Types of blood vessels

Arteries- carry blood away from the heart


Capillaries- exchange vessels


Veins- carry blood toward the heart

Arteries and veins structure

Tunica intima-lines the blood vessel and is exposed to blood. Endothelium simple squamous epithelium (selectively preamble barrier)


Tunica media- smooth muscle. Faso motor Nerve fibers controls vasoconstriction and vasodilation of vessels


Tunica externa outermost layer collagen fibers protect vasa vasorum

Elastic arteries (conducting)

aorta act as pressure reservoirs expand and recoil as blood is ejected from heart large lumen

Muscular (distributing) arteries

Deliver blood to body organs(active in vasoconstriction)

Arterioles

Smallest lead to capillary beds

Capillaries

Walls of thin tunica intima. Function exchange of gases, nutrients, wastes, hormones

3 types of capillaries

Continuous capillaries- least preamble in most tissues. Allows passages of solutes


Fenestrated capillaries-kidneys and small intestine endothelial cells riddled with holes called filtration pores (organs that require rapid absorb tigons or filtration.)


Sinusoids- liver bone marrow spleen, irregular blood filled spaces with large fenestrations

Throughfare channels of capillary beds

Metarteriole that continues through capillary bed to venule

Precapillary sphinters capillary beds

Controls which beds are well perfused


Sphincters open capillaries are well perfused with blood=exchanges with tissue fluid


Sphincters close blood bypasses capillaries flows through channels vascular shunt

Veins

Capacitance vess


Greater capacity for blood containment than arteries


Adaptions that ensure return of blood to the heart


Large diameter lumens offer little resistance


Valves prevent backflow of blood

Blood flow

Volume of blood flowing though a vessel, organ, or entire circulation in a given period,= cardiac output

Blood pressure

The pressure gradient provides the driving force that keeps blood moving from higher to lower pressure areas.

Resistance( periphial)

Opposition to flow measure the amount of friction blood encounters.


Blood viscosity


Total blood vessel length


Blood vessel diameter

Blood pressure increases

Blood flow speeds up (directly proportional)

If resistance increases

blood flow decreases inversely proportional

Systemic pressure

Highest in the aorta declines 0 in the right atrium (steepest drop in arterioles> capillaries)

Factors aiding in venous return

1. Respiratory pump-pressure changes during breathing moves blood toward the heart


2. Muscular pump- contractile of skeletal muscles milk blood toward heart


3. Vasoconstriction of veins

Sort term neural controls of BP

Baroreceptors in carotid sinuses aortic arch bad walls of arteries


Baroreflex negative feedback response to changes in BP. ( increases in BP defected in carotid sinuses). Inhibit the sympathetic cardiac and vasomotor neurons reducing sympathetic tone(vasodilation)


Baroreceptors in carotid sinus protect blood to brain


Baroreceptors in the aortic maintain adequate BP in the systemic circuit

Short term neural controls of BP

Chemo reflex response to changes in blood chemistry Ph and gas concentration



Sort term hormonal controls of BP

Hormones influence BP through vasoconstrictive effects or regulating water balance

Long term regulation of BP

Control BP by altering blood volume (kidneys)


Direct renal independently of hormones


Indirect renin antagonism

Measuring BP 1sounds occur when....

Blood starts to spurt though the artery and stop when artery is no longer constricted

Auto regulation

The ability of he tissue to regulate their own blood supply. Is controlled by modifying the diameter if local arterioles feeding the capillaries

Auto regulation types

Metabolic- wastes


Myotonic stretch

Long term auto regulation

Angiogenesis when shot term autoregulation cannot meet tissue requirements vessels ^

Capillaries exchange if lipid soluble molecules

Diffusion (gases)

Capillary exchange of water soluble solutes

Pass thought clefts and fenestrations ( amino acids and sugars)

Capillary exchange of large molecules

Pink yogic vesicles or caveolae

Fluid movement bulk flow

Direction and amount if fluid flow depends in two opposing forces hydrostatic( tends to force fluid out) (arterial end)and colloid osmotic pressures( draw water in)(venous end)=net filtration pressure

Circulatory shock

any condition Blood vessels are inadequately filled blood cannot circulate normally

During ventricular systole myocardial blood flow

Stops

Low o2 levels in lungs

Vasoconstriction
