A property of the cardiovascular system is its ____ system, which is a closed system with incompressible fluid
Hydraulic system
Ex: pump, flow, pressure, volume, viscosity
A property of the cardiovascular system is its ____, which is an hierarchal system of arborescent vessels
Irrigation
Ex: arterial, venous, portal, microvessels
In the heart, the ____ is a visceral layer of the pericardium. It is a low friction surface lined by a _____ in contact with the parietal pericardial space
- Epicardium
2. Mesothelium
The ______ layer of the heart, is a functional syncytium of striated cardiac muscle fibers. Three major types of cardiac muscle:
- Atrial muscle
- Ventricular muscle
- Specialized _____ and conductive muscle fiber
- Myocardium
2. Excitatory
Heart Conduction:
____ impulse is delayed before reaching ventricles
_____ fibers conduct the impulse to all parts of ventricle
What is the order of impulses conducted by the heart?
- Atrial
- Purkinje
SA node -> AV node -> AV bundle (left and right branches) -> purkinje fibers
Vascular tunics have three layers. The innermost layer _______ (endothelium), the midlayer ______ (smooth muscle), and the outer layer ______ (connective tissue).
- Tunica intima = endothelium
- Tunic media = smooth muscle
- Túnica adventitia = connective tissue
The tunica intima of Lg elastic arteries contain: Endothelial tube made of \_\_\_\_\_ Subendothelium made of \_\_\_\_\_\_ Elastic lamina (poorly defined in LG vessels) made of \_\_\_\_\_ Elastica lamina (clearly defined in SM vessels) made of\_\_\_
- Endothelial cells
- Collagen and smooth muscle
- Fenestrated elastic and collagenous fibers and smooth muscle cells
- Scalloped layer of densely-packed elastic fibers
Large elastic arteries are also conducting arteries
The tunica media of Lg elastic arteries contain:
- Concentric ______ lamellae of elastic fibers interspersed with collagen fibers and circumferentially-arranged ____ muscle cells.
- Primarily ______ muscle with decrease in vessel size
- A layer called _______, which is a distinct boundary between media and externa in smaller vessels
- Fenestrated
- Smooth
- Elastic externa
Large elastic arteries are also conducting arteries
The tunica adventitia of Lg elastic arteries contain:
- Fibrous elements and _____ that gradually merge with surrounding connective tissue.
- ________, which are small arteries that nourish the thick vessel wall by breaking up into capillary plexus deep in the adventitia
- ________, is where ______ nerve endings terminate on vascular ____ muscle cells
- Fibroblasts
- Vasa vasorum
- Nervi vascularis; autonomic; smooth
Large elastic arteries are also conducting arteries
LG Vessels: ____ arteries are conducting arteries because they conduct blood from the heart to the medium sized distributing arteries
Elastic
Examples of Muscular or distributing arteries are?
Brachial, femoral, radial, etc
In muscular or distributing arteries:
- In the tunica intima, the ____ surface of endothelial cells conform to irregularities in the scalloped contour of a well developed elastica interna
- The tunica media is exclusively ____ muscle cells with a small reticulum of ______ and reticular fibers
- The tunica adventitia are irregular ___ fibers that may be thicker than media
- Basal
- Smooth; collagenous
- Elastic
________ is thickening of the tunica intima of blood vessels
Atherosclerosis
In small arteries and arterioles:
- the tunica intima is only _______
- the tunica media has one or two layers of ____ muscle cells circumferentially disposed and ____ ___ in small arteries
- the tunica adventitia has loose ____ tissue with longitudinal collagenous and ____ fibers with a few fibroblasts. Tunica adventitia is absent in arterioles
- Endothelium
2. Smooth; elastica externa
In the venous system, the walls are thinner, more flaccid, and less elastic than arteries. The large veins contain:
