Q

What is the function of an artery, is the blood oxygenated or not?

Q

Describe an artery’s structure and what the features do and does it have valves?

A

-thick walls-helps carry at high pressure
-lots of elastic tissues near heart- maintain pressure
-no valves
-larger size
-narrower lumen

17
Q

functions of a capillary

A

substance exchange - where oxygen and carbon dioxide is exchanged

18
Q

draw a capillary and say it’s size

A

in book

19
Q

describe the structure of a capillary and what the features do

A

-1 cell thick walls to allow diffusion
-very small lumen diameter
-no valves

20
Q

functions of a vein

A

carries blood from organs to the heart

21
Q

is the blood in veins oxygenated

A

deoxygenated other than the pulmonary vein

22
Q

draw a diagram of a vein and say it’s size

A

in book

23
Q

describe the structure of a vein and what the features do

A

-valves- stop the blood from flowing backwards
-large size-helps more blood flow through
-thin walls-low pressure
- the surrounding muscles tense which is want makes the blood go through the vein

24
Q

blood pressure is measured in..

A

mmHg

25
Q

what are the 2 types of blood pressure

A

systolic and diastolic

26
Q

systolic blood pressure is when..

A

the blood is flowing through the artery (pulse), highest blood pressure, when the left ventricle contracts to pump blood through the aorta

27
Q

diastolic blood pressure is when..

A

there isn’t blood flowing through the artery, the blood pressure is lower, when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood

28
Q

the typical blood pressure is between..

A

90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg

29
Q

blood pressure is..

A

the force of blood per unit area as it travels through the blood vessels

30
Q

as the … ventricle contracts, an … in blood pressure caused the … to expand and contract which can be felt as a … in the major arteries

A

left, increase, aorta, pulse

31
Q

what happens to the aorta when the left ventricle contracts

A

it expands and contracts

32
