CORRECT 100%
Identify the letter that indicates the layer common to all blood vessels regardless of their
size. - ANSWERA
Identify the letter that indicates a connective tissue layer consisting of longitudinal
collagen fibers. - ANSWERD
Identify the letter that indicates the blood vessel layer that is comprised of circular and
longitudinal smooth muscle. - ANSWERC
Identify the letter that indicates the common carotid arteries. - ANSWERC
Identify the letter that indicates the common iliac artery. - ANSWERA
Identify the letter that indicates the brachial artery. - ANSWERD
Identify the letter that indicates the longest vein in the body. - ANSWERE
Wide leaky capillaries found in bone marrow and spleen. - ANSWERsinusoids
Precapillary sphincters allow blood to leave this structure and enter true capillaries. -
ANSWERmetarterioles
Vessels of the small intestines, renal glomerulus, and synovial membranes that allow
passage of fluid and solutes through "windows" in the endothelium. -
ANSWERfenestrated capillaries
Microvasculature that provides nourishment to the outer walls of the aorta. -
ANSWERvasa vasorum
The hepatic portal system has two distinct capillary beds separated by a portal vein.
What are the functions of these two capillary beds? - ANSWERThe first picks up
digested nutrients, and the second delivers these nutrients to liver cells.
The pulse of the facial artery is palpated - ANSWERanterior to the masseter muscle at
the inferior margin of the mandible.
The internal carotid artery branches to form the - ANSWERAnterior Cerebral, Middle
Cerebral, and Ophthalmic Arteries
