Question
Answer
5 blood vessel types in human body   arteries, arterolies,capillaries,venules, veins  
🗑
blood vessle type that carries blood back to heart   vein  
🗑
blood ves. type that carries blood to cap.   arterioles  
🗑
bl. ves. type carries blood away from heart   arteries  
🗑
blood ves. where gases are exchanged with bodys tissues   capillaries  
🗑
blood ves. type that capillaries empty into   venules  
🗑
blood in arterties   02  
🗑
blood arterioles   02  
🗑
blood in venules   CO2  
🗑
blood in veins   CO2  
🗑
capillaries blood   CO2 and 02  
🗑
largest blo. ves in diameter   vein  
🗑
largest artery   aorta artery  
🗑
two tissue types found in walls of artery   smooth muscle and elstic tissue  
🗑
describe blood pressure in arteries vs. veins   arteris have low blood pressure  
🗑
walls of capillaries   sinusoids(leaky)  
🗑
what function of precapillary sphincters? where are they located   junction b/t capillaries and arterioles; control blood flow to capillaries  
🗑
what type of enviroment within the tissue will cause precap. to open/ close   low oxygen and nutrients to open; high amts to close  
🗑
venuous valves located   arms and legs  
🗑
function of venuous valves   prevent blood from falling backwards  
🗑
why are venuous valves needed?   bc there are low b.p in veins and also gravitational pull of arms and legs  
🗑
blood vol. of veins   60-70  
🗑
cap. blood vol   5  
🗑
systemic arteries blood vol.   10-12  
🗑
blood pressure means   force against inner walls of Blood vessles  
🗑
blood pressure avg. adult   120/80  
🗑
distolic   min presure  
🗑
systolic   max pressure  
🗑
why dont we take b.p from our veins   low pressure  
🗑
what artery is used to for blood pressure   brachial  
🗑
4 pressure points take pules   temporal, brachial, facial, radial  
🗑
stroke volume   amt of blood pumped per heart beat  
🗑
blood viscosity   blood thickness  
🗑
peripheral resistance   blood ves. are stretched  
🗑
blood vol.   amt of blood in body  
🗑
heart rate   beats per min  
🗑
baroreceptors located   arteries  
🗑
function of baroreceptors   dectect b.p changes in arteries  
🗑
3 pumps produce circulation in body   1. heart2. respitory3.skeletal  
🗑
res. pump function   abdominals contract which sends blood back up  
🗑
skeletal muscle pump function   contraction of skeletal muclse squeeze blood back to heart  
🗑
4 life span changes within cardiovascular system   1. heart enlargement2.death of cardiac muscle3. increase in adipose tissue of heart4. incrase in B.P  
🗑
why is the loss of cardiac cells thought of as irreversable   cells dont regenerate  
🗑
why does our heart enlarge as we get to old age   chordae tendone stretches and are loosen  
🗑
why does our heart rate decrease with old age   due to weight loss  
🗑
four chambers and valves found in the heart   R-al-ar-vl-vl-a-v , r-a-v, pul, and aortia  
🗑
