Misc. Blood Vessels facts
100
These are the vessels with the greatest cross-sectional area.
What is Capillaries
100
This is the longest Vein in the body, and this is a unique use of this vein.
What is Great Saphenous Vein. Used for Prolonged administration of IV Fluids
100
These are the Direct Branches of the Arch of the Aorta.
What is Brachiocephalic Artery, Left Common Carotid Artery, and Left Subclavian Artery
100

I carry oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where oxygen enters the bloodstream

What is the Pulmonary Artery?

100
Vasodilation of arteries is the result of this.
What is decrease sympathetic stimulation
200
Most fluid and proteins that escape from blood vessels to the interstitial fluid are returned to the blood by this system.
What is the Lymphatic system
200
This is the approximate percentage of the total volume of blood that is normally found in veins and venules.
What is 60%
200
These are the very first branches of the Aorta.
What is Coronary arteries
200

These are the only veins in the body that carry oxygen rich blood.

What are Pulmonary Veins?

200
When arteries are stimulated by the sympathetic system they react with this action which does this to the blood pressure.
What is vasoconstriction of arteries and Increases blood pressure
300
The Volume of fluid Reabsorbed at the venous end of a capillary is nearly equal to the volume of fluid filtered out at the arterial end.
What is Starling's law of the Capillaries
300
These three factors directly aid in the increase of venous return.
What is Skeletal Muscle Contraction, Respiratory Pump (Breathing), and Valves
300
This artery divides into the radial and ulnar arteries and does this here.
What is Brachial artery, and at the bend of the elbow or medial cubital fossa
300
Deoxygenated blood flows to the liver through this vein, which has major contributions from these two veins.
What is Hepatic Portal Vein, and Splenic and Superior Mesenteric veins drain into the Hepatic Portal Vein.
300
The first kortokoff sound comes from this.
What is Systole of Ventricles which is Systolic Pressure.
400
These are the small blood vessels that deliver blood to capillaries, which are then connected to these before blood is drained in veins.
What is Arterioles, and Venules
400
These veins are most often involved when long hours of standing causes this condition of the superficial veins.
What is Saphenous Veins and Varicose Veins
400
These arteries supply the uterus, prostate gland, muscles of the buttocks, and the urinary bladder. They also can be called this when pertaining to the pelvis.
What is the Internal Iliac arteries, and the primary arteries of the pelvis.
400
This is how long it takes for 5 liters of blood to circulate from the left Ventricle-to the body-back to the right atrium.
What is One Minute!
400
Baroreceptors are found here and function in this way.
What is the walls of Carotid arteries and Aorta, and they monitor changes in blood pressure.
500
This is how the structure of capillaries differ from veins and arteries. (be specific)
What is Capillaries have only a basement membrane, Thin Tunica Interna, and a NARROW lumen, Veins have a larger Lumen, but thin tunica interna and no elastic in tunica media, but they have a THICK tunica externa, and arteries have an average lumen, average tunica interna, a THICK tunica media, and an average tunica externa
500
This is the largest vein in the body, whereas these veins unite with axillary veins to form the subclavian veins, but these veins can return blood from the lower body to the superior vena cava when the largest vein in the body and the hepatic portal vein become obstructed.
What is Inferior Vena Cava, Cephalic Veins, and Azygous Vein
500
These are all the branches of the Aorta from closest to the heart to furthest away. (please include specific branches from each branch of the aorta)
What is Ascending Aorta: Coronary arteries, Arch of the Aorta: Brachiocephalic(right common carotid,right subclavian)- Left common carotid, Left Subclavian, Descending Aorta or Thoracic Aorta: Pericardial Arteries, Bronchial arteries, esophageal arteries, mediastinal arteries, intercostal arteries, sub costal arteries and sub phrenic arteries, Abdominal Aorta: Superficially the Celiac arteries, Superior mesenteric arteries, and Inferior Mesenteric Arteries,and posteriorly the Renal arteries. finally Right and Left Common Iliac Arteries
500
These Vessels drain blood into the internal jugular veins, but these vessels supply blood to the brain
What is Sigmoid Sinuses, Carotid arteries and Vertebral arteries,
500
These are the Three factors that directly affects systemic vascular resistance, and if they Increase they all do this to blood pressure.
What is Viscosity, blood vessel length, and Vasoconstriction(diameter of lumen). They all increase Blood Pressure.
