3. What arteries function as a pressure reservoir? | large elastic(conducting) arteries |
And as distributing arteries? | medium-sized muscular (distributing) arteries |
Vasoconstriction | occurs when vascular smooth muscle tissue contracts to decrease the diameter of the lumen. |
Vasodilation | occurs when vascular smooth muscle tissue relaxes to increase the diameter of the lumen. |
4. What are the functions of arterioles? | Through vasoconstriction and vasodilation arterioles play major roles in: i. regulating blood flow from arteries to capillaries ii. regulating blood pressure |
What vessels are known as resistance vessels? | Arterioles are known as resistance vessels. |
____is a very small branch of an artery that delivers blood to a capillary | An arteriole |
The terminal end of an arteriole is a region called the ______; at its junction with a capillary is a ______. | metarteriole, precapillary sphincter |
5. What vessels permit exchange between the blood and the surrounding interstitial fluids? | capillaries |

7. Name 3 types of capillaries. | continuous capillaries, fenestrated capillaries, sinusoids=tortuous capillaries |
continuous capillaries | most common type ex. in skin, muscle have endothelial cells |
continuous capillaries | Many capillaries are continuous capillaries in which the plasma membranes of the endothelial cells form a continuous tube that is interrupted only by intercellular clefts. |
fenestrated capillaries | pore=holes. ex in glomerulus, kidney |
fenestrated capillaries | Other capillaries are fenestrated capillaries in which there are fenestrations (pores) between the neighboring plasma membranes. |
sinusoids=tortuous capillaries | In some organs, there are sinusoids which are wider, more tortuous capillaries whose walls contain large pores and intercellular clefts; sinusoids may contain specialized lining cells (e.g., phagocytic cells in liver sinusoids). |
8. Compare and contrast between arteries and veins. | |
arteries | 1. Vasoconstriction occurs when vascular smooth muscle tissue contracts to decrease the diameter of the lumen. 2. Vasodilation occurs when vascular smooth muscle tissue relaxes to increase the diameter of the lumen. |
arteries | arteries3. There are two major sets of arteries: |
arteries | large elastic (conducting) arteries whose elastic fibers, organized to form the elastic lamellae, recoil during relaxation of the heart to force blood to flow onward; these blood vessels act as pressure reservoirs |
arteries | ii. medium-sized muscular (distributing) arteries whose smooth muscle tissue is capable of greater vasoconstriction and vasodilation to regulate the rate of blood flow to target tissues; vascular tone stiffens the vessel wall |
arteries | thicker wall tunica media is big sustain high blood pressure has external/internal lamina don't have valves |
veins | thinner wall tunica interna and tunica media are small tunica externa is big lot more blood flow don't have external/internal lamina has valves: for high pressure to low pressure |
have relatively thin walls because the tunica interna and tunica media are thin layers? | veins |
Many veins, especially those in the limbs, have valves which | are composed of two or more thin folds of tunica interna that form flap-like cusps which project into the lumen. |
function to prevent backflow of blood and aid in moving blood toward the heart | vein valves |
vascular (venous) sinus | is a vein with a thin endothelial wall that has no smooth muscle to alter its diameter (e.g., coronary sinus). |
Superficial veins | travel through the hypodermis |
deep veins | travel below the fascia between skeletal muscles. |
anastomosis | is The union of branches of two or more arteries supplying the same body region |
anastomoses provide alternative routes | i.e., collateral circulation, for blood to reach a target tissue or organ (anastomoses may also occur between veins and between arterioles and venules). |
end arteries | are Arteries that do not anastomose. occlusion of an end artery interrupts the blood supply to the target tissue and may result in necrosis of that tissue |
10. The largest portion of blood is located in which type of vessels at rest? | systemic veins & venules |
The Fetal Circulation | The lungs and GI organs do not begin to function until birth. The exchange of materials between fetal and maternal circulation occurs through the placenta. |
In fetal circulation, how does the most of the blood by-passes the lung, and joints the systemic circulation? (foramen ovale, ductus anteriosus) | |
Scheme of fetal circulation. p.541 | - Blood passes from the fetus to the placenta via two umbilical arteries (deoxygenated blood) |
2. Scheme of fetal circulation | - The oxygenated blood returns from the placenta via a single umbilical vein |
3. Scheme of fetal circulation | - Some blood enter liver; some into ductus venosus -> inferior vena cava -> right atrium |
4. Scheme of fetal circulation | - From the right atrium, most of the blood via foramen ovale to left atrium (bypass the lung), little goes to pulmonary trunk |
5. Scheme of fetal circulation | - From the pulmonary trunk, most blood via ductus arteriosus to aorta (bypass the lung), little of the blood -> lungs -> -> left atrium -> aorta -> systems. |
