the bv Flashcards
three major luminal wall layers found in almost all bv, which are a continuation of the hearts histo layers
tunica intima
tunica media
tunica adventitia
- tunica intima is a continuation of the __
- tunica media continuation of __
- tunica adventitia continuation of ___
endocardium
mycardium
epicardium
elastic arteries AKA
-eg aorta, common iliacs, carotid, brachiocephalic, subclav
conducting arteries
in elastic art. tunica intima is composed of
- attenuated ___
- thin/incomplete internal elastic lamina
- thicker __ with elastic fibers, collagen I, fibroblasts, smooth musc
endothelium
CT
in elastic a. tunica media is made primarily of ___ sheets of elastic fibers w/ some collagen I & smooth musc
- poss thin external elastic lam
- outer usually has __ __
fenestrated
vasa vasorum
in elastic a. tunica adventitia is made of loose fibroelastic ct and ___ ___ are numerous
vasa vasorum
muscular arteries aka
-eg brachial, radial, renal, femora
distributing arteries
musc a. tunica intima is very __,
- endothelium
- some CT, a few __ musc cells
- __ elastic lamina
thin
ct
internal
musc a tunica media is most dominant and thickest, and primarily ___ ___ muscle and richly innervated with ___ so it has a strong cnxn over a sm area
circular smooth
sympathetics
musc a. tunica adventitia is fibroelastic ct w/ sulfated __
- fibroblasts
- vasa vasorum : small bv
GAGs
in arterioles, the tunica intima has no __ elastic lamina, and the tunica media has no __ elastic lamina
-tunica adventitia is sim to musc a.
internal
elastic
thickest most dom wall layer in arteriole
tunica media
what gen tissue type makes up the tunica adventitia of areries
ct
which type of artery has most developed internal elastic lamina
muscular a.
which is the thinnest of the major luminal wall layers in arteries
tunica intima
