ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY QUESTIONS || 100%
CORRECT ANSWERS || 2025 STUDY GUIDE
Blood vessels are dynamic structures that...
Pulsate.
Constrict.
Relax.
Proliferate.
Blood vessels
of the body form a closed delivery system that begins and ends at the heart.
The inner most tunic of the blood vessel
tunica intima. contains endothelium.
The middle tunic of the blood vessel
tunica media. Smooth muscle and sheets of elastin. Bulkiest layer. Regulation of vasoconstriction
and vasodilation.
The middle tunic regulates
circulatory dynamics because the change in vessel diameter effects blood flow and pressure.
The outermost layer of the blood vessel
,tunica externa.
composed of largely loosely woven collagen fibers to anchor it to surroundings.
most superficial tunic
tunica externa
the arterial system has one of these; the venous system has two
brachiocephalic
these arteries supply the myocardium
coronary
two paired arteries serving the brain
internal carotid, vertebral
longest vein in the lower limb
greater saphenous
artery on the dorsum of the foot checked after leg surgery
dorsalis pedis
serves the posterior thigh
deep femoral
supplies the diaphragm
phrenic
formed by the union of the radial and ulnar veins
,brachial
two superficial veins of the arm
basilic, cephalic
artery serving the kidney
renal
veins draining the liver
hepatic
artery that supplies the distal half of the large intestine
inferior mesenteri
drains the pelvic organs
internal iliac
what the external iliac artery becomes on entry into the thigh
femoral
major artery serving the arm
brachial
supplies most of the small intestine
superior mesenteric
join to form the inferior vena cava
, common iliac
an arterial trunk that has three major branches, which run to the liver, spleen and stomach
celiac trunk
major artery serving the tissues external to the skull
external carotid
three veins serving the leg
anterior tibial, fibular, posterior tibial
artery generally used to take the pulse at the wrist
radial
describe continuous capillaries
abundant in the skin and skeletal muscles
Which of the following describes blood vessels?
arterial walls are generally thicker and contain more elastic tissue than those of veins
Where sinusoidal capillaries are most abundant?
lobes of the liver
modified capillary lined with phagocytes?
sinusoid
capillary bed when the precapillary sphincters are closed?
