Q

Which type of Ct occurs in the bone marrow cavity

21
Q

List statements about arteries

A

Have smaller lumens that veins of similar size
Walls are thicker than veins
More elastic than veins

22
Q

Capillaries consist of only this layer

A

Tunica intima

23
Q

Wide leaky capillaries found in bone marrow and spleen

24
Q

Present in most capillaries, these structures are absent in those of the blood brain barrier

A

Intercellular clefts

25
Vessels of the small intestines, renal glomerulus, and synovial membranes that allow passage of fluid and solutes through “windows”in the endothelium
Fenestrated capillaries
26
Which layer of blood vessels contains smooth muscle tissue
Tunica media
27
Most small molecules pass through a capillary wall through which route
Through intercellular clefts
28
Functionally, they’re no valves in arteries because....
The blood pressure in arteries in high enough that there is no backflow of blood
29
Blood pressure is high in the
Elastic artieries
30
Fenestrated capillaries have what
Pores in their walls
31
The largest molecules that pass through the walls in continuous or fenestrated capillaries are thought to use which route
Pinocytotic vesicles
32
T/F systemic blood pressure is regulated by adjusting the diameter of arterioles
True
33
What is the function of valves in veins
They counteract low venous pressure, and prevent backflow of blood away from the heart
34
What are wide leaky capillaries that occur in regions where there is movement of large materials, such as proteins or cells, between blood and tissue
Sinusoids
35
Blood flow through heart
``` 1 Superior veins cava, inferior veins cava, coronary sinus 2 right atrium 3tricuspid valve 4 right ventricle 5 pulmonary semilunar valve 6 pulmonary trunk 7 to lungs 8 four pulmonary veins 9 left atrium 10mitral valve 11 aortic semilunar valve 12 aorta 13 to body ```
36
What heart chamber pumps oxygenated blood around the systemic circuit is the
Left ventricle
37
Which heart chamber has the thickest myocardium
Left ventricle because it pumps blood at a higher pressure
38
Serous fluid in the pericardial cavity is secreted by the
Epithelial cells of both layers of the serous pericardium
39
What’s the layer of the serous pericardium and is also known as the epicardium
Visceral layer
40
The parietal cavity lies between
The parietal pericardium and the visceral pericardium
41
Epicardium is the same as
Visceral layer of serous pericardium
42
Which layer in the layers of the heart contains cardiac muscle
Myocardium
43
Which areas of the heart are innervated by parasympathetic nerve fibers
SA and AV nodes
44
Branches of the vagus nerve supply what and causes what
Parasympathetic innervation to the heart which slows the heart rate
45
List the conduction sequence through the heart
SA node, AV node, AV bundle, bundle branches, Purkinje fibers
46
What is the effect of parasympathetic fibers carried by the vagus nerve
They slow the heart beat
47
Why is the only path of conduction for impulse transmission from the atria to the ventricles through the Avnode and the Av bundle
The atria and ventricles are insulated from each other by the fibrous skeleton of the heart
48
T/F the electrical signal that begins each heart beat occurs at the SA node
True
