Week 11 blood vessels and lymphatic system Flashcards
Arteries
Take blood away from heart
Vein
take blood to heart
pulmonary circuit
-Heart to lungs back to heart
-pulmonary arteries, capillaries,viens
-allows oxygen to get in blood, lets off carbon dioxide in lungs
systemic circuit
-heart to body to heart
-systemic arteries, capillaries, veins
-delivers oxygenated blood to tissues, returns deoxygenated blood to heart
what is specific function of systemic arteries
leave heart to deliver blood(high in 02) to all of body cells
what is specific function of Systemic veins
deliver blood (low in 02 ) to heart
What artery do all systemic
arteries originate from?
Aorta
what veins will all systemic veins drain into?
superior/inferior vena cava
What are the general levels of oxygen and CO2 in the blood of a systemic artery?
high in oxygen
low in co2
general levels of 02 and co2 in Systemic vein?
low in oxygen
high in co2
Name and briefly describe the 3 layers of arteries and veins
Tunica intima
tunica media
tunic externa
tunica intima
inner layer
endothelial cells with connective tissue
tunica media
middle layer
connects contractive sheets of smooth muscle
tunica externa
outer layer
anchor vessel to surrounding tissues
What are the main differences between arteries and veins
distribution in the neck and limbs
A- deep, protected by bones and soft tissues
V-two sets, one deep, one superficial
What is the function of capillaries?
exchange substances between blood and tissues
What is the order of vessels the blood flows through in the systemic circuit?
heart
arteries
arterioles
capillaries
granules
veins
What two factors will determine blood flow to tissues
arterial pressure
local vascular resistance
What happens if blood flow to a tissue is blocked?
gangrea
tissues won’t get blood that is needed and will die
List the mechanisms that help veins return blood to the heart from the body
blood pressure
respiratory pump
Skeletal muscle pump
gravity
venoconstriction
Elastic arteries
close to heart that stretch and recoil when a heart beats
muscular arteries
distribute blood to skeletal muscles and internal organs
venules
receive blood from capillaries and send to veins
internal carotid art supplies blood to
brain,eye
external carotid art supplies blood to
external head structures
brachial a supplies blood to
upper extremity
renal a supplies blood to
kidney
radial a supplies blood to
lateral forearm
ulnar a supplies blood to
medial forearm
