Relaxation
______ of the precapillary sphincter allows blood flow through the true capillaries.
100
True capillaries
______ branch from the metarteriole & make up the bulk of the capillary bed
100
Continuous capillary
endothelial cells form a complete, continuous lining & are connected by tight junctions
100
Veins
The body ______ hold about 60% of the body’s blood
100
Muscular arteries
Smaller/medium size veins run alongside?
200
Contraction
This happens when precapillary sphincter prevents blood flow. It reroutes blood flow from the metarteriole to the postcapillary venule via the thoroughfare channel.
200
Postcapillary venules
Thoroughfare channel connects to?
200
True
True or false - in continuous capillaries materials can pass through the endothelial cells/intercellular clefts by simple diffusion or pinocytosis
200
Venules
______ merge to form veins
200
Elastic arteries
Largest veins run alongside?
300
Extensive capillaries
What in capillary beds cause an increase in the total surface area?
300
Post capillary venules
What drains the capillary beds?
300
Fenestrated capillaries
______ are seen where a great deal of fluid transport between the blood & interstitial tissue occurs
300
Venules
What are companion vessels of arterioles?
300
to prevent blood from pooling in the limbs & assist blood moving back to the heart
What are the purpose of valves in veins?
400
Smooth muscles
Proximal part of metarteriole is encircled & scattered by?
400
Continuous, Fenestrated & Sinusoid
What are the 3 types of capillaries?
400
Veins
What function as blood resorivers?
400
3 tunics
Larger venules have?
400
Skeletal muscle & respiratory pump
Blood return to the heart is facilitated by the?
500
False
True or false - the distal part of metarteriole (thoroughfare channel) has smooth muscles
500
Sinusoid capillary
basement membrane is discontinuous or absent - wider, larger vessels w/ openings that allow transport of larger material
500
Blood pressure
______ has been substantially reduced by the time blood reaches the veins
500
100 micrometers
Venules becomes veins when diameter is greater than
500
Valves
______ are primarily formed of tunica intima & is strengthened by elastic & collagen fibers
