Vascular System & Glands

QuestionAnswer
Arteries carry what type of blood? Oxygenated blood
Veins carry what type of blood? Deoxygenated blood
Anastomosis a vein can rejoin a vein; an artery can rejoin an artery; or a vein and artery can join.
Plexus Veins continue to branch until there is a large network of blood vessels in a general area.
Arteriole Smaller artery that branches off an artery and connects with a capillary.
Atherosclerosis Narrowing and blockage of the arteries by a buildup of fatty plaque.
Bacteremia Bacteria traveling through the vascular system
Carotid Pulse Pusle palpated from the common carotid artery.
Embolus Foreign materials (thrombus) traveling in the blood that can block the vessel.
Hematoma Bruise.
Hemorrhage Large amounts of blood that escape into the surrounding tissue without clotting when a blood vessel is seriously injured.
Plaque Substance which consists of cholesterol, calcium, clotting proteins, and other substances that can be found lining arteries .
Thrombus Clots that form on the inner blood vessel wall.
Vasuclar System System that consists of an arterial blood supply, a capillary network, and venous drainage.
Vein Type of blood vessel that reveals to the heart, carrying blood.
Venous Sinus Blood filled space between two layers of tissue.
Venule Smaller vein that drains the capillaries of the tissue area and then joins larger veins.
What are the 10 major branches of the maxillary artery? Middle Meningeal, inferior alveolar, deep temporal, pterygoid, mastered, buccal, posterior superior alveolar, infraorbital, greater palatine, sphenopalatine.
