Question
Answer
show Arteries, capillaries, and veins  
🗑
Arteries function   show
🗑
Capillaries function, location, type of tissue, what layers does it have   show
🗑
show Carry blood from tissues back to the heart. Thin, non-elastic, walls that can't withstand much pressure, but thicker than arteries. CONTAIN VALVES. (60% of volume at rest)  
🗑
show 1. Tunica interna (intima), 2. Tunica media 3. Tunica externa (adventitia)  
🗑
Tunica interna (intima)   show
🗑
show Middle layer, sheets of smooth muscle in loose CT.  
🗑
Tunica externa (adventitia)   show
🗑
show Elastic (conducting/large), Muscular (distributing/medium), and Arterioles (small)  
🗑
show Tunica media: many elastic fibers, few muscle cells. Contains Vasa Vasorum. Ex: pulmonary trunk, aorta, common carotid, subclavian, common iliac  
🗑
Vasa Vasorum   show
🗑
show Make up majority of arteries. Tunica media has many muscle cells. Many are named after internal organ it feeds; Ex: external carotid, brachial, and femoral  
🗑
Arterioles   show
🗑
What are the 3 types of capillaries   show
🗑
show Complete basement membrane on outside with tunica intima inside. Intercellular cleft. Ex: skeletal/smooth muscle, and CT.  
🗑
Fenestrated Capillaries   show
🗑
show Incomplete basement membrane, tunica intima has intercellular gaps for blood cells to pass through. Ex: Liver, bone marrow, spleen, anterior pituitary.  
🗑
show 1. Venules, 2. Medium, and 3. Large  
🗑
show Smallest veins that carry blood away from capillaries  
🗑
Medium sized veins   show
🗑
Large sized veins   show
🗑
show Superior/inferior mesenteric and splenic veins pass blood flow into liver and through 2nd capillary bed. Then from the liver the hepatic vein returns to the inferior vena cava  
🗑
show Force exerted by blood on blood vessel walls  
🗑
show Millimeters of mercury (mmHg)  
🗑
show Maximum pressure exerted on blood vessel walls (first # in BP reading)  
🗑
show Minimum pressure exerted on blood vessel walls (second # in BP reading)  
🗑
Hemodynamics   show
🗑
show Twisted, dilated, superficial veins. Cause by leaking of valves of veins. Help with blackflow and pooling of blood.  
🗑
show Heart -> artery -> arteriole -> capillaries -> venules -> veins  
🗑
show Blood flows through 2 consecutive capillary networks before returning to heart -3 total in body - (hypothalamus/anterior pituitary, kidneys, intestine/liver)  
🗑
show We could not regulate our BP  
🗑
BHP   show
🗑
BCOP   show
🗑
show Liver (except globulins)  
🗑
IFHP   show
🗑
show "Interstitial fluid osmotic pressure " - A form of osmotic pressure in the interstitial fluid that drives the fluid out of the capillaries (but is very low compared to BCOP and BHP)  
🗑
show "Net Filtration Pressure" - factors pushing out-> (BHP + IFOP) - (BCOP + IFHP) <- factors pulling in  
🗑
show Filtration  
🗑
show Reabsorption  
🗑
show NFP result (artery) + NFP result (vein) = Net Hydrostatic Pressue. Ex: 10+(-9)=1  
🗑
What happens to escaping fluid out of your capillaries   show
🗑
show Easily moves things across capillaries that are lipid soluble (O2/CO2.) Larger proteins will be help back (channels, clefts, fenestration's)  
🗑
show Moves material across in tiny vesicles by endocytosis/exocytosis (large lipid soluble molecules like insulin, albumin)  
🗑
Filtration & absorption in capillary exchange   show
🗑
show Circulatory shock, tissue necrosis, pulmonary edema (suffocation), cerebral edema (headache, seizure, coma)  
🗑
show Faster/veins  
🗑
What is venous return dependent on   show
🗑
show Longer/friction/increases  
🗑
___ miles of vessels for 1 pound of _____   show
🗑
show The blood is having to use more pressure to increase the velocity of blood flow and length it needs to travel  
🗑
show You will have increase in friction, decrease of flow resulting in increase in BP (dehydration & polycythemia)  
🗑
What happens in smaller radii of vessels   show
🗑
What controls BP by changing its diameter   show
🗑
What are 3 reasons the blood flow from the aorta to the capillaries decreases   show
🗑
show 1. Large amount of blood forced into smaller channels, 2. Never regains velocity of large arteries  
🗑
The skeletal muscle pump process   show
🗑
show Thoracic cavity expands when you breath, increasing the volume and decreasing the pressure, abdominal pressure increases, forcing blood upward  
🗑
show Neurogenic shock, loss of vasomotor tone, vasodilation (emotional shock - brain stem injury)  
🗑
show Pro-hormone released by liver which stimulates the release of Renin (kidney enzyme for low BP) and they together activate angiotensin 1  
🗑
show ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme in lungs, which blocks the enzyme lowering BP) converts angiotensin 1 into angiotensin 2  
🗑
Angiotensin 2   show
🗑
show Angiotensin, aldosterone, ADH, Epinephrine & norepinephrine, atrial natiruretic factor  
🗑
Atrial Natiruretic Factor Hormone and BP   show
🗑
show Promotes Na+ and water retention by the kidneys, increases blood volume and pressure (activated by angiotensin 2)  
🗑
ADH and BP   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
