Question
Answer
What are the 3 layers of blood vessel walls?   Tunica Intima; Tunica Media, Tunic Externa  
🗑
Tunica Intima   inner layer  
🗑
Tunica Media   smooth muscle layer (responsible for vasoconstriction and vasodilation)  
🗑
Tunica Externa   outer layer  
🗑
Basic features of arteries   carry oxygenated blood away from heart (except PA); thicker smooth muscle layer than veins; more elastic than veins; smaller lumen than veins  
🗑
Basic features of arterioles   Deliver blood to capillaries; greater influence n BP than arteries;  
🗑
Basic Features of capillaries   Microscopic, Exchange of gases, nutrients + wastes  
🗑
What are the different types of capillaries   Continuous; Fenestrated; Discontinuous  
🗑
Continuous capillaries    
🗑
Fenestrated capillaries    
🗑
Discontinuous capillaries    
🗑
Basic Features of venules    
🗑
Basic features of veins   Carry deoxygenated blood from body to heart (Except PVs)  
🗑
Basic features of venules   formed by several capillaries  
🗑
What is a portal vein?   vein that carries blood from one venous system to another venous system  
🗑
Which blood vessels have the most influence on BP?   Arterioles  
🗑
What is capillary filtration   the movement of water and solutes into interstitial fluid at the arterioler end of capillary  
🗑
What is hydrostatic pressure?   BP inside capillary, caused by LV contraction  
🗑
What is blood colloid osmotic pressure?   pressure of fluid due to its concentration of solutes/ proteins  
🗑
How does filtration occur?   when hydrostatic pressure is higher than osmotic pressure, water moves into the blood  
🗑
What is capillary reabsorption?   water moves back into the venule end of the capillary  
🗑
How does capillary reabsorption occur?   because osmotic pressure is higher than hydrostatic pressure (BP is lower than osmotic pressure) (osmosis and diffusion)  
🗑
What is edema?   excess fluid in the interstitial fluid  
🗑
How does edema occur?   from too much capillary filtration and not enough reabsorption (fluid stays in tissue spaces)  
🗑
What are the factors influencing venous return?   left ventricular systole (BP); skeletal muscle pump (muscle compression of veins); respiratory pump  
🗑
What is blood pressure?   Pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of the blood vessels  
🗑
How is blood pressure created?   left ventricular systole  
🗑
What happens to BP as blood move through the circulatory system?   decreases: aorta 100-120mmHg; Arterioles 60-70; capillaries 35-15mmHg; venules 15mmHg; veins 5-6mmHg; vena cava 0  
🗑
Pulse Pressure   Difference between systolic and diastolic BP 130/60 =70  
🗑
MABP (mean arterial blood pressure)   pressure that's averaged over an entire cardiac cycle- represents the pressure that pushes blood through the entire system  
🗑
What are factors that affect BP?   resistance; viscosity; turbulence  
🗑
Why does capillary filtration happen?   because capillary hydrostatic pressure (BP) is higher than the blood colloid osmotic pressure  
🗑
capillary hydrostatic pressure is   Blood pressure  
🗑
Which plasma protein are we concerned about?   albumin  
🗑
What happens on inhalation   diaphragm moves down, abdominal veins compressed; blood gets pushed up towards RA  
🗑
What happens on exhalation   diaphragm moves up; compression on abdominal veins decreases; blood gets pulled up from legs; veins help to prevent backflow  
🗑
Normal MABP   70-110mmHg  
🗑
What is the number that indicates inadequate perfusion?   60 or less mmHg  
🗑
resistance   the more length there is the more resistance; the smaller the diameter the more resistance you have  
🗑
viscosity   increased viscosity = increased resistance  
🗑
turbulence is:   a disruption in flow; increases resistance  
🗑


   

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.
