The circulatory system

Terms

undefined, object
copy deck
medium for disseminating oxygen, nutrients, and various cell products to the body tissues and removing metabolic wastes
blood
Blood flow
RA-tricuspid-RV-pulmonary valve-pulmonary circulation
Blood flow(O2 in lungs)
lungs-LA-mitral valve-LV-aortic valve-systemic circulation
In pulmonary and systemic systems, blood flow
arteries-arterioles-capillaries-venules-veins-heart
impulse-conduction system begins
SA-node
SA node is located in?
RA
pacemaker of heart
SA node
SA Node is innervated by?
both divisions of the ANS (sym increases and parasym decreases)
AV node
wave comes here through internodal pathways
Where is AV node located?
interatrrial septum
AV bundle
bundle of His; gives off Purkinje fibers
Where is AV bundle located?
interventricular septum
endocardium
lines inside of heart
Where are Purkinje fibers found?
subendocardial connective tissue (endocardium)
myocardiun
thick middle layer *cardiac muscle
epicardium
outer heart covering *mesothelium
pericardium
sac that contains heart *fibrous and serous
tricuspid
b/w RA and RV
mitral (bicuspid)
b/w LA and LV
chordae tendinae
(mitral and tricuspid) help prevent blood from being forced back into the atria
pulmonary semilunar
b/w RV and pulmonary artery
aortic semilunar
LV and aorta
elastic arteries
largest (aorta,pulmonary)
muscular arteries
transport blood; smooth muscle innervated by postganglionic symp; media and adventitia are same thickness
arterioles
smallest; regulate blood flow into capillaries
innervated by postganglionic fibers; media 1-5 layers
arterioles
primary determinant of systemic blood pressure
regulation in smooth muscle in arterioles
capillaries
supply oxygen, nutrients, and tissue fluids; single file blood cells
this vessels' endothelial cells often exhibit endocytotic pits and coated vesicles
capillaries
continuous capillaries
most common; least leaky
Where are continuous capillaries found?
muscle
Where fenestrated capillaries found?
sml intest., kidney, endocrine glands
Where are sinusoidal capillaries found?
liver, spleen, bone marrow, endocrine glands
precapillary sphincter
regulates amount of blood entering capillary bed
arteriovenous shunts
allow blood to pass directly from arteries to veins
where do plasma and leukocytes escape during acute inflammatory reactions?
venules
Who has a better developed vasa vasorum
veins
walls of ? contain more lymphatics?
veins
lymphatic capillaries
end blindly; lack a distinct basement membrane; do not have pericytes; have anchoring filaments
Which vessels do not contain three layers
capillaries and venules
tunica intima of elastic, muscular, and arterioles
endothelial layer, basment membrane, internal elastic membrane
tunica media of elastic and muscular
smooth muscle, external elastic membrane, elastin
tunica media has only 1-5 layers of smooth muscle
arterioles
tunica adventitia of elastic and muscular
collagen, elastic, fibroblasts, vasa vasorum
tunica adventitia of arterioles
has no vasa vasorum; collagen and elastic
Most parts of the body have?
fascia occludens b/w capillary endothelial cells
In the brain?
zonula occludens b/w ecapillary endothelial cells
blood-brain barrier
zonula occludens forming complete seal
contain numerous pinocytotic vesicles
fenestrated capillaries
contain macrophages
sinusoidal capillaries
terminal arterioles
deliver blood to capillaries
Volume of blood passing thru capillary bed is controlled by?
precapillary spincters at regions where capillaries arise from terminal arterioles and metarterioles and by vasoconstriction of the metarterioles themselves
flow of blood from capillaries and metarterioles
postcapillary venules-collecting venules-muscular venules-small collecting veins
Where do lymphatic vessels drain?
thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct
