🗑
study of blood vessels   angiology  
🗑
study of veins   phlebology  
🗑
innermost layer of the blood vessels   tunica intima  
🗑
primary tissue type of the tunica intima   endothelium  
🗑
surface characteristic of the tunica intima   smooth surface  
🗑

🗑
primary tissue type of the tunica media   smooth muscle tissue  
🗑
characteristic of the tunica media   contrict/dilate  
🗑
outermost layer of the blood vessel   tunica externa (adventitia)  
🗑
primary tissue type of the tunica externa   connective tissue  
🗑
characteristic of the tunica externa   support and anchor to other structures  
🗑
order of blood vessels from the heart, then returning to the heart   arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins  
🗑
of these, which bears the most pressure: veins, arteries, lymphatic vessels   arteries  
🗑
these serve as backup routes for blood to flow if one link is blocked or otherwise compromised   anastomoses  
🗑
T/F: Veins anastomose more frequently than arteries.   true  
🗑
a term used in conjunction with anastomoses   collateral circulation  
🗑

🗑
these structures branch from the pulmonary trunk   1 right pulmonary artery, 1 left pulmonary artery  
🗑
these structures branch from the pulmonary arteries   3 right lobar arteries, 2 left lobar arteries  
🗑
these structures return oxygen-rich blood to the heart and empty into the left atrium   2 right pulmonary veins, 2 left pulmonary veins  
🗑
the vessel leaving the left ventricle   aorta  
🗑
ascends from the left ventricle, feeds the heart walls and stops there   ascending aorta  
🗑
lies posterior to the manubrium with three branches   aortic arch  
🗑
the three branches of the aortic arch, in order:   braciocephalic trunk, left common carotid, left subclavian  
🗑
the artery of the mediastinum that supplies blood to the right arm and the head and neck   braciocephalic artery  
🗑
the braciocephalic artery divides into:   the right common carotid and the right subclavian  
🗑

🗑
renal arteries   visceral branch of the abdominal aorta  
🗑
gonadal arteries   visceral branch of the abdominal aorta  
🗑
inferior mesenteric artery   *unpaired visceral branch of the abdominal aorta  
🗑
lumbar arteries   parietal branch of the abdominal aorta  
🗑
median sacral artery   parietal branch of the abdominal aorta  
🗑
