25
Q

what does the Nodal part do?

A

regulates contraction of the heart

26
Q

what does ANF do?

A

stimulates diuresis and excretion of Na+ in urine by INC GFR and reducing blood volume

27
Q

what is the Vasa Vasorum

A

tunica externa

28
Q

what is the tunica externa made of?

A

loose CT with elastic and collagen fibers

29
Q

what is the tunica media made of?

A

circularly arranged smooth m. cells

30
Q

what is the tunica intima made of?

A

internal elastic layer, endothelium and subendothelial layer

31
Q

what are the 2 major characteristics of large elastic arteries?

A

receive blood from the heart under high pressure

keep blood circulating continuously while the heart is pumping intermittently

32
Q

when do large elastic arteries distend?

A

during systole

33
Q

where are large amounts of fenestrated elastic sheaths found?

A

tunica media

34
Q

what is the terminal arteriole called?

A

metarteriole

35
Q

what are some medium sized arteries?

A

axillary, radial, mesenteric, popliteal, intercostal, tibial, splenic

ARM PITS

36
Q

what are the major determinants of systemic blood pressure?

A

arterioles

37
Q

what constitutes a microvascular bed of a tissue?

A

capillaries, arterioles, post capillary venules

38
Q

where does continuous blood flow occur?

A

preferential/thoroughfare channels

39
Q

where does intermittent blood flow occur?

A

true (small) capillaries

40
Q

what is the functional unit of the cardiovascular system?

A

capillaries

41
Q

what do the capillaries contain?

A

tunica intima w/basement membrane and endothelium only

42
Q

what are continuous capillaries lined by?

A

endothelium w/tight junctions and a basal lamina w/pericytes

43
Q

where are fenestrated capillaries located?

A

GI and Kidney

44
Q

where are sinusoidal capillaries located?

A

liver and spleen

45
Q

what is the preferred site of migration of blood cells into tissues?

what is this called?

A

postcapillary venules

diapedesis

46
Q

where are there no lymphatic capillaries?

A

cartilage, bone, epithelia, CNS, placenta

47
Q

lymphatic drainage by intrinsic contraction involves what?

A

vessels expand, smooth m. of the wall contracts, automatic pump called lymphangions

48
Q

how does extrinsic contraction operate?

A

external factors ie. contraction of the surrounding m., arterial pulsations, compression of tissues by forces outside the body cause pumping

49
Q

what is edema?

A

impaired lymph drainage, excess fluid in tissue spaces

50
Q

what is parasitic infection of lymphatic vessels by Wuchereria bancrofti or Brugia malayi worms that causes chronic lymphedema of legs and genitals?

A
