A&P 2:Ch. 19 Vessels

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

Term
Definition
Tunica Intima/Interna (Arteries)   Endothelial lining of simple squamous; Underlying CT; Includes a layer of elastic fibers  
🗑
Tunica Intima/Interna (Veins)   Endothelial lining of simple squamous; Underlying CT  
🗑
Tunica Media   Concentric Layer of smooth muscle & CT; Thicker in Arteries  
🗑
Vasoconstriction (in Tunica Media)   Contraction of smooth muscle to decrease diameter in vessel  
🗑
Vasodilation (in Tunica Media)   Relaxation of smooth muscle from reduced stimulation; increase in vessel diameter  
🗑
Tunica Externa/Adventitia (Arteries)   Sheath of collagen & elastic fibers that connect surrounding tissue for stabilization.  
🗑
Tunica Externa/Adventitia (Veins)   Sheath of collagen & elastic fibers that connect surrounding tissue for stabilization; Include additional smooth muscle cells; Thicker than in Arteries  
🗑
Arteries   Carry blood away from heart; able to stretch and recoil with pressure change  
🗑
Arteries   Usually round with a relatively thick wall  
🗑
Veins   Usually larger & have flattened/collapsed walls  
🗑
Arterioles   poorly defined Tunica Externa & only has 1-2 layers of smooth muscle in Tunica Media.  
🗑
Arterioles & Arteries   Carry blood away from heart to capillary beds where gas & nutrients/waste is exchanged.  
🗑
Veins & Venules   Carry blood from capillary beds to heart; have valves to prevent backflow of blood to capillary beds  
🗑
Varicose Veins   Superficial veins become distended & the valve no longer prevents backflow of blood  
🗑
Venous System   Muscle contractions squeezes blood in veins toward heart  
🗑
Capillaries   Consists of a tube of endothelial cells within a basal lamina  
🗑
Fenestrated Capillaries   Allow rapid exchange of water & solutes between plasma & interstitial fluids  
🗑
Sinusoids (Capillaries)   Have gaps between adjacent cells that allow free exchange of water & solutes up to the size of plasma proteins; occur in Liver, Bone Marrow, Spleen & other Endocrine Glands  
🗑
Capillary Beds   Path of blood flow can be regulated  
🗑
Vasomotion (In Capillary Beds)   Vasoconstriction occurring rhythmically so blood "pulses" through capillary beds  
🗑
Anatsomoses (In Capillary Beds)   Reconnection of 2 streams previously branched out; provides alternative pathways for blood flow  
🗑
Pulmonary Circuit   Heart to Lungs and back  
🗑
Pulmonary Arteries   Carry Deoxygenated blood  
🗑
Systemic Circuit   Heart to Tissues and back  
🗑
Aorta   Large, elastic artery extending from left ventricle; All systemic arteries originate here  
🗑
Superior & Inferior Venae Cavae   All Systemic Circulation merge into 2 large veins: (name them)  
🗑
Superior & Inferior Venae Cavae   Return Deoxygenated blood to the right side of the heart  
🗑
Superficial and Deep Peripheral Veins   2 Sets of Peripheral Veins: (name them)  
🗑
Superficial and Deep Peripheral Veins   One of each in the venous system; pathways are important for body temperature regulation.  
🗑


   

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.
