Term
What is does the vessels and circulation do in the body?
Definition

- Closed siculatory system

- Blood flows is important for oxygen, nutrients, and removal of wastes.

Term
What is Tunica intima? 
Definition

- It is a blood vessel

- Innermost layer

- Endothelial lining and an underlying layer of connective tissue.

- Contains variable amounts of elastic fibers.

Term
What is Tunica media?
Definition

- It is a blood vessel

- Middle layer

- Concentric layers of smooth muscle in a framework of connective tissue.

- Can be stimulated by the sympathic  nervous system.

- Collegen fibers bind the media to the intima and adventitia.

- Thin band of elastic fibers located between the media and adventitia.

Term

Definition

- The outer layer.

- Connective tissue sheath around the vessel.

--Collagen fibers and some elastic fibers.

- Fibers of the adventitia blend into those of adjacent tissue.

-- Stabilize and anchor the blood vessel.

Term
What do the blood vessel of the arteries and veins do?
Definition

- Layered wall gice arteries and veins considerable strenght.

- Elastic and collagen components allow for stretching and recoiling.

-- Blood pressure changes

-- Blood volume changes

Term
Arteries?
Definition

- Elastic (conducting arteries)

-- Large vessels: Diameters up to 2.5 cm

-- Transport large volumes of blood away from the heart.

-- Extremely resilient

--- Highdensity of elastic fibers

--- Few smooth muscle fibers

--- Tolerate pressure changes that occur during the cardiac cycle.

--Example: Aorta, Pulmonary arteries, Common carotid artery.

Term
Muscular (distribution arteries)?
Definition

-Sinusolds 

Term
What is Continuous Capillaries?
Definition

What do the capillaries walls look like?
Definition

-- Diffusion across the edothelial cells (ECs)

-- Diffusion through gaps bewteen adjacent ECs

-- Diffusion through pores in fenstrated and sinusolds

-- Vesicular transpirt by ECs

Term
Veins do what?
Definition

Term
Large veins?
Definition

- Examples- Great veins, superior and inferior vena cava.

- Slender media and thick adcentitia

-- Collagen and elastic fibers.

Term
Valves veins?
Definition

- Pressure is too low to oppose the force of gavity.

- Presents backflow of blood

- Formed by infolding of the initma 

- Any movements that distort of compress a vein will push blood toward the heart.

Term
Arteries versus veins?
Definition

- Walls of arteries are generally thicker that those of veins.

-- Media of an artery contain more elastic fibers

-- Arteries contain more elastic fibers

- Walls of the arteries contract when not opposed by blood pressure

-- In sectional views arteries apper smaller than veins 

-- Arteries will retain a cirular shape in section.

- Veins have valves.

Term
Does the heart contain the most blood or does the veins and arteries contian the most blood? 
Definition

- The veins and arteries contain the most blood.

- Veins are capacltance vessels
