| Arteries | carry blood AWAY from the heart |
| Veins | carry blood BACK to the heart |
| Capillaries | serve as site of exchange, either between the blood and the air sacs |
| What is vasodilation? | widening of the blood vessel lumen and decreases bp caused by the relaxation of smooth muscle cells in arteries causes an increase in blood flood |

| What influence does blood vessel diameter have on peripheral resistance? | blood tend to flow fastest at the center of the vessel lumen, while blood near the sides of the vessels are slow because it encounters resistance from the nearby vessel wall |
| What is hypovolemic shock? | a life threatening condition that results when you lose 20 % of your body's blood or fluid supply. This makes it impossible for the heart to pump sufficiently |

| What are the 3 types of capillaries? | continuous fenestrated sinusoidal |
| Continuous capillaries | most common type endothelial cells form a complete, continuous lining around the lumen that rests on a complete basement membrane allowing small molecules like water and ions to diffuse through tight junctions |
| Fenestrated capillaries | have pores in the endothelial cells they allow small molecules and limited amounts of protein to diffuse |
| Sinussoidal capillaries | are a special type of capillary that have larger openings and allow red and white blood cells and various serum proteins to pass using a process aided by a discontinuous basal lamina |
| What factors affect venous blood flow? | radius of the veins larger the radius the faster the blood flow and smaller radius will slow down |
| What is the difference between hypertension and hypotension? | hypertension is having chronically elevated bp and hypotension is having chronically low |
| If a person has essential hypertension ex: 200/120, what particular characteristic would this person experience? | increased work of left ventricle, increased incidence of coronary artery disease, and increased damage to blood vessel endothelium |

| What can cause secondary hypertension? | having a medical condition in the kidney, artery, heart, or endocrine system problems can cause this ex: arteriosclerosis |
| What part of the body would you find low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high O2 levels causing vasodilation? | lungs |

| When a person's bp is almost normal, do they lose a little blood? Does that mean they are receiving adequate blood flow? | no because other situations can give you normal bp and still have some other form that is affecting |
| What major shunts are found in the fetal heart/fetal circulation? | Ductus arteriosus ductous venosus Foramen ovale |
| Ductus Arteriosus | protects lungs against circulatory overload and allows the right ventricle to strengthen |
| Ductus Venosus | fetal blood vessel connecting the umbilical cord vein to the inferior vena cava |
| Foramen Ovale | shunt that is highly oxygenated blood from the right atrium to the left atrium |
| What situations can cause an increase in arterial bp? | anything that will excite the body like stress, exercise, pain and discomfort |
| Where are baroreceptors located? What are they indicative of? | located in the carotid sinus and in the aortic arch and their function is to sense pressure changes by responding to change in the tension of the arterial wall |
