Answer 5

Fenestrated Capillaries

Answer 7

precapillary sphincters

Question 8

The ends of capillaries closest to the arterioles are ________ capillaries

Answer 8

Arterial Capillaries

Question 9

The ends of capillaries closest to the venules are ________ capillaries

Answer 9

Question 10

The three tunics of Arteries and Veins.

Answer 10

Tunica Intime (Inner)
Tunica Media (Middle)
Tunica Adventitia (Outer)

Question 11

There are three types of arteries. What is the Aorta classified as?

Answer 11

Elastic Artery

Question 12

There are three types of arteries. What is the Vena Cava classified as?

Answer 12

The Vena Cava is not an artery

This one was on purpose. I can’t let you feel complacent.

Question 13

What structure among vein blood vessels prevent the back flow of blood?

Answer 13

Valves

Question 14

This results from a loss of elasticity in the aorta, large arteries,
and coronary arteries.

Answer 14

Arteriosclerosis

Question 15

is the deposition of material in the walls of arteries to form distinct plaques. It is a common type of arteriosclerosis.

Answer 15

Atherosclerosis

Greek words athero - meaning gruel or paste

Question 16

This results from smooth muscle contraction and causes a DECREASE in blood vessel diameter, thereby decreasing blood flow through the vessel.

Answer 16

Vasoconstriction

can’t word it as narrowing of the vessel, that’d be offensive to your comprehension

Question 17

This results from smooth muscle relaxation and causes an INCREASE in blood vessel diameter, thereby increasing blood flow through the vessel.

Answer 17

Vasodilation

can’t word it as widening of the vessel, that’d be offensive to your comprehension

Question 18

These vessels are also called conducting arteries because they are the FIRST to receive blood FROM THE HEART, blood pressure is relatively high and fluctuates between systolic and diastolic values due to the pumping action of the heart.

Answer 18

Elastic Arteries

Question 19

These vessels are frequently called distributing arteries because the smooth muscle cells allow them to partially regulate blood supply to different body regions by either constricting or dilating.

Answer 19

Muscular Arteries

Question 20

These vessels are the smallest arteries in which the three
layers can be identified. They transport blood from small arteries to
capillaries.

Answer 20

Arterioles

Question 21

These veins begin in a primary capillary network, extend some distance, and end in a secondary capillary network. This connection is unique in that there is NO PUMPING MECHANISM like the heart between the two capillary networks.

Answer 21

Portal Veins

Question 22

This result when the veins of the lower limbs are
stretched to the point that the valves become incompetent.
Because of the stretching of the vein walls, the flaps of the valves
no longer overlap to prevent the backflow of blood.

Answer 22

Varicose Veins

Question 23

This condition which leads to tissue death caused by a reduction in or loss of blood supply due to severe inflammation and stagnant blood flow in a large area.

Answer 23

Gangrene

Question 24

There are three majoring arteries branching from the aortic arch. Which major branch do the left subclavian and left common carotid originate from?

Answer 24

Both Arteries are independent and major branches

It is the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries that are dependent of the brachiocephalic artery.

Question 25

It is a sudden neurological disorder, often caused by decreased blood supply to a part of the brain. It can be a result of a thrombosis, an embolism, or a hemorrhage. Any one of these conditions can reduce the brain’s blood supply or cause trauma to a part of the brain.

Answer 25

Stroke

Question 26

A measure of the force blood exerts against blood vessel walls.

Answer 26

Blood Pressure

Question 27

What does the release of Epinephrine do to the Heart Rate and Stroke Volume?

Answer 27

increase in HR and SV

Question 28

What does he release of Epinephrine do to the blood vessels?

Answer 28

Vasoconstriction

Question 29

What does the release of Atrial Natriuretic Hormone do to the Blood Volume and Blood Pressure?

Answer 29

decrease in Blood Volume and Blood Pressure

Question 30

What three factors do chemoreceptors respond to?

Answer 30

Blood concentration of O2 Blood concentration of CO2 Blood pH

Question 31

It is a type of shock caused by blood loss due to internal or external bleeding.

Answer 31

Hemorrhagic Shock

Question 32

It is a type of shock caused by vasodilation in response to emotional upset or anesthesia.

Answer 32

Neurogenic Shock

Question 33

It is a type of shock caused by an allergic response in which the release of inflammatory substances increases vasodilation and capillary permeability.

Answer 33

Anaphylactic Shock

Question 34

It is a type of shock that results from peritoneal, systemic, and gangrenous infections that cause the release of toxic substances into the blood (blood poisoning), depressing the activity of the heart and leading to vasodilation and increased capillary permeability.

Answer 34

Septic Shock

Question 35

It is a type of shock that occurs when the heart stops pumping in response to various conditions, such as heart attack or electrocution.

Answer 35

Cardiogenic Shock

Question 36

Blood Vessel on the arm that is often used for drawing blood

Answer 36

Median Cubital Vein

Question 37

In terms of location, why are veins preferable for injected medication?

Question 39

Located on the cervical region, these arteries are discouraged from being pressed on as it may potentially inhibit oxygen delivery to the brain and cause brain damage.
