F; goes through liver

33
Q

T or F: only the arterial system has brachiocephalic trunk

A

T; in venous its not called trunk; but has 2 brachiocephalic veins

34
Q

arteries

A

carry blood Away from heart

35
Q

right side of heart -> ____ circulation

A

pulmonary

36
Q

left side of heart -> ____ circulation

A

systemic

37

is circulation in parallel or series

A

parallel

38
Q

circulatory system is delivery system except at

A

capillaries

39
Q

T or F: arteries always carry oxygenated blood

A

F; not in pulmonary arteries (deoxygenated away from heart)

40
Q

4 functions of tunica intima

A

selectively permeable barrier
nonthrombogenic (makes anticoagulants; thromobomodulin, TPA)
modulates vascular resistance (NO, ACE release; but acts on media)
regulate immune response (leukocyte adhesion)

Q

what branch of NS innervates tunica media

A

sympathetic

42
Q

what layer has vaso vasorum

A

adventitia

43
Q

T or F: sympathetic innervation of tunica media always causes constriction

A

F; dilation to skeletal muscles, heart; constrict to skin (pale)

44
Q

branches of aorta that are elastic arteries

A

brachiocephalic trunk, common carotids, subclavian, common iliac

45
Q

what tunica has elastin in elastic arteries

A

media

46
Q

form of elastin in elastic arteries

A

fenestrated sheets

47
Q

T or F: you can see elastic laminas in elastic arteries

A

F; inconspicuous

48
Q

how do elastic arteries modulates BP

A

lower systole, bump up diastole

49
Q

what produces elastin in elastic arteries

A

SMCs

50
Q

examples of muscular arteries
