types of blood vessels arteries, veins, capillaries
Arteries carry blood away from the heart
Veins carry blood to the heart
, capillaries Connect smallest arteries to smallest veins to create
a circuit
Tunica Interna lines blood vessel; endothelium
Tunica Media middle layer consisting of smooth muscle, collagen,
and elastic tissue; Strengthens vessels and prevents
blood pressure from rupturing
Tunica Externa Outermost layer consisting of loose connective
tissue that often merges with that of neighboring
blood vessels, nerves, or other organs
Vasa Vasorum small vessels that supply blood to outer part of the
larger vessels
types of arteries elastic, muscular, arterioles
Elastic arteries large arteries that act as pressure reservoir to keep
blood flowing during diastole
Muscular Arteries distribute blood to specific organs; brachial, femoral,
renal
Arterioles smooth muscle of tunica media used to direct blood
throughout capillary beds of body
Aneurysms an excessive localized enlargement of an artery
caused by a weakening of the artery wall
Carotid Sinuses baroreceptors that monitor blood pressure
Carotid Bodies chemoreceptors that respond to change in blood
chemistry
Continuous capillaries least permeable and most common cappilaries;
wrapped by paricytes
