53
Q

What 3 layers do all blood vessels have except capillaries

Tunica intima (inner) 
Tunica media (middle) 
Tunica adventitia (outer)
54
Q

What is initma

A

Single endothelial layer connected to connecticr tissue. It allows to be battier to pkasma proteins etc

55
Q

What is media

A

Smooth musclr layer vsrying in elastin and collagen thickness (for elasticity and contractile power)

56
Q

What is adventitia and role

A

Connrctive tissue sheath which tethers vessels loosely in place

57
Q

What does the advetitia have in latge arteries

A

Small blood cessles (vaso vasorum) which penetrste the media for hetter blood supply

58
Q

What else can latge arteries contain

A

Nociceptice sensory fibres snd sumpathetic plexi

59
Q

What vlood cessels are the most richbin elastin media and gicr examples

A

Elastic arteries ef aorta and PA and iliac arteries

60
Q

What is their diamter

A

1-2 cm

61
Q

What forms the diastolic bp in elastic arteries

A

Recoil back after expanding in systole

62
Q

What are the second latgest vessles and examples

A

Muscular/conduit arteries eg radial, coronary, cerebral

63
Q

Diameter

A

0.1-1cm

64
Q

Is their media thicker than elastin arteries

A

Yes and They have a samller lumen sue to more smooth muscle (less elastin)

65
Q

Why do they have more muscle in media

A

To prefent collapsing eg at corners like elbows so radial needs muscle

66
Q

What do they lack

A

Elastin and collagen

67
Q

What are they innervwted by

A

Ans

68
Q

What is their role

A

Limitation of vlood loss

69
Q

Which vessels reg blood flow to limbs

A

Arterioles

70
Q

Diameter

A

Third largest at below 0.1cm

71
Q

Do they havr a latge lumen

A

No, small limen for resistance

72
Q

What are differences between proximal and distal (closer to capillaries)

A

Proximal is innerveted by sns as have much more smooth muscle

Distal has less smooth muscle and isnt innervated (too floee to capillsries)

73
Q

What sre wide shunt vessles called which bypass capillary beds

A

Arteriovenous anastomoses

74
Q

Where are the only av anastomoses and why

A

Nasal and skin mucosa

In nose to warm air
Skin for temp reg

75
Q

What are they innervated by

A

Sns

76
Q

What are anastomoses

A

Connection between 2 bessels

77
Q

Dimater of cenules vs veins

A

Venules = 0.05-0.2 cm vs veins 0.2 cm or smaller

78
Q

Do they have a thin or thick tunica media with sm and collagen

A

V thin (larger lumen)

79
Q

What do the intima have in limbs if veins

A

Valves

80
Q

Why do veins have low resistance

A

Many of them and latger lumen than artieries/arterioles

81
Q

What are they called capacitance vessels

A

Carry 2/3 of blood

82
Q

Why is it imporant veins are innervsted by sns for contrsction

A

Allows smooth muscle contraction which displaces blood resergoir to the tissues

83
Q

What is the white disc called in fentre of thorax which has the ooesphoagus and ivc in it

A

Central tendon

84
Q

What is the diamter of single endothelial capillaries

A

Below 0.007 cm (even smaller than venules at 0.05-0.1

85
Q

Are capillaries smaller than arteriovenous anastomoses

A

Yes. Theyre around same as venules

86
Q

Why does coronary arteries fill only in relaxation

A

In contraction sl valves of aorta open and block the ca but they close during relaxation so backflow goes to ca

87

Infarction which is dead tissue due to lack of oxygen eg blockage becomes severe

93
Q

What does infarction cause to do with san that needs defibrillator

A

Fibrillation means lack of rhythm

94
Q

How is it treated

A

Ischemia is via a healthier lifestyle

Infarction needs clot bursting agent or defibrillator

A

They aren’t interconnected functional synctium, they are electrically separate and linear

99
Q
