Vascular System Flashcards
general cellular structure of capillary
simple squamous endothelium with basal lamina
no media, no advnetitia
transported by continuous capillaries
oxygen
Bevacizumab =
anti VEGF monoclonal antibody = anti-angiogenesis
tunic of epicardium
t adventitia
type III capillaries sinusoidal
discontinuous, largest
transported by fenestrated capillaries
hormones, nutrients, ions
role of medium sized vessels
smooth muscle cells regulate BP
transported by sinusoidal discontinuous capillaries
whole cells
Type 1 capillaries, continuous
tight junctions admit only
pinocytic vesicles present passage of proteins
(pvs not present in CNS)
tunic of endocardium
t. intima
tunic of myocardium
t. media
foam cells of antheroscelrosis
macrophages ingest LDL
SMC cells migrate to intima, ingest LDL
type II capilaries, fenestrated
100 nm windows - permanent pinocytotic vesicles
intimal plaques from foam cells =
antherosclerosis
