AFF Lab: Circulatory System (Arteries and Veins)

tunica intima

innermost layer of a blood vessel

tunica media

- middle layer of a blood vessel

- made of smooth muscle

tunica externa

- outermost layer of a blood vessel

- anchors vessels to tissues

tunica media

arteries are thicker and more round than veins because the... has more layers

arteries

blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart

veins

blood vessels that carry blood to the heart

lymphatic vessels

blood vessels that collect tissue fluid and return it to the venous system

umbilical vein

in fetal circulation, the only vessel transporting oxygen rich blood

ductus arteriosus

- a short connection between the pulmonary trunk and the arch of the aorta

- in fetus

ligamentum arteriosum

the ductus arteriosus becomes a functionless solid cord called the...

from the aorta and through the ductus arteriosus

how atrial blood gets to lungs in a fetus

the pulmonary artery

how atrial blood gets to lungs in an adult

smaller and thicker; larger and thinner

arteries tend to be... and veins tend to be...
