Venous origins Drag each label to the appropriate position to identify whether the given vessel empties directly into the vena cavae or into another (other) named vessel. Vena cavae
- Azygos veins - Lumbar veins - Hepatic - Renal - Left brachiocephalic
Blood Flow Indicate whether the given condition would increase or decrease blood flow with all other factors being equal. decrease flow
- Increasing blood viscosity - Increasing red blood cell count - Erythropoietin hyper secretion (or injection) - Increased resistance - Increasing vessel length - Dehydration - Vasoconstriction
Blood Flow Indicate whether the given condition would increase or decrease blood flow with all other factors being equal. increase flow
- Increasing vessel radius - increasing blood pressure - increasing blood velocity - Aldosterone hyper secretion
Arterial origins Drag each label to the appropriate position to identify whether the given vessel directly arises from the aorta or from another (other) named vessel. Other
- Internal iliac - Jejunal - Pancreatic - Right subclavian - Sigmoid - Common hepatic - Splenic - Left axillary
Arterial origins Drag each label to the appropriate position to identify whether the given vessel directly arises from the aorta or from another (other) named vessel. Aorta
- Left common carotid - Esophageal - Superior mesenteric - Gonadal - Bronchial - Celiac trunk - Lumbar - Renal
Artery and vein functions Drag each label into the appropriate position to identify whether the characteristic is indicative of arteries or veins. Veins
- Loosely referred to as "capacitance vessels" - Usually denoted in blue - Collapsed when empty - Contain the majority of blood at any one time - Provide for the relatively consistent velocity of blood flow - Rely on the respiratory and skeletal muscular pumps to propel blood
Artery and vein functions Drag each label into the appropriate position to identify whether the characteristic is indicative of arteries or veins. Arteries
- Loosely termed "resistance vessels" - Usually carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body - Exhibit greater ability to alter vessel diameter - Loosely termed "pressure reservoirs" - Pulsatile flow of blood
Artery and vein anatomy Drage each label into the appropriate position to identify whether the characteristic is indicative of arteries or veins. Veins
- Marked by a comparatively larger circumference - Contain valves - Superficial locations - Marked by convergence - Marked by comparatively larger lumen - Sites used for blood donation
Artery and vein anatomy Drage each label into the appropriate position to identify whether the characteristic is indicative of arteries or veins Arteries
- Marked by divergence - Profuse elastic fibers in the tunica media - Thicker layers of smooth muscle - Marked by relatively thicker walls - Higher wall-to-lumen ratio
Venous origins Drag each label to the appropriate position to identify whether the given vessel empties directly into the vena cavae or into another (other) named vessel. Other
- Posterior intercostal veins - Superior mesenteric - Gastric - Gastro-omental - Femoral - Axial - Cystic
