Blood vessel CS part 2 Flashcards
(130 cards)
what are part of the cardio system & comprise the portion commonly referred to as the circulatory system
Blood vessels
What are the two sets of blood vessels?
pulmonary and systemic vessels
What. vessel transports blood from L ventricle through body and back to R atrium?
Systemic vessels
What vessel transport blood form R ventricle though lungs and back to L atrium?
Pulmonary Vessels
What are the three main type of vessels that form continuous passageway from heart, body, back to heart?
Arteries, capillaries, Veins.
In blood vessels, internal to outer walls consist of 3 tissue layers, what are they?
Tunica intima/inetrna (inner)
Tunica Media ( middle)
Tunica externa (outer)
The internal layer of Tunica Interna consist of 4 layers, what are they?
- Endothelium
- Basement membrane
- Lamina Propria
- Internal Elastic Membrane
What layer separates Tunica internal from tunica media?
Internal Elastic Membrane
An increase in blood vessel diameter resulting from smooth muscle relaxation
Vasodilation
A decrease in blood vessel diameter, resulting from contraction of these smooth muscles
Vasoconstriction
In tunica media, what increases blood flow through vessels?
Vasodilation
In tunica media, what decreases blood flow through vessels ?
Vasoconstriction
What is the tunica media consist of ?
Smooth muscle and External Elastic membrane.
In what specific muscle does vasoconstriction and vasodilation take place?
Smooth muscle
What tissue is the Tunica Externa made up of ?
Connective tissue
What are the type of arteries?
Elastic, muscular, and arterioles.
A blood leaves ventricles, what are the steps is takes to transition to other arteries?
first travels through elastic arteries, which transition to muscular arteries, then to arterioles.
Which arteries recoil when stretched to prevent blood pressure from falling rapidly?
Elastic arteries because it has a lot of elastic tissue.
which arteries is affected by fluctuations in blood pressure ?
Elastic Arteries.
Which two membranes merge in the elastic arteries?
Internal & external elastic membrane.
What artery wall has meshwork of elastic fibers & interspersed smooth muscle, some collagenous fiber?
Tunica Media
Where is the blood pressure relatively high due to closeness to ventricles ?
Elastic arteries (conduction arteries)
Where can all 3 layers of artery wall can be identified?
The arterioles arteries, smallest
What is the most common type of blood vessel?
Capillaries
