Term
What is the function of: artery, vein, capillary, venule, arteriole?
Definition
artery: carry oxygenated blood away from heart to body

vein: return deoxygenated blood back to heart to be oxygenated

capillary: bring nutrients and oxygen to tissues and remove waste products

venule: small b.v. that allows deoxygenated blood to return from capillary beds to larger veins

arteriole: controlled by sympathetic n.s., constrict and dialate to regulate blood flow. transport blood from arteries to capillaries
Term
In general terms, what regions of the body are drained by the SVC?
Definition
upper limbs and above diaphram
Term
In general terms, what regions of the body are drained by the IVC?
Definition
lower limbs and below diaphram
Term
All cells of the body receive oxygenated blood from branches of the ___________.
Definition
aorta
Term
Oxygenated blood is supplied to the following organs/regions by which specific branches:
1. brain
2. head/face
3. upper limbs
4. lower limbs
5. lungs
6. heart
7. liver
8. small intestine
9. large intestine
10. pelvic organs
Definition
1. brain < internal coratid artery
2. head/face < external coratid artery
3. upper limbs < R/L subclavian artery
4. lower limbs < common iliac artery
5. lungs < bronchial artery
6. heart < R/L aortic branches
7. liver < hepatic artery
8. small intestine < superior mesenteric artery
9. large intestine < superior mesenteric artery
10. pelvic organs < internal iliac artery
Term
What two specific veins form the SVC? What 2 specific veins form the IVC?
Definition
SVC: R/L brachiocephalic veins
IVC: R/L common iliac veins
Term
What are the 2 terminal branches of the Abdominal Aorta? At what vertebral level does the branching occur?
Definition
Common iliacs, L4
Term
What are the 3 branches of the Aortic Arch? What regions of the body are supplied by these 3 branches?
Definition
Brachiocephalic:
R common coratid < head/neck
R sublcavian < R upper limb
L common coratid: head/neck
L subclavian: L upper limb
Term
What specific region is drained by the Dural venous sinuses? Where does the blood in these sinuses drain?
Definition
the back of the brain draining into the internal jugular vein
Term
What 2 veins unite to form the Hepatic Portal Vein? To what specific organ does the Hepatic Portal Vein carry the blood? What veins drain this organ? Where do the drainage veins terminate?
Definition
splenic vein and superior mesenteric
hepatic portal vein carries blood to liver
terminates to the IVC (?)
Term
Be able to match the 3 layers of the wall of a blood vessel with a definition. Study the diagram of the artery versus a vein, Fig.20.1a. Be able to draw it, label it, and know the layers and predominant tissue of each layer.

Term
How is the wall of an artery different from the wall of a vein? What is the function of a valve?
Definition
an artery has a thicker tunica media compared to the tunica media of a vein and a vein has a valve.
the valve keeps blood moving in one direction: back to the heart
Term
How is the structure of an elastic artery different from the structure of a muscular artery?
Definition
a muscular artery has a thicker tunica externa and smaller lumen compared to the elastic artery and h
