| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| largest artery in the body. it carries Oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body. it includes the "ascending ______, the ________ arch, the thoracic _________, and the abdominal __________. | aorta |
| smallest branch of an artery | arteriole |
| blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body. this bright red blood has a high level of oxygen. (exception is the pulmonary arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs. they carry dark-purple blood w/ low O2 | artery |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the axilla (armpit) area | axillary artery |
| channels through which the blood circulates throughout the body. these include arteries, arterioles, capillares, venules, and veins, these are known as :vascular structures". the lumen is the central opening inside a blood vessel through the blood flows | blood vessels |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the upper arm | brachial artery |
| smallest blood vessel in the body. this network connects the arterioles to the venules. the exchange of oxygen and CO2 takes place in here | capillary |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the neck, face, head, and brain. if these arteries are compressed, the lack of blood to the brain will cause a person to become unconscious | carotid artery |
| layer of cells that line the wall of a blood vessel, known as the "intima" | endothelium |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the upper leg | femoral artery |
| collective phrase for the aorta (the largest artery), the superior and inferior venae cavae (the largest veins), the pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries, and pulmonary veins | great vessels |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the hip and groin area | iliac artery |
| vein that carries blood from the head to the superior vena cava | jugular vein |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the little toe side of the lower leg (along the fibula bone) | peroneal artery |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the back of the knee and then branches into the tibial and peroneal arteries | popliteal artery |
| vein that carries blood from the intestines to the liver | portal vein |
| artery that carries blood away from the heart to the lungs. the ________ ________ is the only artery that carries blood that has a low level of oxygen | pulmonary artery |
| vein that carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart . the ________ ________ is the only vein that carries blood with a high level of oxygen | pulmonary vein |
| the bulging of an artery wall from blood pumped by the heart | pulse |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the thumb side of the lower arm (along the radius bone) | radial artery |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the kidney | renal artery |
| vein that carries blood from the leg to the groin | saphenous vein |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the shoulder. it goes underneath (sub-) the clavicle (collar bone) | subclavian artery |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the front and back of the lower leg | tibial artery |
| artery that carries oxygenated blood to the litlle finger side of the lower arm (along the ulna bone) | ulnar artery |
| network of blood vessels in a particular organ | vasculature |
| constriction of smooth muscle in the wall of a blood vessel that causes it to become smaller in diameter | vasoconstriction |
| relaxation of smooth muscle in the wall of a blood vessel that causes it to become larger in diameter | vasodilation |
| blood vessel that carries blood from the body back to the heart. this blood has a low level of O2 and high level of CO2 and waste products of cellular metabolism from cells.exception is pulmonary veins that carry blood w/ high level O2 from lungs to heart | vein |
| largest vein in the body. the superior _____ _____ carries blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest back to the right atrium of the heart. the inferior ______ ______ carries blood from the abdomen, pelvis and legs back to the right atrium | venae cavae |
