Term
arteries
Definition
carry blood away from the heart; large with lots of elastic tissue; gradually become smaller the further away from the heart.
Term
arterioles
Definition
small artery that enters a tissue then branches into numerous capillaries.
Term
capillaries
Definition

are thin walled vessles that allow the exchange of substances between the blood and body tissues (in the actual tissue/organ).

Term
venules
Definition
the merging of capillaries that exit the tissue; will continue to get larger until they become a vein.
Term
veins
Definition
blood vessels that bring blood from the tissues back to the heart.
Term
3 layers of blood vessels
Definition
  1. tunica interna (intima)
  2. tunica media
  3. tunica externa
Term
tunica interna
Definition
inner lining of a blood vessel and is in contact with the blood itself. It is composed of simple squamous epithelium called the endothelium.  It also has a basement membrane that provides a collagen frame work to provide a frame work to support the epithelial layer. Also has the internal elastic laminacontains window like openings that allow diffusion of material to the tunica media
Term
tunica media
Definition
the muscle and connective tissue layer, this layer shows the greatest variation among the 5 types of vessels. Made of mostly smooth muscle and elastic fibers that regulate the diameter of the lumen of the vessel.  the external elastic lamena is the connective tissue part. It allows the vessel to stretch and recoil to its original shape.
Term
tunica externa
Definition
 consist of collagen and elastic fibers and forms the outer covering of the blood vessel. it contains nerves and tiny vessels called vasa vesorum
Term
vasoconstriction
Definition
Sympathetic autonomic neurons- stimulate contraction of smooth muscle narrowing the luman and this is called
Term
vasodialation
Definition

Relaxation of smooth muscle increases the lumen

Term
arteries
Definition
contain all 3 layers with a thick tunica media they stretch easily with the constant pressure changes of the blood.
Term
arteries
Definition
contain all 3 layers with a thick tunica media they stretch easily with the constant pressure changes of the blood.
Term
elastic arteries
Definition

the largest arteries of the body they have numerous and thick elastic layers. Ex aorta, coradid arteries, pulmonary turnk Function: to propel blood onward while the ventricle is relaxing.

Term
muscular arteries
Definition
medium sized arteries. They have more smooth muscle than elastic fibers in the tunica media. Muscle arteries have the greatest vasoconstriction and vasodialtion in order to adjust the rate of blood flow. Ex. bracial, radial, and femoral arteries. Function: contract the muscle to maintain vessel blood pressure and efficient blood flow
Term
anastomosis
Definition
most tissue receives blood from more than 1 artery. The many branches of the arteries supplying blood to the same region is called an anastomosis
Term
arterioles
Definition

abundant and microscopic and these vessels regulate the flow of blood into the capillary networks of the body. They have a think tunica interna, 1-2 layer tunica media, and a tunica externa consisting of connective tissue and unmylenated neves. Function: to regulate blood flow from the arteries to the capillaries by regulating resistance. Vasoconstirction causes increased blood pressure and vasodilation cause decreased blood pressure

Term
capillaries
Definition
smallest of our blood vessels and connect arterial blood and venus blood they are so small red blood cells pass single file through a capillary. They form a network of branches that run to individual cells of the body and are found near ever almost cell of the body. Function: To exchange substances between the blood and interstial fluid of the cells. The only thing that’s left are a single layer the separates blood and body cells. Stuructually they lack and tunica media and tunica externa
Term
microcirculation
Definition
 is the flow of blood to an arteriole to a capillary to a venule.
Term
how blood goes from a capillary to a venule
Definition
  blood flows from an arterial into a capillary then to a venule. Due to pre capillary sphincters blood flow to capillaries ceases or continues flow through the capillary network. Typically over 25% of your blood is in the capillaries. The number 2 way it flows from a capillary to a venule is through a  thoroughfare channel: the distal end of the artieral resembles a capillary and provides a direct route for blood to flow directly from arterial to the venule bypassing the capillary network.
Term
continuous capillaries
Definition
forms a continues tube to the venule found in brain lung skeletal muscle and smooth muscle.
Term
fenestrated capillaries
Definition
have small pores in the walls of the endothelium in areas where you will find this is the kidneys, small intestine and endocrine glands
Term
sinusoids
Definition
have wider and larger holes in the walls and an incomplete basement membrane. These capillarys allow large proteins and blood cells to pass through the blood stream. Found in the live spleen anterior pituitary and  parathyroid gland.
Term
venules
Definition
Term
veins
Definition
very thin walled compared to arteries, they have a think tunica interna and media and the tunica externa is the thickest of the vessels. Veins also  lack a internal and external elastic lamina. The pumping of the heart and contraction of lower limb skeletal muscles. Allows for return of venus blood to the heart. Pressure in the vein is much lower than in an artery. Veins have small valves in their walls to prevent back flow of blood.
Term
difference between veins and arteries
Definition

·      There are many more veins than arterys

Term
capillary exchange
Definition
movement of substances between the blood and interstitial fluid.
Term
3 ways blood laeaves the capillary
Definition
  1. simple diffusion
  2. transcytosis
  3. bulk flow
Term
simple diffusion
Definition
oxygen carbon dioxide glucose amino acids hormones enter and leave capillaries by simple diffusion substances enter and leave the capillary. Plasma proteins and red blood cells can only pass through sinusoids
Term
transcytosis
Definition

1.   vesicles perform endocytosis and exocytosis to transport large lipid insoluble molecules

Term
bulk flow
Definition
passive process where large number of ions, molecules, or particles move together in the same direction. This process moves from a high concentration to a low. Important for regulation of blood volume and interstitial fluid.
Term

Definition
of pressure movement of fluids and solutes from blood to the interstitial fluid
Term
resporption
Definition
pressure movement of fluid from the interstitial fluid to the blood
Term
blood distribution

64% of blood is in veins and venules

7% capillaries

13% arteries and arterioles

7% in heart

9% pulmonary vessels

Term
hemodynamics
Definition
factors affecting blood flow
Term
blood flow
Definition

flows from regions of high pressure to low pressure, the greater the difference the greater the flow. Higher the pressure the faster the flow is. the volume of blood that flows through the tissue at any given time.

Term
cardiac output
Definition
total blood flow
Term
blood pressure
Definition
generated by contraction of the ventricles. The hydrostatic pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of a vessel is called blood pressure. Blood pressure is determined by cardiac output, blood volume, and vascular resistance. At rest you body rises to 110 during systole and drops to 70 during disotle.
Term
systolic blood pressure
Definition
rise to 110. Highest pressure in the vessel during systole
Term
diastolic blood pressure
Definition

drops to 70. Lowest pressure in the vessel during diastole.

Term

* in venular blood the pressure drops to about 16 ml of mercury.  Blood pressure in the right atrium is zero

Definition
Term
vascular resistance
Definition
the opposition of blood flow due to friction between the blood and vessel.
Term
3 factors the effect vascular resistance
Definition
  1. size of lumen
  2. blood viscosity
  3. total blood vessel length
Term
size of lumen
Definition
the smaller the lumen the greater the resistance of blood flow. Vasoconstriction increases resistance to blood flow
Term
blood viscosity
Definition
thickness of the blood due to the ratio of rbc to plasma. The higher the viscosity the higher the resistance. Anemia typically decreases blood pressure. Polycythmia will increase blood pressure
Term
total blood vessel lenght
Definition
the longer the blood vessel the greater the resistance. Obese people will have an increased blood pressure due to an increased number of blood vessels to adipose tissue
Term
venous return
Definition
volume of blood that flows back to the heart through systemic viens. Venous return pressure averages 16 mm of mercury. If pressure in the right atrium would increase, venous return would increase. At rest valves in your veins are open. When muscles contract the lower valve closes and pushed the blood up to the heart. Respitory pump- on inhilation the diapram moves downward, compressing abdominal veins, pushing blood from the abdoman to the heart. On exhilation valves in the veins prevent back flow keeping the blood moving towards the heart.
Term
velocity of blood flow
Definition
is inversely related to the cross sectional area. Meaning velocity is slowest where total cross section is greatest. Branching of vessels causes an increased cross sectional area. Blood flow becomes slower as it moves away from the heart. As venules converge to forms veins velocity increases due to the decreased cross sectional area. Arteries typically average 40 cm per second. Veins 0.1 cm per second.
Term
circulation time
Definition
one drop of blood takes one minute to go from the right atrium down to the foot and back.
Term
cardiovascular center (CV)
Definition
several negative feedback systems control blood pressure. CV is in medulla and its job is to regulate heart rate and stroke volume. It also controls the neural, hormonal, and local feedback systems that regulate pressure and flow. It receives input from higher brain regions(cortex) and sensory receptors.
