lymphatic vessels have similar structure to blood vessels
true
t-lymphocytes mature in the thymus
true
lymphatic tissues are aggregations of lymphocytes in tissues and mucous membranes of organs
true
lymph nodes are divided into cortex and medulla
true
infectious organisms, toxic chemicals and radiation are pathogenic agents capable of inducing disease
true
cellular immunity is where the t-lymphocytes attack the target directly and create a memory
true
which of the following are cytotoxic t-cells
t8,cd8, cd8+
what are the three R’s of immunity
recognize, react, remember
func/struc of tunica layers
provide struc/rigidity to blood bessels
describe major blood vessels
arteries call resistance vessels
expand during systole, recoil during diastole
describe medium sized arteries
provide blood to major organs
3/4 smooth muscle
describe small arterioles
control blood flow to major organ/tissues
have thicker t.m.
thin t.e
there are sensory structures in the arteries that regulate heart rate, vasomotion and respiration
true
capillaries is where nearly all fluids, nutrients and wastes are exchanges between tissues and blood
true
sphygmomanometer measure blood pressure
true
blood pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by the vessel wall
true
describe blood pressure measurements
systolic is the peak pressure taken after ventricular contraction
diastolic is the peak pressure taken after ventricular contraction
pulse pressure defined as net difference max ventricle contraction pressure and minimum ventricular relaxation pressure
true
pulse pressure is important measure of stress exerted on small blood vessels by the heart
true
peripheral resistance is described as the opposition to blood flow near the heart
true
blood flow increases from capillaries to venules
true
describe neural control of blood vessels
baroreflex, chemoreflex, ischemic refles signaling
vasomotion is important for rerouting blood flow depending on organ need
true
capillaries are the least important structures in the vascular system
false
