Control of blood flow is primarily mediated byveinscapillariesarterioles arteries
Explain the importance/function for each of thefollowing:a. High elastic fiber content in the aortab. Smooth muscle in the arteriolesc. Extensive capillaries in the liver and lungsd. Valves in the leg veins
All the blood that passes through the aorta, except the blood that flowsinto the coronary vessels, returns to the heart through the venae cavae.(Hint: The diameter of the aorta is 26 mm, and the diameter of avena cava is 32 mm.) Explain why the resistance to blood flow in theaorta is greater than the resistance to blood flow in the venae cavae.Because the resistances are different, explain why blood flow can bethe same.
Plasma solutes enter the tissue fluid most neasily froma. continuous capillaries.b. fenestrated capillaries.c. arteriovenous anastomoses.d. collateral vessels.e. venous anastomoses.
Blood vessel structure and functionThe two-way exchange of substances between blood and the body occurs through what vessels?Why do the above vessels permit the diffusion of materials whereas arteries and veins do not (what is it about their structure that matches their function)?Why are valves located in veins, but not arteries?
What areas of the body are supplied by the paired arteriesthat branch from the abdominal aorta? The unpairedarteries? Name the three major unpaired arteries
Capillary ExchangeBlood flowing through a capillary bed experiences the following pressures:- Blood pressure in the capillary is 45 at the arterial end of the capillary- Blood pressure in the capillary is 15 at the venous end of the capillary- Blood osmotic pressure is 27mm at both the arterial and venous ends of the capillaryDoes water leave the capillary or enter the capillary at the arteriole end? Explain why in terms of blood pressure and osmotic pressure.Does water leave the capillary or enter the capillary at the venous end? Explain why in terms of blood pressure and osmotic pressure.
When considered individually, the type of blood vessel that has the lowestresistance is.A)arterioleB)capillaryC)venuleD)vena cava
The delivery of blood by the left ventricle into the sorta is intermittent, whereas blood flow in the peripheral circulation is usually continuous. Which of the following best explains this difference? A. Arteries contain more elastic tissue than veins . B Capillary walls contain little elastic or muscular tissue . C. Continuous flow is needed to meet metabolic requirements. D. Passive recoil of the arteries delivers blood to the periphery during diastole E . Rhythmic contractions of arterial smooth muscie increase the diastolic pressure to above zero
Briefly describe and compare sinusoids and fenestrated capillaries with continuous capillaries. Give one specific organ where you would find these types of capillaries and describe their role in the organs in which they are present. -Sinusoids: -Fenestrated capillaries:
