vascular biology 2 and 3 Flashcards
what are the componets of the tunica medial
lesss connective tissue lots of musclualr tissue
if you see prominent internal and external elastic membran what are you looking at
a muscular artery
what are the changes associated with changes in aging of musclualr artery
thicking of the tunica intima, some reorganixzation of the elastic membrane. Later even more intima less media
if the wall to lumen ration is 1 to 1 what are you looking at
an arteriole
how is blood directed in capilaires
sphictor muscles
how big is the luman of a caplilairy compared to a reb blood cell
just slightly larger to allow it ot leave
what are the three types of capillaires
contiuious, fenestrated , sinusoid
what is a pericyte
embraces the endothylium of campliary contractile cells help pump and can become smooth muscle or fibroblasts, is a mesencylmal cells
what kind of connections do dontinous capullaries have
tight junction between cells
what forms a trans endothelouim chanal in continous capillaires
large numbers of vessicles of endocytoic vessels not leaky fluid
how is the basal lamina in encitnous capillaires
continous
where do you find continous caplilliares
brain muscle connective tissue and exocrine glands
where do you find fenestrated capilliires
in the kidneys endocrine glands int3estines
how are the pores closed in a fenestraed caplilaires
by a thin diaphram
how is the basal lamina in fenestrated capillaires
continous
what is distinicitive about sinosoidal capiliaries
basal mambrane absent or discontinous or absent and large pores
where is the sinusoidal caplilliares found
in the liver red bone marrow spleen andrenal cortex very large door areas of great exchange
what are pericytic venules
the smallest veins
what is the differnce between a venoual and a arterieol
very small limuen porus
when pericutic venuals join up what do they form
muscular venules
why are leaky venuals during inflamation benificial
they allow the movement of luekocytes into the epithilium by passing throught the intercellular junction
what do small veins have that its precursors don’t
smooth muscles, and leaflets that
what do the leaflets do in veins
they function as valves to close the viens when blood flows in the wrong direction.
compared to a artiery how is the tunica media and tunica adventidia
vien tunica media smaller tunica adventicia much larger
