Q

(Blood Vessel Layers)
Tunica Intima?

A

Smooth Muscle Cells

17
Q

Inside of Blood Vessels is lined with?

A

Endothelium

18
Q

Elastic Arteries?

A

-Thick tunica media
-Lots of elastic fibers (purple)
-Ex. aorta + pulmonary trunk

19
Q

Muscular Arteries?

A

-Thick tunica media
-Lots of smooth muscle cells (many nuclei)

20
Q

Medium Veins?

A

-Thin tunica media (elastic + reticular fibers, SMCs)
-Adventitia blends in with surrounding CT
-Irregularly shaped

21
Q

Large Veins - Vena Cava?

A

-Thin tunica media (elastic + reticular fibers, SMCs)
-May contain valves (unlike arteries)

22
Q

Arterioles?

A

-1-2 layers of SMCs
-Metarterioles control flow from arteriole into capillary

23
Q

Capillaries?

A

-Characterized by 1 layer of endothelium
-Continuous
-Fenestrated
-Sinusoidal

24
Q

(Capillaries)
Continuous Capillaries?

A

Muscle + Nerve tissue
(fully intact membrane)
(NO diffusion)

25
Q

(Capillaries)
Fenestrated Capillaries?

A

Digestive organs + pancrease
(perforated membrane)
(some diffusion)

26
Q

(Capillaries)
Sinusoidal Capillaries?

A

Liver + Spleen + Bone Marrow
(incomplete membrane)
(diffusion of large products)

27
Q

Neuromuscular Bundle?

A

Nerve, artery, vein, and lymph surrounded by fascial sheath (CT)

28
Q

Myocardial Infarct?

A

Heart Attack

29
Q

Blockage of coronary arteries leads to?

A

Complete loss of blood flow and muscle tissue dies

30
Q

Neutrophils + Macrophages come into area to?

A

Clear out dead (necrotic cells)

31
Q

Fibroblasts use collagen to?

A

Form scar tissue
