Q

do arteries or veins have bigger lumens

veins have larger lumens.

23
Q

do veins or arteries have a thicker adventisia?

A

veins. they are thinner in arteries.

24
Q

T/F: Veins also have an elastic lamina

A

true. arteries have both an internal and external lamina but veins only have an external elastic lamina.

25
arteries, veins, and nerves typically travel together to form a ____ \_\_\_\_
neurovascular bundle.
26
as arteries get smaller, the proportion of elastic tissue ____ and the smooth muscle \_\_\_\_
as arteries get smaller, the proportion of elastic tissue DECREASES and the smooth muscle INCREASES (relative to the walls thickness)
27
Which one is an artery? which one is a vein?
Left= aorta. large tunica media Right= vein (vena cava) Simple squamous endothelial cells (arrows) line the tunica intima (I) which has subendothelial loose connective tissue and is separated from the tunica media by the internal elastic lamina (IEL).
28
what is a vasa vasorum?
Vasa vasorum: is a network of small blood vessels that supply the walls of large blood vessels, such as elastic arteries (e.g. aorta) and large veins (e.g. venae cavae). Nervi vasorum is the same thing but for nervous tissue.
29
3 types of arteries
1) elastic: large arteries (aorta, pulmonary artery) 2) muscular (main branches or arterial tree ex/ femoral, coronary) 3) arterioles:–terminal branches of arterial tree which supply capillary beds
30
\_\_\_\_\_ blood vessels deliver blood into the heart itself
coronary
31
the T.Media in the elastic arteries is very wide and consists of:
–sheets of elastic lamellae, collagen and some smooth muscle. THERE IS NO OBVIOUS EXTERNAL ELASTIC LAMINAE
32
What kind of blood vessel is this?
elastic artery
33
In an elastic artery, the tunica media is dominated by elastic tissue in the form of ___ \_\_\_ (Lamellae), which alternate with ___ \_\_\_\_ .
In an elastic artery, the tunica media is dominated by elastic tissue in the form of FENESTRATED MEMBRANES (Lamellae), which alternate with SMOOTH MUSCLE .
34
what type of blood vessel is this?
elastic artery (aorta). note that the tunica media is large and contains a big amount of elastic fibers in confjuction with smooth muscle.
35
Difference between muscular and elastic arteries.
elastic arteries (most major arteries) have a larger tunica media that contain fenestrated elastic lamellae. The T. media of muscular arteries consists mainly of thick layers of smooth muscle and not as much elastic fibers. The muscular arteries actually have a MORE DEFINED external and internal elastic lamellae around the T.media.
36
what kind of blood vessel is this?
muscular arteries. note the prominent elastic lameallae (external and internal), but not as many elastic fibers in the t.media compared to elastic arteries.
37
T/F arterioles have elastic lamellae.
they do not hve an obvious elastic lamellae. –Tunica. media is 5-6 layers of smooth muscle and T. adventitia is about same thickness as media (in larger ones)
38
what type of blood vessel is this?
arteriole. note the lack of elastic lamellae (even veins have an external elastic lamellae). they are also much smaller than elastic/muscular arteries.
39
Characteristic feature of an arteriole.
Thickness of Tunica **advenetitia** is the **same thickness as tunica mediaà** characteristic feature of an arteriole.
40
The final arteriole before the capillary bed is the \_\_\_. blood flow into the capillary bed is regulated by ___ sphincters, made of smooth muscle fibers around the \_\_\_.
The final arteriole before the capillary bed is the METAARTERIOLE. blood flow into the capillary bed is regulated by PRECAPILLARY sphincters, made of smooth muscle fibers around the metaareriole.
41
Capillaries consist only of _____ on a thin basement membrane plus cells called ____ for structural support.
Capillaries consist only of ENDOTHELIUM on a thin basement membrane plus cells called PERICYTES for structural support.
42
3 types of capillaries
1) continuous 2) fenestrated 3) sinusoids
43
where could you find continous capillaries? what kind of junctions do they have?
–Found in lungs, muscles, connective tissues, exocrine glands, and CNS. They have a complete endothelial lining. - have tight occluding junctions.
44
Where would you find fenestrrated capillaries? Difference between fenestrated and continuous capillaries?
–Found in renal glomeruli, endocrine glands, and intestines. –Are more permeable than continuous capillaries which allows for greater exchange between blood and tissues –Have openings (fenestrae) generally covered by a thin membrane called the diaphragm
45
Where would you find sinusoid capillaries? Do they have pericytes?
–Found in liver, spleen, bone marrow –Larger in diameter –**Large fenestrae** without daphragms. Fenestrae in sinusoids are a lot larger than the fenestrae in the sinusoids. Very common in any type of hemopoetic tissue. –**Gaps between cells and between BM** –**No pericytes**
46
Pressure in the veins is ___ than in arteries
LESS
47
Compared to an artery of comparable size, the lumen is\_\_\_ and the wall of the vein is \_\_\_
Compared to an artery of comparable size, the lumen is larger and the wall of the vein is thinner
48
In veins, is the T.adventitia larger than the T.media? Why does the vein look more collapsed?
yes. Wall has less muscle and elastic tissue and more CT. The vein looks collapsed, there is nothing to keep it open because it has a evry thin wall, not elastic fibers, and a l**ot of advnetitia** (**looser areolar connective tissue and fatty tissue)** exerting pressure.
49
smallest veins
venules
50
in medium veins, their tunica intima is composed of ____ and ___ \_\_\_\_. There is NO INTERNAL ELASTIC MEMBRANE. What does the t.media consist of? Which layer forms the valves?
composed of endothelium and SUBENDOTHELIAL TISSUE but there is no internal elastic membrane. the tunica media consists of SMOOTH MUSCLE, and the tunica externais made of COLLEGEN AND ELASTIC FIBERS. Valves of the medium veins are formed by pockets of tunica interna.
51
what is the thickest layer of of the walls of large veins? Which layer is absent?
the tunica externa is the thickest layer and is composed of elastic and collagen fibers. the tunica media is generally ABSENT.
52
NOTE: ## Footnote VEINS Lack both internal and external elastic laminae (except for the v. cavae – have internal elastic lamina)
53
Label. What is the arrow pointing to in picture b?
V= vein A= artery Ad= adventitia MA= medium artery MV= medium vein(looks super collapsed because adventitia is larger than media) Arrows pointing to the valves of a vein made by the tunica interna
