General
Which vessels are high pressure?
Arteries
Which type of capillary is found in areas of active filtration, absorption, or endocrine hormone secretion like in the kidneys and intestines?
Fenestrated
Lower blood pressure increases/decreases blood flow.
Decreases
This is the process of blood cells moving back into the capillary system.
Reabsorption
This is the artery system in the brain:
Circle of Willis
This is when two or more arteries supply the same area of the body.
An anastamosis
Which specific type of blood vessel dilates to allow blood to flow into a capillary bed?
Terminal arteriole or metarteriole
An increase in vacular resistance would increase/decrease blood flow
Decrease
Which vessels have a thicker tunica externa?
Veins
These three veins are deep in the arm.
Brachial, radial, ulnar
Which vessels carry blood back to the heart?
veins
What are the three methods of capillary exchange?
diffusion, transcytosis, bulk flow
Where is the cardiovascular center of the brain located?
Medulla oblongata
What is the process by which skeletal muscle milks blood back up to the heart?
Muscular pump
A blockage in the subclavian artery would decrease blood flow to the:
Axillary artery
What is the innermost layer (at the lumen) of a blood vessel called?
Tunica intima or tunica interna
Which pressure drives movement of red blood cells out of the capillary at the arterial end of a capillary?
Blood hydrostatic pressure
A blockage in the external iliac artery would decrease blood flow to:
The femoral artery
Large-scale blood loss leads to this type of shock.
Hypovolemic
Blood flows back to the heart from the lower body via the:
Inferior vena cava
Which type of artery is the renal artery?
Muscular artery
Which pressure drives movement of red blood cells back into the capillary at the venule end?
Blood colloid osmotic pressure
The vein found in the neck is called:
Jugular veins
This is considered normal blood pressure
Below 120/80
The vein that brings blood from the spleen and intestines to the liver is called the:
Hepatic portal vein
