52
New cards
In what vessels are all 3 tunica present?
* Arteries
* Veins
* Large capillaries
53
New cards
Is the tunica intima larger in arteries or veins?
Veins because veins have a larger diameter
54
New cards
In what vessel is the tunica media the largest layer?

55
New cards
What is the tunica media made up of in arteries?
Elastin fibers and smooth muscle
56

What is the tunica media made up of in veins?
* Lots of collagen fibers
* Smooth muscle
* Very few elastin fibers
59
New cards
Why does the tunica media in veins have a lot more structure and much less elasticity?
It’s not important for the tunica media to expand and recoil in veins because veins have such low pressure
60
New cards
What feature do veins have due to such low pressure?
Valves to prevent backflow and fight gravity

* Valves shut as soon as blood flows by
61
New cards
Do arteries or veins have more smooth muscle in their tunica media?
Arteries
62
New cards
What does smooth muscle do in veins?
* Venoconstriction
* Gives veins structure so they don’t collapse in such low pressure

Veins
64
New cards
What is the tunica externa made up of in arteries?
Collagen fibers, smooth muscle, and elastin fibers

* Hold arteries in place
66
New cards
What is the tunica externa made up of in veins?
Collagen fibers and smooth muscle
67
New cards
Why do veins have lots of collagen fibers?
Because they need a lot of structure with such low pressure
68
New cards
What is the ratio of collagen and smooth muscle in veins?

73
New cards
What do elastic arteries have a lot of in their tunica media?
Lots of elastin fibers
74
New cards
What do elastic arteries have to do?
Compensate pressure from the volume and pressure of blood coming from the heart

* Uses expansion and recoil
75
New cards
What happens if arteries can’t expand and recoil in response to pressure changes?
They become too weak and break

* Aneurism
76
New cards
What artery is an example of an elastic artery?
The aorta
77
New cards
Even thought the tunica media of elastic arteries is mostly elastin fibers, do elastic arteries have more or less smooth muscle than other arteries?
More smooth muscle because the diameter of elastic arteries is larger than the other arteries
78
New cards
What kind of arteries are the result of elastic arteries branching and dividing?
Muscular arteries
79
New cards
What are muscular arteries?
Arteries we name for the specific area of the body that they deliver blood to

82
New cards
Can vasodilation and vasoconstriction occur in muscular arteries?
Yes
83
New cards
Do arteries closer or further from the heart have to sustain greater pressure?
Closer to the heart

* Elastic arteries must sustain the greatest pressure
84
New cards
As muscular arteries get further from the heart, what do they give way to?
Arterioles
85
New cards
What is the tunica media made up of in arterioles?

* Occasionally some elastin fibers too
86
New cards
In what type of artery are vasodilation and vasoconstriction dominant?
Arterioles
87
New cards
What do arterioles do?
Serve capillaries
88
New cards
How do arterioles serve capillaries?
The make sure pressure is not too high to enter the capillaries, but will also meet the needs of capillaries
89
New cards
Why are capillaries fragile?
They are made up of only 1 layer of endothelial cells
90
New cards
Why are capillaries so thin?
