Wk 11 Blood Vessels Flashcards
List the three major types of blood vessels:
- Arteries
- Capillaries
- Veins
Which blood vessel carries blood away from the heart?
Arteries
Which blood vessel carries blood toward the heart?
Veins
Which of the three vessels has the thickest smooth muscle layer?
Arteries (Tunica Media)
Which of the three vessels contains valves to prevent backflow?
Veins
Which of the three vessels has the thinnest layer of endothelial lining?
Capillaries
What are the three major classes of capillaries? How are they different from one another?
- Continuous = Full basement membrane with Intercellular cleft
- Fenestrated = Full basement membrane
- Sinusoid = Incomplete basement membrane with Intercellular gap
Name the two major structures that exist in fetal circulation but not adult.
- Formane ovale
- Ductus arteriosus
As we go through blood vessels, list all of the arteries that are commonly used to take a pulse:
- Brachial artery
- Radial artery
- Femoral artery
- Right common carotid artery
- Left common carotid artery
- Popliteal artery
- Abdominal aorta
- Dorsalis pedis artery
- Posterior tibial artery
What is found in blood plasma?
- Cells & Dissolved materials
- H2O, nutrients, gases, ions, & proteins
What is found in the formed element component of blood?
- Blood cells
~ Erythrocytes (Red blood cells)
~ Leukocytes (White blood cells)
~ Platelets (Thrombocytes)
What molecule binds to oxygen in red blood cells?
Hemoglobin
Where can antigens be found in the blood?
Surface of red blood cells
Where can antibodies be found in the blood?
Blood plasma

What are the functions of different white blood cell types?
- Leukocytes = defends body from disease
- Granular leukocytes
~ Neutrophils = Phagocytize (absorb) bacteria
~ Eosinophils = Neutralize parasitic worms & mediate allergic responses
~ Basophils = Opposes blood clotting & promotes inflammation (swollen & hot red pain) - Agranular leukocytes
~ Lymphocytes = Differentiate in lymphoid tissue
~ NK cells = Give quick response to cells that don’t express “self” proteins
~ B cells = Target certain pathogens (virus that makes disease) by making antibodies
~ T cells = Turn on immune response & physically assault cells with diseases
~ Monocytes =
+ “Find and destroy germs (viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa) and get rid of infected cells.
+ Call on other white blood cells to help heal injury and stop infection” (Cleveland Clinic).
~ Macrophages =
+ Absorb pathogens
+ Display antigens to immune cells
+ Attract Leukocytes to infected location
Draw and label red blood cells of the following types: A-, B+, AB-, O+

Compare and contrast how blood flows from the aorta to the left versus the right upper
extremity. Name the arteries that are involved in transporting oxygenated blood to
those respective regions.
- For Right Upper Extremity:
Aorta > Brachiocephalic Artery > Common Carotid Artery
For Left Upper Extremity:
Aorta > Left Common Carotid Artery - Right Internal Carotid Artery, Right Vertebral Artery, Right Common Carotid Artery, Right Subclavian Artery, Brachioephalic Artery, Left Internal Carotid Artery, Left Vertebral Artery, Left Common Carotid Artery, & Left Subclavian Artery
