Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Arteries   Distribute blood through the body  
🗑
Tunica Externa   Outer layer of veins and arteries made of connective fibers so they do not burst under pressure  
🗑
Tunica Media   Smooth inner layer of veins and arteries  
🗑
Tunica Intima   Most inner layer of veins and arteries made of a single layer of squamous epithelia cells  
🗑
Endothelium   Squamous Epithelia cells in the tunica intima  
🗑
Precapillary spincters   Guard entrances to the capillaries and determine how much blood will flow into each capillary bed.  
🗑
Arteries and Arterioles   Distribute blood from the heart to capillaries  
🗑
Venules and veins   Collect blood from capillaries and return it to the heart  
🗑
Arteriosclerosis   Hardening of the arteries restricting the flow of blood through them.  
🗑
Ischemia   Is the result of the flow of blood slowing down too much.  
🗑
Necrosis   Tissue death  
🗑
Gangrene   Necrotic tissue that has decayed  
🗑
Atherosclerosis   Blockage of arteries by lipids and other matter (plaque)  
🗑
Cerebrovasular Accident (CVA)   Brain aneurysm or stroke  
🗑
Varicose veins   Are caused by blood pooling in the vein rather than continuing to the heart.  
🗑
Hemorrhoids (piles)   Are varicose veins of the rectum.  
🗑
Phlebitis   Vein inflammation  
🗑
Thrombophlebitis   Acute phlebitis caused by clot formation.  
🗑
Hepatic Portal Circulation   Route of blood flow through the liver.  
🗑
Spleen, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, and intestines   All blood flows into the liver from these organs and is filtered.  
🗑
Two small umbilical arteries and a single umbilical vein   Make up the umbilical cord  
🗑
Umbilical vein   Carries oxygenated blood tp the fetus  
🗑
Umbilical Artery   Carries oxygen poor blood from the fetus  
🗑
Dectus Venosus   Allows blood returning from the placenta to bypass the immature liver of the fetus and empty into the inferior vena cava  
🗑
Foramen Ovale   Shunts blood from the right atrium directly into the left atrium  
🗑
So-called hole in the heart is caused from?   The ductus arteriosus not closing properly upon the birth of the fetus.  
🗑
The Ductus Arteriousus   Connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery in a fetus.  
🗑
Blood pressure   Is the "push" of blood as it flows through the circulatory system.  
🗑
Blood Pressure Gradient   The difference between any two blood pressures.  
🗑
Blood volume,strength of heart contractions, heart rate, blood viscosity all do what?   Affect blood pressure.  
🗑
Polycythemia   is caused when red blood cells increase beyond normal. Which in turn increases blood pressure and blood viscosity.  
🗑
Peripheral resistance   Describes any force that acts against the flow of blood in a blood vessel.  
🗑
Vasomotor mechanism   Adjustment of muscle tensioin in vessel walls to control blood pressure and thus blood flow.  
🗑
Central venous pressure   Venous blood pressure within the right atrium and influences the pressure that exists in the large peripheral veins.  
🗑
When feeling someones "pulse" you are actually feeling?   An artery expanding and then recoiling  
🗑
Superficial Temporal Artery is located?   Front of the ear on the face.  
🗑
Carotid Artery is located?   In the neck.  
🗑
Axillary artery is located?   In the armpit.  
🗑
Brachial Arter is located?   At the bend of the elbow.  
🗑
Radial Artery is located?   At the wrist.  
🗑
Femoral Artery is located?   In the groin.  
🗑
Popliteal Artery is located?   Behind the knee.  
🗑
Dorsalis Pedis Artery is located   On the front surface of the foot, below the bend of the ankle joint.  
🗑
Hypertension occurs?   When Blood pressure is above 140/90.  
🗑
Circulatory shock is?   Failure of the circulatory system to adequately deliver oxygen to the tissues.  
🗑
Cardiogenic Shock is?   The heart can no longer pump blood effectively, blood flow to the tissues decreases or stops.  
🗑
Hypovolemic shock is?   loss of blood in the blood vessels.  
🗑
Anaphylactic Shock is.   Resulting from an acute allergic reaction called anaphylaxis.  
🗑
Septic shock is?   Resulting from complication of septicemia, a condiction in which infectious agents release toxins into the blood.  
🗑
