Question
Answer
blood "structure"   liquid connective tissue with liquid matrix between the cells consisting mostly of water with dissolved gases, sugars, amino acids, etc.  
🗑
hemopoiesis   process of the formation of blood cells and matrix  
🗑
hemopoiesis location   tissue found in the marrow cavity of spongy bone  
🗑
spongy bone structure/location   has hollow cavities separated by bone plates; found deep in bone  
🗑
types of tissue in spongy bone   red and yellow bone marrow  
🗑
red bone marrow function   actually produces blood tissue  
🗑
yellow bone marrow   adipose (fatty) tissue formed when red bone marrow degenerates  
🗑
erythrocytes   red blood cells, contain hemoglobin with bound oxygen  
🗑
two types of white blood cells   lymphocytes and neutrophils  
🗑
white blood cell structure/function   visible nucleus, larger than RBC's, immune system function  
🗑
types of arteries   elastic, muscular, arterioles, (capillaries)  
🗑
elastic artery structure   largest, diameter of 1-2cm, has mostly layers of elastic connective tissue and some smooth muscle, branch into muscular arteries  
🗑
muscular artery structure   1cm-3mm in diameter, have fewer layers of elastic connective tissue and more smooth muscle, branch to form arterioles  
🗑
arterioles structure   less than 3mm in diameter, branch to form capillaries  
🗑
capillaries structure/function   smallest blood vessel (diameter is almost as small as that of a RBC), site of gas exchange between hemoglobin (RBC) and interstitial fluid  
🗑
blood flow through capillaries   blood comes in from arterioles and leaves into the venous system  
🗑
aneurysm   weak point in an artery of wall of the heart that balloons outwards and may rupture (hemorrhage) due to the high pressure that blood is pumped under  
🗑
aorta function   blood vessel from which all arteries are derived either directly or indirectly; supplies the entire body with oxygenated blood  
🗑
aorta parts   ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending thoracic aorta, descending abdominal aorta  
🗑
branches of the ascending aorta   coronary arteries  
🗑
coronary arteries function   supply the heart with oxygenated blood (heart is the first organ to receive oxygenated blood)  
🗑
branches of the aortic arch   brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid, left subclavian  
🗑
branches of the brachiocephalic trunk   right common carotid and right subclavian  
🗑
carotid arteries location   go up the left and right sides of the neck  
🗑
subclavian arteries location   go towards the left and right shoulders; posterior to the clavicle  
🗑
aortic arch branches function   supply the head, neck, shoulders, arms, etc  
🗑
branches of the common carotid arteries   internal carotid arteries and external carotid arteries  
🗑
internal carotid arteries location   begin a little bit below the corner of the mandible and go into the skull through the carotid canal (supply the brain)  
🗑
external carotid arteries location   begin a little bit below the corner of the mandible and branch along the external surfaces of the head and face  
🗑
branches of the subclavian arteries   left and right vertebral arteries (axillary and brachial artery)  
🗑
vertebral arteries location   pass through the transverse foramen of the cervical vertebrae and into the skull through the foramen magnum (supply the brain)  
🗑
three major arteries of the upper arm and shoulder   subclavian, axillary, brachial  
🗑
branching pattern of the upper arm arteries   no real branching pattern-- names refer to a segment of what is really one blood vessel, depending on the region it passes through  
🗑
axillary artery location   within the axillary (armpit) region  
🗑
brachial artery location   within the brachium (arm)  
🗑
branches of the brachial artery   ulnar artery and radial artery (branches after the elbow)  
🗑
branches of the descending abdominal aorta (GI tract)   celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, inferior mesenteric artery, left and right renal arteries (branches at the top of the pelvic cavity and travels into each lower limb)  
🗑
descending abdominal aorta function   supplies virtually all organs of the abdominal cavity  
🗑
celiac trunk function   carries oxygenated blood to the liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas, and first part of the small intestine  
🗑
superior mesenteric artery function   sends blood to the rest of the small intestine and the first half of the large intestine  
🗑
inferior mesenteric artery function   carries blood to the last half of the large intestine  
🗑
left and right renal arteries function   carry blood to the kidneys  
🗑
branches of the descending abdominal aorta (pelvis and lower limb)   common iliac arteries (one for each limb)  
🗑
branches of the common iliac artery   external and internal iliac arteries  
🗑
branches of the external iliac artery   femoral and popliteal artery  
🗑
branches of the popliteal artery   anterior and posterior tibial arteries  
🗑
internal iliac artery location   goes down into the pelvic cavity  
🗑
branching pattern of the external iliac arteries   all one blood vessel (named for the area it passes) until it splits after the knee into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries  
🗑
