  • Back

Tubular structures that convey blood away or towards the heart

Blood Vessels

Layers of the blood vessel

-Tunica Intima


-Tunica Media


-Tunica Adventitia

There are how many layers of the blood vessels

3

Innermost layer of blood vessels

Tunica Intima

Tunica is made up of

Single layer of endothelial cells

Beneath the endothelium of Tunica Intima is a subendothelium composed of a delicate

Loose Connective Tissue

Non-thrombogenic surface, vascular tone and blood flow, inflammation and local immune response (P-selectin)

Tunica Intima

Inflammation and Local Immune Response

P-selectin

Fenestrated and elastic sheet which is the Boundary between tunica intima and tunica media

Internal Elastic Membrane

Internal Elastic membrane is a subendothelium consisting of

Loose Connective Tissue

Chiefly composed of circumferentially arranged smooth muscle cells

Tunica Media

The smooth muscle cells of Tunica Media is composed of

-Elastic


-Collagen


-Proteoglycans

Found in larger vessels and is Between the tunica media and tunica adventitia

External Elastic Lamina

Tunica Adventitia is also known as

Tunica Serosa

Outermost layer of the blood Vessels

Tunica Adventitia

Consists of loose connective tissue with collagenous and elastic fibers, blood vessels, and nerves

Tunica Adventitia

What kind off connective tissue does Tunica Adventitia contains

Loose Connective Tissue

The loose Connective Tissue of Tunica Adventitia Contains

-Collagenous Fibers


-Elastic Fibers


-Blood Vessels


-Nerves

Blood Vessels within the vessels

Vaso Vasorum

Nerves within the blood vessels

Nervi-Vasorum

Blood supply of blood vessels

Vaso Vasorum

Vaso Vasorum and Nervi Vasorum are found in

Tunica Adventitia

arterioles, capillaries, and venules in the adventitia and outer part of the media

Vaso Vasorum

required to provide metabolites to cells in those tunics in larger vessels because the wall is too thick to be nourished solely by diffusion from the blood in the lumen

Vaso Vasorum

Nerve supply of blood vessels For the constriction and dilatation of blood vessels

Nervi-Vasorum

Blood away from the heart; toward the organ and tissues

Arteries

Thickest coat of Arteries is the

Tunica Media

Types of arteries

-Large Arteries


-Medium-sized Arteries


-Small Arteries

Large Arteries are also known as

-Conducting Arteries


-Elastic Arteries


Arteries that conducts blood from heart to different organs

Large arteries

Arteries that is made up of fenestrated elastic membranes

Elastic Arteries

Largest artery

Aorta

Medium-sized Arteries are also known as

-Muscular Arteries


-Distributing Arteries

Type of arteries that has large amount of muscle in Tunica media

Medium-sized Arteries

Type of arteries that distributes blood to different organs

Medium-sized arteries

Arteries that is inside the target organs

Small Arteries

Similar to medium-sized arteries but the internal elastic membrane is not prominent

Small Arteries

Difference between medium sized artery and small artery

The internal Elastic membrane are not prominent in small artery

Average diameter of small artery is

300 um

Average diameter of arterioles

100 um

Transition from an arteriole to a capillary

Precapillary

Average diameter of precapillary

50um

Other term for precapillaries

Metaarterioles

thickening of tunica intima (damaged or dysfunctional endothelial cells) of arteries

Atherosclerosis

deposition of liquid and fibrous material in the arteries

Atherosclerosis

The plaque of the arteries are called

Atheroma

scarring/calcification of walls of the artery

Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is mainly associated with what arteries

-Elastic Artery


-Coronary Artery

Thin walled tubes connecting the arterial and venous side of the circulation

Capillaries

Average diameter of capillaries

7-9 um

Anastomosing channels of small caliber providing interchange of substances

Capillaries

The walls of the capillaries are composed of

-Single layer of endothelial cells


-Thin adventitia with connective fibers


Types of capillaries

-Continuous Capillary


-Fenestrated Capillary


-Sinusoidal Capillary


-Sinuses

Capillaries that are found in muscle tissues, nervous tissue, and connective tissues

Continuous Capillaries

Capillaries are what percent of all the blood vessels in the body

90%

Length of capillaries

96000 km

The Endothelium forms a thin uninterrupted layer around the circumference of the Capillary and itLack pores in the wall

Continuous Capillary

Types of fenestrated capillary

-Fenestrated Capillary with diaphragm


-Fenestrated without diaphragm


-Fenestrated Sinusoidal capillary

Endothelium is composed of pores of 80-100um closed by very thin porous diaphragm

Fenestrated Capillary with Diaphragm

Capillaries that are Found in the pancreas, GI tract, choroid plexus, and ciliary body of the eye

Fenestrated Capillary with diaphragm

Capillaries that Pores are not closed

Fenestrated without diaphragm

Fenestrated without diaphragm capillaries are found in the

Renal Glomeruli

Capillaries that lacks in diaphragm but has a wider lumen and Larger fenestrae/larger pores
