Question
Answer
What are venules?   The smalls veins that are companion vessels with arterioles  
🗑
What do venules form?   Merge to form veins  
🗑
What does the largest venule have?   All 3 tunics  
🗑
What are the smallest venules?   Postcapillary venules  
🗑
What do systemic veins act as?   Blood reservoirs  
🗑
What percentage of blood is in systemic circulation?   70%  
🗑
What are the 2 categories of systemic circulation?   Systemic veins, systemic arteries, and systemic capillaries  
🗑
What percentage of blood is in systemic veins?   55%  
🗑
What percentage of blood is in systemic arteries?   10%  
🗑
What percentage of blood is in systemic capillaries?   5%  
🗑
What percentage of blood is in pulmonary circulation?   18%  
🗑
What percentage of blood is in the heart?   12%  
🗑
How can blood be moved from veins into circulation?   Vasoconstriction of veins. Ex : When more blood needed during exertion  
🗑
How can blood be shifted back into reservoirs?   Vasodilation of veins. Ex: When less blood needed during rest  
🗑
What is a simple pathway of blood vessels?   One major artery delivers blood to organ or region  
🗑
What is an end artery?   One that provides only one path for bloods to reach an organ or region?  
🗑
What do end arteries branch into?   Smaller arteries that become arterioles  
🗑
What do each arteriole feed into?   A capillary bed  
🗑
What drains the capillary bed?   Venule  
🗑
How is a major vein formed?   Venules merge  
🗑
What is another name for arterial anastomosis?   Arterial joining  
🗑
What is arterial anastomosis?   Two or more arteries converge to supply the same region. E.G., superior and inferior epigastric arteries supplying abdominal wall  
🗑
What does arteriovenous anastomosis (shunt) do?   Transports blood from artery directly to vein. E.G., in fingers, toes, palms, ears.  
🗑
If the body is hypothermic, what does arteriovenous anastomosis (shunt) do?   Allow areas to be bypassed  
🗑
Among the alternative pathways of blood vessels, which one is more common?   Venous anastomosis  
🗑
What is venous anastomosis?   Two or more veins drain same body region. E.G., basilic, brachial, and cephalic veins draining the upper limb  
🗑
What is a portal system?   Two capillary beds in sequence  
🗑
What is the pathway of the portal system?   artery to capillary bed to portal vein to capillary bed to vein; E.g., hypothalamo-hypohyseal portal system  
🗑
