QuestionAnswer
Name the 3 layers of a blood vessels in the cardiovascular system. Tunica Interna, Tunica Media, Tunica Externa
Tunica Interna is what kind of tissue Endothelium and Connective Tissue
Tunica Externa is what kind of tissue Tough fibrous layer
Tunica Media is what kind of tissue Smooth Muslce
What vessel has a thicker tunica media Arteries
What vessel has a one way valve to prevent backflow Veins
Why do Arteries have a thicker tunica media Higher pressure in arteries due to force of the contraction in L ventricle.
What is the function of the blood moving through the arteries Pressure expands arterial wall, left ventricle relaxes, arteries shrink back to normal, pushing blood along.
what vessel has lower pressure. Veins
Blood returning to the heart has to work (with or against) gravity against
what is the purpose of the valve in the vein. to prevent backflow since pressure is lower

medial and lateral plantar arteries are located in the foot
what does the anterior tibila becomes ----- dorsalis pedis artery
dorsalis pedis artery is located on top of the foot
the vessels that enters the skull to reach the brain is internal carotid
