1

three layers of blood vessels from outside to inside

tunica externa:outermost layer, contains collagen fibers

tunica media: middletunic, smooth muscles

tunica intima: endothelium, innermost layer

2

a blood vessel supplying blood to the larger blood vessel is called

vasa vasorum

3

list the types of blood capillaries

continuous:gas exchange, found in brain, testes, lungs etc. least permeable and most common

fenestrated: active filtration and absorption, found in kidneys and small intestines

sinusoid: most permeable, found in liver, spleen, and especially bone marrow, lymphnodes

4

anatomy of capillary bed

arteriole > precapillary sphincter > true capillary and metaarteriole > venule

5

____ are the capacitance blood vessels that holds up to ___ of blood

6

Normal range of systolic blood pressure is

100 - 140 mmHg

7

when recording pulse, one should note:

rate, rhythm, volume, characteristics of an artery

8

force per unit area exerted on an interior of a vessel wall by the contained blood is called

blood pressure

9

the types of blood vessels circuits

pulmonary and systemic

10

high blood pressure in pulmonary vasculature is called

11

high blood pressure in systemic vasculature is called

systemic hypertension

12

opposition to the blood flow is called

vascular resistance

resistance

14

increase in blood viscosity will increase the ___ and __ the resistance

friction; higher

15

anemia will___ the friction and thereby___ resistance

decrease; decrease

17

increase in the length of blood vessel will___ the resistance to blood flow

increase

18

increasing the diameter of blood vessel will___ the resistance to blood flow

decrease

19

Resistance is____ proportional to length of blood vessels

directly

20

Resistance is____ proportional to diameter of blood vessel

inversely

21

Higher the turbulent flow___ the resistance in blood vessels

higher

22

Difference in blood pressure between any two points in a blood vessel is the

blood pressure

23

Rate of flow of blood is___ proportional to the difference of blood pressure at any two points in circulation

directly

24

rate of flow of blood is___ proportional to resistance in a blood vessel

inversely

25

Define pulse pressure

difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure

26

increasing the diameter of blood vessel will___ the resistance to blood flow

decrease

27

blood flow = resistance/blood pressure

false

28

Net filtration rate from a capillary is equal to

NFP = (HPc - HPif) - (OPc - OPif)

29

force per unit area exerted on the wall of a blood vessel by its contained blood is called

blood pressure

30

the blood pressure in the capillaries ranges from to 20 to 40 mmHg

true

31

the coronary arteries arises from the

aorta

32

the inferior vena cava brings blood from the lower regions of the body and empties into the

right atrium

33

the major long term mechanism of blood pressure control is provided by the

kidneys

34

reduction in lumen diameter of a blood vessel as the smooth muscle contracts is known as

vasoconstriction

35

the increase in lumen diameter of a blood vessel as the smooth muscle relaxes is known as

vasodilation

36

exchange of gases and nutrients occurs by diffusion between the

capillaries and tissue cells

37

any condition in which blood vessels are inadequately filled and blood cannot circulate normally is called

circulatory shock

38

which of the following regulates blood flow at the entrance of each true capllary

precapilllary sphincter

elastic arteries

41

which of the following conditions may not develop the varicose veins

walking on heels with pressure on the calf muscles

42

at any given time, up to 65% of the body's blood supply is found in

veins

43

most neural controls of blood pressure involve the input from baroreceptors that are sensitive to

changes in blood pressure

44

which of the following blood vessels is the most susceptible to atherosclerosis

the aorta

45

the heart produces a hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide that causes blood volume and blood pressure to decline

true

46

the device used to measure blood pressure is called

sphygmomanometer

47

the device used for listening to the breath sound is called___ and the sound produced by the blood flow through the narrow blood vessel during blood pressure measurement is called___ sound

stethoscope; sounds of korotkoff

48
