Question
Answer
Arteries, veins, capillaries, arterioles and venules   5 types of blood vessels  
🗑
Carry blood away from the heart and to the tissues   Arteries  
🗑
Carry blood from the tissues and back to the heart   Veins  
🗑
Small subdivisions of the arteries   Arterioles  
🗑
Small vessels that receive blood from the capillaries and begin transport back to the heart   Venules  
🗑
Tiny thin-walled vessels that allow for exchanges between systems (connect the arterioles and venules)   Capillaries  
🗑
This circuit delivers blood to the lungs, getting grid of some CO2 and replenishing O2   Pulmonary circuit  
🗑
Carry fresh oxygenated blood back to the right atrium   Pulmonary Vein  
🗑
Supplies nutrients and oxygen to all tissues and carries waste materials away from the tissues.   Systemic circuit  
🗑
Receives fresh oxygenated blood from the left ventricle and branches into the systemic arteries carry blood to the tissues   Aorta  
🗑
Venous blood flows into this atrium through the superior and inferior vena cava   Right atrium  
🗑
Inner tunic, middle tunic outer tunic   3 layers of the arteries  
🗑
Membrane of simple squamous epithelial cells making up the endothelium, forms a smooth surface over which the flood flows easily.   Inner tunic  
🗑
Thickest layer of the tunics and is made of smooth involuntary muscle under the control of the autonomic nervous system   Middle tunic  
🗑
Tunic made of supporting connective tissue   Outer tunic  
🗑
This type of tissue allows the layers of the artery walls to stretch when receiving blood and then return to it's original size.   Elastic tissue  
🗑
Bracheocephalic, left common carotid and left subclavian arteries   3 branches of the aortic arch  
🗑
Divisions of the aorta   ascending aorta, aortic arch, thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta  
🗑
A single layer of squamous epithelium makes up the wall of a ___________   Capillary  
🗑
Communication between two vessels   Anastomosis  
🗑
What veins are near the surface   Superficial  
🗑
A large channel that drains blood low in oxygen   Venous sinus  
🗑
What portal system takes blood from the abdominal organs to the liver   Hepatic portal system  
🗑
What type of pressure helps to draw materials into a capillary   Osmotic Pressure  
🗑
Vasomotor activities are regulated in the ______________ of the brain   Medulla  
🗑
Fact: Blood vessel diameter as regulated by vasomotor activity is the most important factor in determination of peripheral resistance   Fact card  
🗑
Fact: Veins have valves that control blood flow   Fact card  
🗑
Fact: An artery has a thicker wall than a vein   Fact card  
🗑
Fact: There is one brachiocephalic artery and 2 brachiocephalic veins.   Fact card  
🗑
Fact: Pulse pressure drops to 0 in the arterioles   Fact card  
🗑
Fact: Heart rate increases when blood pressure falls due to increased cardiac output and vasoconstriction   Fact card  
🗑
Fact: The artery is the heaviest type of blood vessel with a thick tunica media com-posed of muscle and connective tissue   Fact card  
🗑
Fact: Veins have the same 3 main layers, but the tunica media is thinner than in the arteries   Fact Card  
🗑
With only a few exceptions, veins lead toward the heart   Fact Card  
🗑
Capillaries have tiny slits called fenestrae, and movement through these slits is called   diapedesis  
🗑
In _______________ capillaries there are larger spaces to allow larger particles to pass through.   sinusoidal  
🗑
Artery that supplies the right arm (right subclavian) and head (right common carotid   Brachiocephalic artery  
🗑
Thoracic aorta – serves the chest and its organs. Also forms celiac trunk to the left gastric artery, splenic artery and hepatic artery. Abdominal aorta begins with the diaphragm and goes down through all of the abdominopelvic structures.   Fact card  
🗑
This part of the aorta, begins with the diaphragm and goes down through all of the abdominopelvic structures.   Abdominal aorta  
🗑
Loops of artery fed by two or more arteries to insure blood will reach critical structures   Anastomoses  
🗑
Fact: Anastomoses -Cerebral arterial circle (Circle of Willis) in the head (to brain) Superficial palmar arch of the hand Mesenteric arches around intestines Arcuate arteries and other arterial arches in the foot.   Fact Card  
🗑
The pressure wave of blood moving through the systemic arteries   The pulse  
🗑
Fact: Medical personnel know to measure the pulse with the fingertips, NEVER with the thumb!   Fact Card  
🗑
The maximum pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts.   Systolic pressure  
🗑
The lowest pressure as measured after the heart relaxes.   Diastolic pressure  
🗑
Vasoconstriction causes increased _______________, which when added to increased cardiac output, increases blood pressure.   Increased Resistance  
🗑
Increased heart rate and contraction strength lead to _________ _______________.   Cardiac Output  
🗑
The measure of the force exerted by the blood against the vessel walls.   Blood pressure  
🗑


   

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.
