Orofacial SEM II FINAL REVIEW Based on Teacher Review
1. the subclavian artery gives off branches that supply both intracranial and
extracranial structures, but its major destination is the ans
upper extremity (arm)
2. the head, neck, and body consists of an arterial blood supply, a capillary
network, and venous drainage. What are these structures part of which sys-
tem? ans the vascular system
3. a large network of blood vessels within the vascular system is known as
a? ans vascular plexus
4. these 2 structures contain certain important venous plexuses. ans head
and neck
5. blood vessels also communicate with each other within the vascular system
by which process? ans anastomosis (anastomoses - plural)
6. an artery is part of the arterial blood supply that begins at the and
carries blood from it ans heart
away
7. an artery starts as a large diameter vessel and branches into smaller diam-
eter vessels known as an? ans arteriole
8. each arteriole branches into smaller diameter vessels until it becomes
a? ans network of capillaries
9. the smaller diameter arteries and arterioles control the filling of the capillar-
ies and directly contribute to the in the vascular systemans
arterial pressure
10. capillaries or arteriole ans which one can supply blood to a larger tissue
area because there are so many of them as part of an overall network? ans
capillary

gen, metabolic waste products, and carbon dioxide between blood and tissue
cells. ans capillary network
12. a vein is part of the that drains blood from an area. ans
venous drainage
13. a vein travels to the and carries blood to it ans heart
14. veins however are much larger and more numerous than arteries. true or
false? ans true
15. the veins of the head do not contain 1 way valves. true or false? ans most
veins of the face, but not all HAVE VALVES
16. veins have valves to prevent? ans blood from flowing backwards and pooling
17. arteries pump blood at higher pressures, which naturally prevents back-
flow. true or false? ans true
18. superficial veins are found? ans immediately deep to the skin
, Orofacial SEM II FINAL REVIEW Based on Teacher Review
19. usually accompany larger arteries in a more protected location
within the tissue ans deep veins
20. blood filled spaces between 2 layers of tissue is known as? ans venous
sinuses
21. the pathway of venous blood vessels mainly parallels to those of the
lymphatic vessels. true or false? ans true
22. blood vessels parallel to those of the lymphatic vessels may also spread
cancer from a neoplasm to distant sites with metastasis and at a faster rate
than lymphatic vessels. true or false? ans true (2): common
23. the major arteries that supply the head and neck include the?
carotid
subclavian arteries
24. for the left side of the body, the common carotid and subclav ian arteries
begin directly from the? ans aorta
