the heart can beat on its own as it has specialized cardiac cells that initiate electrical signals.
41
what doe the P wave represent
the atrial contractions
42

results from depolarization of ventricles and repolarization of atria.
43
what does the T Wave represent
repolarization of the ventricles
44

relaxing
46
what is atrial systole
atria are contracting and the ventricles are relaxed.
47
What is early ventricular systole
the beginning of ventricular contraction.
48
What is late ventricular systole.
semilunar valves are forced open due to pressure on blood is ventricles is greater than blood pressure in the arterial trunks.
49
what is stroke volume
the amount of blood pumped out during ventricular systole
50
what is the blood remaining in a ventricle at the end of systole
ESV -end systolic volume
51
Define Arteries
Transport blood away from the heart/there is no exchange of substances with the surrounding tissues
52
Define Veins
Transport blood toward the heart /no exchange of substances with surrounding tissues
53
Define Capillaries
Exchange of substances with surrounding tissues
54
Do arteries or veins have valves
veins
55
why do veins have valves
they are further from the heart and have to get back to the heart.
56
why do arteries have thicker walls
there is more pressure in the arteries and arteries can constrict and dialate
57
what is arterschlerosis
Hardening of the arteries and arteries are prone to injuries due to higher blood pressure. this does not happen in Veins as they do not have the high blood pressure.
58
Arteries are narrower than veins true of false
true
59
What are the layers of veins and arteries called
tunic
60
What is tunica media
do not exist in capillaries
61
What is the tunica externa
not found in caillary
62
what is a Vasa Vasorum
Some blood vessels need their own blood supply (only in very large blood vessels)
63
What is the thickest layer of artery
tunica media
64
Are the tunics in arteries or veins more elastic
artery are more flexible
65
What are the largest kind of arteries
elastic arteries
66
What are the smallest arteries
Arterioles
67
What are the elastic arteries
branches of the aorta- brachiocephalic arteries, common carotid arteries, subclaven arteries, common iliac crest.
68
capillary beds are
A group of capillaries
69
What are venuoles
the smallest veins. venuoles merge to form veins
70
most veins contain valves true or false
true
71
Why do veins have valves
to prevent blood from pooling up in the limbs.
72
Where is the most percentage of blood in systemic or pulmnary
systemic and most of it is in the veins
73
What is a simple pathway
One major artery delivers blood to the organ and then branches off to be come arterioles.
74
What is an alternative pathway
They differ from the simple pathway in the different number of arteries, capillary beds, or veins that serve an organ.
75
what do precapillary sphincters do?
the regulate the blood flow thru the capillary beds.
76
What is the volume of blood ea ventricle can hold
130 ml
77
Are there more arteries or veins
There are 5 times more veins than arteries
78
Do arteries or veins serve as reserviors
Veins serve as reservoirs
79
Explain Calpillary exchange
Very small solutes and fluids diffuse thruough endothelial cells or intercellular clefts
80
vesicular exocitosis
When the nutrient or waste moves through the cell
81
filtration
it filters due to gravity and pressure
82
Is there exchange in arterioles
no
83
Can there be exchange in venuoles
yes
84
Is capilary blood pressure high or low
low
85
Is blood pressure in veins high or low
low
86
Do you have more protein inside the capillary or in the interstitial fluid?
Inside the capillary
87
How do return the blood back to the heart from the lower part of the body.
Venus Return-veins below the heart is facilitated by skeletal muscle pump and respiratory pump
88
What is peripheral resistance
The amount of friction the blood experiences as it travels thru the blood vessels
89
What determines Peripheral resistance
Blood viscosity-how thick it is (due to high salt or protein) Vessel length-the longer the vessel, the greater the peripheral distance. Obese people have longer vessel lenth. Vessel radius-The smaller the radius the greater the peripheral resistance
90
What can effect vessel length
Obesity-the more fat and the longer the veins have to get | Taller people have vessel length
91
Are there more systemic veins or more systemic arteries
systemic veins
92
How may systemic veins, capillaries and arteries are there
55% veins 5 % capillaries 10 arteries
93
What is the general structure of the tunica intima of a blood vessel
Composed of endothelium, simple squamous epithelium.
94
what is the function of tunica intima ?
Protection and forming valves in large veins.
95
What is the structure of the tunica media
It is the middle layer and it is larger in the artery than in the vein. It is made of smooth muscle cells and elastic fibers.
96
What is the fx of tunica media
Strengthen the vessels and causes vasoconstriction and vasodialation. (need the elstic fibers for this)
97
What is the structure of tunica extern
Outermost layer, larger in the vein. | Composed of areolar CT elastic and collagan fibers
98
What is the function of the tunica externa
for protection Helps anchor the vessel to the other structures. Very lg vessels require their own blood supply
99
Does the artery or the vein have the larger lumen
vein. It has valves.
100
What are elastic arteries
They are the conducting arteries. They are the largest arteries aorta, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries, brachiocephalic, common carotid, subclavian and common illiac arteries
101
Where do elastic arteries conduct blood to?
They conduct blood from heart to muscular arteries.
102
What are muscular arteries
They are distributing arteries. | Receive blood from elastic arteries and branch into arterioles
103
What regions do muscular arteries make up
temporal, facial, brachial, radial femoral popiteal and renal are examples. They have a thicker tunica media less elastic fibers than elastic and they can vasoconstric and dialate better.
104
What are arterioles
They are the smallest arteries.
105
What is the fx of arterioles
to deliver blood to capillaries | play the most significant role in regulating systemic blood pressure and blood flow.
106
What are capillaries
They are the smallest blood vessels and they connect arterioles to venuoles.
107
What is the structure of a capillary
There is not externa media or externa and are composed of an endothelium layer that is resting on the basement membrane.
108
What exchange do capillaries make
substances btween blood and body tissue
109
what is the fx of a precapillary sphincter
to control the blood flow into the true capillary

How much of the capillary beds are open at any given time
1/4
111
What are venuoles
They are the smallest veins
112
What is the fx of venuoles?
They are to collect blood from the capillary bed. They are used to exchange substances.
