Unit 1 Flashcards
(39 cards)
3 types of blood vessels
Arteries
Veins
capillaries
Main parts of cardiovascular system
Heart and blood vessels
Blood vessel wall layers
Tunic externa- outer, connective tissue
Tunic media - middle, smooth muscle
Tunic intima- inner, endothelial lining
Artery classes
Large elastic arteries- elastic fibers in tunic media, expand and recoil during cardiac cycle, ex. Aorta
Medium muscular arteries- tunic media with smooth muscle, control flow to body selectively, ex femoral
Small arteries- control filling of capillaries, creat arterial pressure in vascular system
3 vein classes
Large veins- thick tunic externa, ex. Vena cava
Small and medium- thick tunic externa, ex. Deep veins in forearm
Venules- smallest, drain capillaries
Lacteals
Intestinal lymphatic capillaries
Milky lymph fluid leaving small intestine
Chyle
Protien coated lipid droplets in lymph
Chylomicrons
How does lymph move
Mainly through action of adjacent structures, like skeletal muscle and arteries
Where does lymph drain
Drains into veins in neck
Structural arrangement of nervous system
CNS and PNS
Functional arrangement of nervous system
Somatic and visceral
CNS parts
Brain
Spinal cord
Meninges
Brain parts
Cerebral hemispheres
Cerebellum
Brain stem
Parts of cerebral hemisphere
Gray matter -outer-cell bodies
White matter -inner-axons
Ventricles-spaces filled with cerebrospinal fluid
Meneges
Surround, protect and suspend brain and spinal cord
3 layers of meninges
Dura matter Arachnoid matter (Subarachnoid space-cerebrospinal fluid) Pia matter (Brain)
Somatic
Division of CNS
Innervates structures
Receives and responds to environmental signals
Brain stem parts
Pons, medulla, midbrain, diencephalon
Ganglions
Where cell bodies are found
Enteric nervous system
Controls the GI tract, independently of the CNS Modulated by the CNS Enteric controls... Peristalsis Secretomotor Vascular tone
Dermatomes
Cells from specific somite develop into the dermis of the skin
Somites enter posterior spinal cord at specific level, and become part of specific spinal nerve
“Dermatome-area of skin supplied by a single spinal level”
Myotomes
Somatic motor nerves originally associated with a specific somite
Emerge from anterior spine
“Myotome-portion of skeletal muscle Innervated by a single spinal cord level”
Myotomes are harder to test than dermatomes, bc each skeletal muscle is usually Innervated by multiple spinal levels
Somatic
Innervates structures derived from Semites in embryo
Receives and responds to info from external environment
Functional division of nervous system
