Veins start as ____ Venules
Venules start as Capillaries
Venules tunica intima have flaps called___ Valves
Valves are located in some veins in the ____extremities Lower
Venules tunica media is ____ Thinner

Sinusoids are more__ Permeable
Permeability permits__ __ and __ to pass through Large proteins, cells
Capillaries ___ material Exchange
Capillaries exchange material between the ___and ___in the tissue in both directions Blood, tissue fluid
Occurs because of the pressure in the vessel Filtration
Pressure created in the capillary that creates a concentration gradient to pull fluid to blood Colloid Osmotic pressure
COP Colloid Osmotic pressure
COP created primarily because of__ Albumin
COP can be thought of as “___” pressure that pulls H2o___the blood Pulling, into
COP occurs toward the ___side of the capillary Inner
COP helps maintain blood___ Volume
The amount of interstitial fluid formed is slightly___than the amount reabsorbed More
Excess interstitial fluid is returned via the _____ vessels Lymphatic
Pulmonary flow pathways (adult)__,__,__(2),__,__(4)__ RV, PT, PA(R&L),Lungs, PV(R&L), SVC
*Arteries are carrying deoxygenated blood and veins are carrying oxygenated blood
Systemic circulation pathways (adults)_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_ LV, Aorta, Arteries, Arterioles, Capillaries, Venules, Veins, SVC, IVC, RA
Anatomically divided in three Aorta
___aorta has two branches Ascending
___aorta has R &L coronary artery Ascending
____has 3 branches Aortic arch
3branches supply Head and upper extremities
____trunk on right Brachiocephalic
Brachiocephalic trunk branched into R. common carotid artery& R. subclavian artery
Right common carotid supplies Right side of the head
Right subclavian artery supplies Right upper extremities
Left common carotid artery supplies Left side of the head
Left subclavian artery supplies Left upper extremities
Vertebral arteries branch off of Subclavian arteries
Left subclavian changes to become ____artery Axillary
Axillary artery becomes the ____artery at the arm Brachial
Brachial artery branches and becomes the ____and ___ Radial, Ulnar

Descending divides at L4 into R&L common iliac arteries
Common iliac arteries divide into Internal and external Iliac
Internal and external iliac arteries both divide into Femoral and deep femoral arteries
Deep femoral changes its name at knee to_ Popliteal
Popliteal artery splits to Anterior and posterior tibial artery
Very important Anastmoses surrounding the pituitary Circle of Willis
Formed by R&L internal carotid artery and basilar artery Circle of Willis
Anterior, middle, posterior cerebral arteries branch off___and supply brain Circle of Willis
Often parallel an artery and are named the same names Vein
Popliteal v becomes Femoral v
Great saphenous v combines with femoral v becomes External iliac v
External and internal iliac v join to become Common iliac v
R&L common iliac vein combine and become IVC
Inferior mesenteric v join IVC
Gonadal v join IVC
Renal v join IVC
R&L gastric v join IVC
Intercostals v join IVC
(Upper extremity) Median v becomes Basilic
(Upper extremity)Basilic v combines with brachial v becomes Axillary
