(33 cards)
blood vessels
delivery system of dynamic structures that begins and ends at the heart
arteries
carry blood away from heart
capillaries
direct contact with tissue cells
veins
carry blood toward heart
what is the order of leaving the heart?
- artery
- arteriole
- capillary
- venule
- vein
what are the thee layers of vessels?
- tunica intima(inside)
- tunica media
- tunica adventitia(outside)
what are the three groups of arteries and what do they do?
- elastic arteries
- conducting
- pressure - muscular arteries
- disturbing - arterioles
- resistance
capillaries
-only single RBC can pass through at a time
what are the three types of capillaries?
- continuous; tight, narrow, BBB
- fenestrated; wider, kidneys and endocrine. glands
- discontinous (sinusoidal); big gaps, free flow
what two vessels are in capillary beds?
- vascular shunt
2. true capillaries
venules
pericytes
vascular anastomoses
extra pathways for vessels
systolic pressure
highest pressure of aorta
diastolic pressure
lowest pressure of aorta
pulse pressure
difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
mean arterial pressure
pressure that propels blood into tissues
what does clinical monitoring use and look for?
- wrap cuff
- sounds of korotkoff
hypertension
greater than 140/90
hypotension
less than 90/60
what are the three types of circulatory shock?
- hypovolemic shock
- vascular shock
- cariogenic shock
what are two things in blood flow to the heart?
- myoglobin
2. mitochondria/ respiratory enzymes
brain blood flow
flow must be constant 15%
lung blood flow
increased O2 or decreased CO2
blood flow
volume of blood flowing though vessels, organ or entire circulation in a given time period
