Blood vessels

QuestionAnswer
Functions of blood vessels Carry blood, regulate blood flow, regulate body temperature
Types of vessels arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins
Systemic circulation oxygenated blood from left ventricale, arteries, caplillaries, to tissues
Subdivisions of systemic circualtion Coronary, cerebral, hepatic portal
Pulmonary circulation Deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to lungs
Portal means Blood travels through 2 sets of caps before reaching heart
3 layers of arteries t. externa, t. media, t. interna
Elastic artery Largest; t. media-elastic fibers>smooth muscle
Muscular artery T. media-smoot muscle>elastic fibers; regulate blood flow
Arterioles Deliver blood to caplillaries
How does arterioles help in temperature regulation? By vasocontricting (saves heat) or vasodialation (releases heat) of the arterioles near the skin
Capillaries Only have endothelium and basement membrane - three types
Three types of capillaries continuous, fenestrated, sinusoids
Continuous capillaries Only gaps are between neighboring cells, and are the most common
Fenestrated capillaries Plasma membrane has holes. In kidneys, sm. intestine, and some glands.
Sinusoids Very large openings, incomplete basement membrane so proteins and cells can pass through. Found in liver and spleen.
Veins T. interna, and t. media very thin and t. externa very thick - not stretchy
Venules Recieves blood from capillaries and drains the blood into veins. No t. externa and very thin walls
Where is most of the blood in the body at any given time? In the veins and venules
