Question
Answer
Name the 3 tunics/layers of the blood vessels   Tunica Externa, Tunica Media, Tunica Interna  
🗑
What is the location, make-up, & function of the Tunica Externa?   Outer, collagen & elastic tissue, anchors - keeps BVs in place.  
🗑
What is the location, make-up, & function of the Tunica Media?   Middle, smooth muscle, contracts - vasodilation & vasoconstriction.  
🗑
What is the location, make-up, & function of the Tunica Interna?   Inner, endothelial & elastic tissue, diffuses  
🗑
List the BVs in order of their size   Arteries, Arterioles, Capillaries, Venules, Veins  
🗑
What is the size & function of Arteries?   Large-medium-small; take blood away from heart  
🗑
What is the size & function of Arterioles?   Small-microscopic; take blood away from heart - change blood flow by vaso-CONSTRICT/DILATE  
🗑
What is the size & function of Capillaries?   Microscopic; gas exchange (O2/CO2) - nutrient/waste exchange  
🗑
What is the size & function of Venules?   Microscopic-small; return blood toward heart  
🗑
What is the size & function of Veins?   Small-medium-large; return blood toward heart (reservoirs: approx. 60% vol. contained)  
🗑
What is blood pressure?   The pressure exerted by blood on BV walls  
🗑
What factors contribute to blood pressure?   Cardiac output, blood volume, vascular resistance  
🗑
What is vascular resistance?   Opposition to blood flow  
🗑
What factors contribute to vascular resistance?   Blood viscosity, BV length, BV diameter  
🗑
What is vasoconstriction?   Contributes to resistance  
🗑
What brain structure regulates vasoconstriction?   Medulla Oblongata  
🗑
What is capillary exchange?   Movement of substances (gasses, nutrients, etc) between blood & tissue  
🗑
What basic mechanisms are included in capillary exchange?   Diffusion, vesicular transport, bulk flow  
🗑
What is venous return?   Volume of blood returning to the heart from systemic veins  
🗑
What is the primary mechanism of venous return?   Pressure difference from venules to R Atrium (15/0mmHg)  
🗑
What are two other mechanisms of venous return?   Skeletal muscle pumping(contract lower extremities), respiratory pump(diaphragm movement)  
🗑
Where is the central vascular center (CVS) located?   Medulla Oblongata  
🗑
Define fetal circulation?   Circulatory system of a fetus, exists ONLY in the fetus & contains special structures that allow the developing fetus to exchange matl's(gas, nutrients, wastes) w/ mom's blood  
🗑
What is the difference between the placenta & the umbilical cord?   Placenta: exchange thru this indirect connection w/mom, NO direct mixing of mat'l & fetal blood, all exchgs occur by diffusion thru capillary veins; Umbilical: pathway between placenta & fetus,2 arteries carry blood away, 1 vein carries blood to fetus.  
🗑
What are the 3 fetal bypasses?   Ductous venosus, formen ovale, ductous arteriosus  
🗑
Explain Ductous Venosus   Branch of umbilical vein, bypasses liver; mom's liver is doing most of that work; dumps blood into IVC, mixes O2 & deO2  
🗑
Explain Foramen Ovale   Opening between R&L Atria; allowing blood to flow from R Atrium to L Atrium; bypassing the lungs; no O2/deO2 exchange there  
🗑
Explain Ductous Arteriosus   Shunt btwn pulmonary trunk & aorta; allows blood to flow from Pulm trunk to aorta; bypassing the lungs; no O2/deO2 exchange ther  
🗑
What does the Ductous Arteriosus become after birth & where is it located?   Ligamentum Arteriousum; from the descending aorta to the pulmonary trunk  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
