3 coats of blood vessel wall
Tunica intima
Tunica media
Tunica adventitia
Also known as tunica interna
Tunica intima
Simple squamous epithelium lining the blood vessel wall
Endothelium
Composed of smooth muscle and elastic fiber ; thickest coat
Tunica media
Also known as tunica externa
Tunica adventitia
Distributing blood vessels that leave the heart measuring 4 mm ; thickest walls of the vascular systems
Arteries
Microscopic continuation of arteries that give off branches called metarterioles, which in turn join the capillaries ; measuring 30 um
Arterioles
Collecting blood vessels that return to the heart ; larger , have a more irregular lumen than arteries ; measuring 5 mm
Veins
Microscopically sized veins; connect the capillaries to the veins ; measuring 20 um
Venules
Blood passes from the arterial to the venous via the ___ ; measuring 8 um
Capillaries
Specialized types of capillaries found in locations such as the bone marrow, spleen and liver
Sinusoids
Aka prostaglandin I2
Prostacyclin
Inhibits platelet activation ; penetrates the platelet and bind at its IP receptor
Prostacyclin
produced by the eicosanoid pathway in endothelial cells
Prostacyclin
Stimulates vasodilation
Adenosine
A thrombin factor that binds thrombin and reduces its ability participate in clotting process
Thrombomodulin
Thrombomoduling + thrombin, activate what (2)
Protein C
TAFI (thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor)
It inactivates factors Va and VIIIa
Activated protein C
An antifibrinolytic enzyme produced by thrombomodulin and thrombin
TAFI (thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhbitor)
Weakly enhances antithrombin (previously called Antithrombin III)
Heparan sulfate
Major plasminogen activator
TPA (tissue plasminogen activator)
Aka fibrinolysin ; enzyme that dissolves clot
Plasmin
Aka fibrinolysin ; enzyme that dissolves clot
Plasmin
Aids in platelet adhesion ; act as a carrier protein for factor VIII
VWF
