1
What are the three layers of blood vessel walls called?
Tunica interna, tunica media, tunica externa.
New cards
2
What is the main function of the tunica interna (intima)?
Lines the blood vessel and is exposed to blood; site of material exchange.
New cards
3
What are elastic arteries also known as?
Conducting arteries.
New cards

Name an example of a conducting artery.
Pulmonary artery, aorta, or common carotid artery.
New cards
5

New cards
9

Kidneys and small intestine.
New cards
10
What do sinusoids allow the passage of?
Larger molecules such as proteins and blood cells.
New cards
11
What are veins considered in terms of their function?
Capacitance vessels.
New cards
12

How is arterial blood pressure measured? and with what measurments?

Using a sphygmomanometer at the brachial artery. Systolic/Diastolic Pressure

New cards
13
What is the formula for Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)?
Diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure.
New cards
14
What are the three factors that influence peripheral resistance?
Blood viscosity, blood vessel length, and blood vessel radius.
New cards
15
How does blood vessel radius affect blood flow?
Larger radius increases blood flow; smaller radius decreases blood flow.
New cards
16
What does vasomotion refer to?
Changes in vessel radius, including vasoconstriction and vasodilation.
New cards
17
What is the primary physiological purpose of vasoreflexes?
Increase or decrease blood pressure and flow rate.
New cards
18
What drives filtration at the capillary level?
Blood (hydrostatic) pressure.
New cards
19
What is edema a result of?
Increased hydrostatic pressure, decreased colloid osmotic pressure, or blockage of lymph drainage.
New cards
20
Define hypertension according to the lecture notes.
Chronic resting blood pressure greater than 140/90.
New cards
21
What risk factors are linked to primary hypertension?

Heredity, race, gender, aging, stress, obesity, lifestyle, and smoking.

New cards
22
What type of hypertension results from identifiable disorders?
Secondary hypertension.
New cards
23
What is a common cause of secondary hypertension?
Kidney disease, atherosclerosis, or hyperthyroidism.
New cards
24
What is the function of the coronary arteries?
Supply blood to the heart muscle.
New cards
25
What is the purpose of the pulmonary circuit?
Exchange CO2 for O2 in the lungs.
New cards
26
From which arteries does blood primarily supply the brain?
Internal carotid and vertebral arteries.
New cards
27
What is the significance of the hepatic portal system?
Receives blood from the digestive tract to allow the liver to process and detoxify nutrients.
New cards
28
What is the largest blood vessel in the body?
Inferior vena cava.
New cards
29
What are the superficial veins of the upper limb called?
Cephalic vein, basilic vein, and median cubital vein.
New cards
30
Where does the great saphenous vein empty?
Into the femoral vein.
New cards
31
What occurs to peripheral resistance when blood vessel length increases?
Peripheral resistance increases; blood flow decreases.
New cards
32
What is a characteristic of resistance arteries?
They control blood flow to specific tissues and organs.
New cards
33
What major blood vessels drain the head and neck region?
Internal jugular and external jugular veins.
New cards
34
What kind of capillary allows rapid exchange of small molecules due to its filtration pores?
Fenestrated capillaries.
New cards
35
What happens when vascular resistance increases?
Blood pressure rises.
New cards
36
Name one treatment for hypertension.
Weight loss, exercise, dietary changes, or medication.
New cards
37

formula for Cardiac Output

CO = HR x SV.

New cards
38

What are the 3 main circulatory routes

Simplest pathway, portal system and anastomosis

New cards
39

Simplest Pathway: Most common route

Heart-arteries-arterioles-capillaries-venules-veins-back to heart

New cards
40

Portal System

Blood flows through 2 consectuive caplarillary netowrks before returning to heart

ex. btw intestines and liver

New cards
41

Anastomosisis

artery directly to vein: fingers, toes, ears; reduces heat loss

New cards
42

calculate pulse pressure

PP= SP-DP

New cards
43

what is perfusion

the RATE of blood flow per given mass of tissue

New cards
44

What is blood flow and perfusion determined by?

Blood pressure and resistance

New cards
45

Chronic resting BP for Hypotension

90/60

New cards
46

Chronic resting bp for Normal

120-135/75

New cards
47

Chronic resting bp of 140/90

Hypertension

New cards
48

Peripheral resistance: Higher Viscosity equals…

lower blood flow

New cards
49

Peripheral resistance: Blood Vessel length:- Higher distance

Lower blood flow

New cards
50

Peripheral resistance: Blood vessel radius:- Lower/smaller radius =

lower blood flow

New cards
51

% of cases/ risk factors and treatment for primary Hypertension

90%, Lifestyle and genetics; weight management, low sodium diet, physical activity

New cards
52

% of cases/risk factors and treatment for secondary Hypertension

(10%) caused by another disease like kidney disease, adrenal gland disorder, or sleep apnea; address other disease, lifestyle modifications

New cards
53

three factors that affect peripheral resistance

Blood Vessel radius, Blood vessel length, Viscosity

New cards
54

Two purposes of vasomotion

Baroreflex and Chemoreflex

New cards
55

What is vasomotion

change in vessel radius+ vasoconstriction and vasodilation

New cards
56

What would the baroreceptors do to the cardiac center and the vasomotor center if there was an INCREASE in blood pressure?

BAroreceptors would signal cardiac center to decrease HR by increasing parasympathetic(vagal) activity

New cards
57

What would the baroreceptors do to the cardiac center and the vasomotor center if there was a DECREASE in blood pressure? 

Vasomotor center would increase vasoconstriction to increase blood pressure

New cards
58

What would the chemoreceptors in the medulla do in response to ê blood flow to brain (ischemia)?

Vasomotor center:

Vasoconstrict to increase BP

Cardiac center:

Send signals to CC to stim sympathetic fiber to increase HR and contraction force

New cards
59

List the factors that lead to EDEMA (fluid accumulation in the body)

  • Increased Hydrostatic pressure

  • Decrease colloid osmotic pressure

  • Blockage of drainage to lymph capillaries
