Question
Answer
Arteries   carry blood away from the heart, oxygenated blood, blood from arteries go into arterioles  
🗑
Arterioles   smallest arteries; blood from arteries goes into them  
🗑
Capillaries   smalles of vessels; exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide  
🗑
Veins   carry blood to the heart; deoxygenated blod  
🗑
Vennules   smallest veins  
🗑
Capillaries   smallest of vessels; exchange blood from blood and body cells and exhange blood and air in the lung tissue; this capillary exchange is going to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide  
🗑
Exception   respiratory system- pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood; pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood  
🗑
Pulmonary Circuit   eliminates CO2 and replenishes O2  
🗑
Pulmonary Vessels   carry blood to and from the lungs  
🗑
Systemic Circuit   supplies nutrients and oxygen to all the body tissue and carries wastes  
🗑
Vasodilation   vessel increases in diameter; blood flow increases  
🗑
Vasoconstriction   vessel decreases in diameter; blood flow decreases, blood pressure increases  
🗑
Aneurysm   a sac or a bulged-out section of an artery or vein due to localized weakness; can rupture anytime; will rupture for sure after so big; most times found by accident  
🗑
Bleeding from a Large Artery   blood flows in spurts  
🗑
Anastomosis   communication between two vessels  
🗑
Anastomosis   Circle of Willis, Volar Arch  
🗑
Circle of Willis   example of an anastomosis of an artery  
🗑
Osmotic Pressure   maintained in the capillaries by proteins  
🗑
Diffusion   the process involved in capillary exchange; vennules or arterioles to the capillary  
🗑
Venous Return   in veins of the legs is increased by contractions of the skeletal muscles; veins have valves and that's what helps with this  
🗑
Venous Sinuses   Coronary Sinus  
🗑
Venous Sinuses   spaces filled with blood; channels which lack normal vein structure that pull or collect deoxygenated blood in various parts of the body; found in different places  
🗑
Vessels   (arteries and veins) contain three layers  
🗑
Tunica interna   the innermost layer of the blood vessel; AKA endothelium  
🗑
Tunica media   the middle and thickest layer; smooth muscle  
🗑
Tunica externa   AKA tunica and ventitia; external outer layer; connective tissue  
🗑
Aorta   largest in the body  
🗑
Coronary Arteries   branches of the ascending aorta that supply the heart muscle with oxygen-rich blood  
🗑
Coronary Sinus   (vein) receive blood from the veins of the heart wall  
🗑
Common Carotid Arteries   carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the neck and head and brain  
🗑
Subclavians   main arteries of the arms; begin at the area of the collarbone  
🗑
Brachial Artery   used to determine blood pressure  
🗑
Radial Artery   thumb side of the lower arm; used to find pulse  
🗑
Renal Artery   one for each kidney; supply the kidney with blood  
🗑
Internal Iliac Artery   supplies structures and organs in the pelvic cavity with blood  
🗑
Superior Mesenteric Artery   supplies the small intestines and some of the large intestines with blood  
🗑
Femoral Artery   the large artery of the upper leg (thigh)  
🗑
Two Largest Veins   inferior vena cava, superior vena cava  
🗑
Inferior Vena Cava   drains blood from the lower part of the body into the right atrium  
🗑
Superior Vena Cava   drains blood from the upper part of the body into the right atrium  
🗑
Median Cubital   to draw blood (phlebotomy); antecubital space  
🗑
Brachiocephalic   right and left; forms from the subclavian and jugular veins (where they meet)  
🗑
Jugular   runs in correspondence with the carotid arteries; drains blood from the head and the neck  
🗑
Hepatic   drains blood from the liver  
🗑
Saphenous (great saphenous)   in the leg; largest and longest vein in the body; carries deoxygenated blood from the foot to the thigh  
🗑
Sinusoids   an enlarged capillary channel that allows liver cells to have close contact with the blood; help the liver filter blood  
🗑
Kidneys   don't have veins that drain into the portal system in order to help the liver; work on their own to detoxify the blood. Not part of the liver system.  
🗑
Liver   works as its own little filtering system, so the blood is not as toxic as it was before it went into the ______; does the majority of the work  
🗑
