Question | Answer |
Functions of blood vessels | transport oxygen, nutrients, wastes, and hormones |
lumen | opening |
tunic | layers of blood vessel walls |
Tunica intima | simple squamous epithelium. Innermost layer |
Tunica media | middle layer. Smooth muscle. Changes vessel diameter. ANS regulates |
Tunica Externa | outermost layer. CT (collagens) |
vaso vasorum | in larger vessels (thick). "vessel of vessels". Supply vessel walls. |
arteries | 3 tunics, thick tunica media. elastic fibers in walls |
arterioles | 3 tunics, tunica media regulates blood flow to capillaries** |
capillaries | endothelium only. Thin, permeable |
venules | 3 tunics, thin, low pressure |
veins | 3 tunics, fewer smooth muscles then arteries. Larger lumen, Contains valves to prevent blood from trickling down by gravity |
Why is the capillary level favorable for exchange? | thin walled and permeable |
effect of the ANS sympathetic stimulation | constrict blood vessels of abdominal viscera. Dialate blood vessels of heart and skeletal muscle using smooth muscle in tunica media |
hepatic portal circulation | blood from organs fuse into portal vein |
Where does blood enter the liver? | hepatic artery and portal vein |
Function of the liver in relation to blood | screen blood for toxins. Can store glucose |
