Vessels- the vasculature Flashcards
what pumps the blood to the aorta into systemic circulation
left ventricle
what is the order of the path of blood
largest vessels (aorta for oxygenated blood) to largest arteries to medium arteries all the way down to smallest arteriorles to capillaries
what are the smallest blood vessels
systemic capillaries
where is the exchange of molecules between the blood and the tissue found at
capillary and venules
oxygen goes into _____
co2 is taken into the _______, blood is _____ and moves back o the right heart.
-what path does it take to get tere?
tissue beds
capillaries, deoxygenated
small venuoles, medium veins, large vein, vena cava then into right heart
after the right heart where does the blood go to
lung
what are the site of gas exchange at the lungs
pulmonary capillaries
when the blood is oxygenated after going to the lungs, where does it go to get back to the heart
moves into the veins of the pulmonary system to go back to the heart
veins =
arteries =
blood to heart
blood away from heart
arteries in the lungs are not ____ yet, it goes into the lungs and is _____ when its a vein
oxygenated
oxygenated
exception to the circuitry rule is….
portal systems
capillary system in intestines that brings blood to the capillaries in the liver. what conects the 2
hepatic portal vein
what is a portal system
vein or arteriole interposed btwn 2 capillary networks
what is between capillaries in the kidney (glomerulus) and capillaries in vasa recta
renal efferent arteriole
vessels have 3 different layers, waht are they
tunica intima (aka interna), tunica media, tunica adventitia (aka externa)
elastic arteries are how big
> 1cm
which layer in elastic arteries is thick and has connective tissue and simple squamous cells
intima
which layer in elastic artiers is the thickest, fenestrated, concentric sheets elastin, collagen, some smooth muscle
media
which layer in elastic arteries is thin. and has collagen, elastic, fibroblasts, vaso v, nervi vascularis
adventitia
which 2 layers are difficult to distinguish
intima and media
what is the blood vessel supply
vaso vasorum
what is the size of muscular arteries
medium and small
which layer has squamous epithelium
tunica intima
which layer is a looser CT and has innervation of blood and nervous system in large arteries
tunica adventitia
the internal elastic lamina is very prominent in what? and not so much in what?
medium artiers
large artieries
in small arteries, the tunica media has only ____ layer of smooth muscle
1
in muscular (medium) arteries, intima is…
thinner, endothelium with BM, dense wavy internal elastic membrane (IEM)
in muscular arteries, media is….
smooth muscle, some collagen
in muscular artiers, adventia looks
looks the same as elastic arteries
