Artery |
| Blood vessel with thickest walls |
Arteries |
| Inner lining of blood vessel |
endothelium |
| Artery used to take a blood pressure |
Brachial |
| blood vessels with greatest resistance to regulate blood flow |
Arterioles |
| Hypoxia |
decrease in O2 to tissues |
| Ischemia |
reduced blood supply |
| Active Hyperemia |
Exercise |
| Reactive Hyperemia |
cut off of blood supply |
| raises blood pressure & holds water |
Vassopressin |
| raises blood pressure |
Epinephrine |
| Angiotensin |
raises blood pressure and stimulates the release of aldosterone |
| thin walled vessels where exchange of O2 and nutrients occurs |
Capillaries |
| tow parts of C.V. that have valves |
Heart and veins |
| where most of the blood is during rest |
Veins |
| respiratory pump |
during inspiration a pressure gradient is set up that pushes blood into heart |
