Blood vessels and circulation

vaso vasorum

what are the blood vessels called that are within the walls of the thickets blood vessels

intima

the deepest layer of a blood vessel

it’s made of the endothelium of the vessel

Media 

The middle layer of a blood vessel 

it’s made up of smooth muscle 

it allows vasoconstriction and vasodilation

externa 

the most superficial layer of a blood vessel 

fibers of the externa anchor the blood vessels 

elastic arteries

the biggest type of artery

can be up to 2.5cm in diameter

have elastic membranes in the media and intima

muscular arteries 

the mid-sized type of artery

can be up to .4 cm in diameter

has a thicker media than elastic arteries

the diameter of the vessel is under control by the autonomic nervous system

arterioles 

the smallest type of artery 

very thin externa and an incomplete media 

controls the blood flow between arteries and capillaries 

capillaries

the smallest type of vessel in the body

about the diameter of a red blood cell

the most delicate

does not have externa or media

the only vessels where nutrient and waste exchange occurs

continuous capillaries

the name for the type of capillary where their endothelial lining is complete

fenestrated capillaries

the name for the type of capillary where their endothelial lining is not complete. They have a porous lining that is big enough for plasma to flow through

sinusoid capillaries 

the name for the type of capillary where their endothelial lining is not complete. They’re also called discontinuous capillary

contains pores and large gaps in the lining that is big enough for red blood cells to enter and exit

venules

the smallest kind of vein

collects blood from capillaries

have a thin or missing media

medium sized vein

the middle sized vein

has the largest externa of the other types of veins

has elastic fibers

one way valves are present

found next to muscular arteries

large veins 

the biggest of the types of veins

does have some smooth muscle 

carotid sinus

what is the structure called where the internal and external carotid arteries split from the common carotid artery? The space where they split play a big role in blood pressure regulation and also blood Ph regulation
