs

A

muscular venules

29
Q

Like arteries, 3 tunics, but
tunica interna and tunica media are much thinner
elastic layers missing
blood with little pressure
veins in extremities have valves to aid return
more veins than arteries, often with interconnected superficial and deep or paired, connected veins following artery
venous sinuses = no tunica media & externa; bordered by connective tissue.

A

veins

30
Q

Twisted, dilated superficial veins
caused by leaky venous valves
congenital or mechanically stressed from prolonged standing or pregnancy
allow backflow and pooling of blood
extra pressure forces fluids into surrounding tissues
nearby tissue is inflamed and tender
Deeper veins not susceptible because of support of surrounding muscles

A

varicose veins

31
Q

3 mechanisms of capillary exchange

MICRO ESSAY

A

Diffusion
Transcytosis
Filtration and Reabsorption

32
Q 
Movement of materials in and out of a capillary
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, 
     and metabolic wastes diffuse 
     between the blood and interstitial 
    fluid along concentration gradients
Oxygen and nutrients pass from 
     the blood to tissues
Carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes 
      pass from tissues to the blood
A

capillary exchange

33
Q

Most important mechanism
Substances move down concentration gradient
through lipid bilayer, fenestrations or intercellular clefts
Lipid soluble substance
Insoluble substance

A

diffusion

34
Q

steroid hormones,
O2 and CO2
diffuse easily

A

lipid soluble substance

35
Q 
glucose and electrolytes 
    must pass through 
    channels, 
   fenestrations, or 
   intercellular clefts
A

insoluble substance

36
Q

Passage of material across endothelium in tiny vesicles by endocytosis and exocytosis
large, lipid-insoluble molecules such as insulin or maternal antibodies passing through placental circulation to fetus

A

transcytosis

37
Q

Movement of large amount of dissolved or suspended material in same direction
Move in response to pressure - from area of high pressure to area of low
Regulates relative volumes of blood & interstitial fluid
Comprised of: filtration (movement of material into interstitial fluid) + reabsorption (movement from interstitial fluid into capillaries)

A

Bulk Flow: Filtration and Reabsorption
