🗑
Subdivisions of systemic circualtion   Coronary, cerebral, hepatic portal  
🗑
Pulmonary circulation   Deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to lungs

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  
🗑
