anastomosis Correct Answers union of the branches of two or
more arteries supplying the same region
anastomotic veins Correct Answers venous channels
angiogenesis Correct Answers growth of new blood vessels
aortic reflex Correct Answers regulates systemic blood pressure
arteries Correct Answers carry blood away from the heart
arterioles Correct Answers smaller arteries that regulate the
flow of blood into capillary networks
autoregulation Correct Answers the ability of tissue to
automatically adjust its blood flow to match its metabolic
demands
baroreceptors Correct Answers monitor changes in pressure and
stretch in the walls of blood vessels; located in the aorta, internal
carotid arteries and arteries in the neck and chest
