26
Q

Distributing vessels have

A

a thicker tunica media due to an increase in smooth muscles

27
Q

Conducting vessels like aorta have

A

large amount of elastic fibers that allow it to expand to propel blood forward during systole

28
Q

Have greatest amount of smooth muscle and dilate and constrict selectively to meet the metabolic needs of an organ or tissue

A

Arterioles

29
Q

capillaries are composed of

A

a single endothelial layer
smallest most numerous vessels in the body
-responsble f

30
Q

Stroke volume and cardiac output

A

impact the volume and velocity of blood flow through the body

31
Q

systole

A

forces blood out of the heart and into the conducting vessels of the circulatory system

32
Q

pressure that is stored in the artery walls propels the blood forward in

A

Diastole

33
Q

Peripheral resistance

A

controls the volume and velocity of blood flow into specific regions of the body

34
Q

primary role of arterioles

A

altering resistance

35
Q

Named the resistive component of the circulatory system

A

Arterioles

36
Q

Through ______ and_____ the arterioles alter the flow from pulsatile within larger vessels to a constant steady flow within the capillaries.

A

Through vasoconstriction and vasodilation

37
Q

Velocity of flow must____ to allow transfer of oxygen and nutrients to tissues and transport waste products into the venous system, to be returned to the heart and restart the cycle

A

Decrease

38
Q

Required to maintain the velocity of flow

A

a vast capillary network

39
Q

Pulsed doppler utilizes____to visualize the doppler signal and display physiologic date of blood flow

A

spectral analysis

40
Q

To accurately evaluate hemodynamic functions and obtain velocity information

A

an angle of intonation of 60 degrees or less with respect to the blood flow vectors and the vessel walls should be used.

41
Q

Sample volume

A

gate along with an angle correction

Obtains blood velocity, direction of flow and downstream resistance from a specific region within a specific blood vessel.

42
Q

Spectral doppler (pulsed wave)
