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