19.19 name the 3 branches of the internal carotid artery

ophthalmic anterior cerebral middle cerebral arteries

19.9 explain the function of baroreceptor reflexes

respond to changes in blood pressure. Baroreceptors-located in the walls of the carotid sinuses and aortic arch- monitor the degree of stretch at those sites

19.1 which chamber of the heart receives blood from the systemic circuit?

right atrium

19.15 Trace a drop pf blood through the lungs, beginning at the right ventricle and ending at the left atrium

right ventricle pulmonary trunk right/left pulmonary arteries pulmonary arterioles alveoli pulmonary venules pulmonary veins left atrium

19.18 identify the branches of the external carotid artery

superficial, temporal, maxillary, occipital, facial, lingual, and external carotid arteries

19.16 name the 2 large veins that collect blood from the systemic circuit

superior vena cava inferior vena cava

19.7 in a healthy person, where is blood pressure greater: in the aorta or in the inferior vena cava?

the aorta (higher pressure in inferior vena cava= blood would flow in reverse direction)

19.6 explain the equation R oc 1/r^4

the equations states the resistance (R) is inversely proportional to the 4th power of the vessel radius (r). This means that a small change in vessel diameter results in a large change of resistance

19.16 besides containing valves, cite another major difference between the arterial and venous systems

the existence of dual (superficial and deep) venous drainage in the neck and limbs

19.9 describe auto-regulation as it relates to cardiovascular function

cardiovascular auto-regulation involves local factors changing the pattern of blood flow within capillary beds in response to chemical changes in interstitial fluid

19.18 name the arterial structure in the neck region that contains baroreceptors

carotid sinus

19.3 identify two types of capillaries with a complete endothelium

continuous capillaries and fenestrated capillaries

19.10 how does the kidney respond to vasoconstriction of the renal artery?

decreases both blood flow and blood pressure at the kidney. In response, the kidneys would release EPO and renin. EPO increases the reate of red blood cell formation which leads o an increase in blood volume. REnin leads to an increase in the level of angiotensin II. The angiotensin II would bring about increased blood pressure and increased blood volume

19.12 describe the changes in cardiac output and blood flow during exercise

during exercise, cardiac output increases and blood flow to the skeletal muscles increases at the expense of blood flow to less essential organs. Unless compensatory vasoconstriction occurs in "less essential" organs such as those of the digestive system, vasodilation in skeletal muscles would cause a potentially dangerous decrease in blood pressure and blood flow throughout the body during exercise

19.1 distinguish among efferent vessels, afferent vessels, and exchange vessels

efferent vessels (arteries): carry blood away from the heart afferent vessels (veins): carry blood to the heart exchange vessels: (capillaries): exchange nutrients, dissolved gases, and wastes between the blood and interstitial fluid

19.10 identify the hormones responsible for short term regulation of decreasing blood pressure and blood volume

epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal medulla

19.4 describe the distribution of total blood volume in the body

the systemic venous system and the systemic arterial system contain 64 and 13 % of the total blood volume. The remaining volume is contained in the heart (7%) pulmonary circulation (9%) and systemic capillaries (7%)

mechanism by which a reduction of pressure in the thoracic cavity during inhalation assists venous return to the heart

19.13 Name the immediate and long-term problems related to hemorrhage

-immediate short-term problem: maintain adequate blood pressure and peripheral blood flow -long term problem: restore normal blood volume

19.15 briefly describe general patterns of blood vessel organization

-the peripheral distributions of arteries and veins of the body's left and right sides are generally identical, except near the heart, where the largest vessels connect to the atria or ventricles -a single vessel may have several names as it crosses specific anatomical boundaries, making accurate anatomical descriptions possible -tissue and organs are usually serviced by several arteries and veins

19.3 At what sites in the body are fenestrated capillaries located?

-where solutes and as large as small peptides move freely in and out of the blood -these sites include endocrine glands, the choroid plexus of the brain, absoprtive areas of the intestine and filtration areas of the kidney.

19.13 describe circulatory shock, progressive shock and irreversible shock

-Circulatory shock: occurs when blood loss exceeds about 35% of the total blood volume. Involves a series of positive feedback loops that are initiated after homeostasis has been disrupted -Progressive shock: the next stge; is also a series of positive feedbacks loops that accelerate tissue damage -Irreversible shock: fatal stage that occurs if the positive feedback loops initiated during progressive shock are not broken

19.21 describe the function of the hepatic portal system and name its primary vessel

-function= carry blood with absorbed nutrients from the digestive organs to the liver for processing -primary vessel= hepatic portal vein

19.14 what is the function of hemangioblasts?

any condition that affects either blood pressure or osmotic pressure in the blood or tissues

19.16 identify the largest artery in the body

aorta

19.5 which is greater arterial pressure or venous pressure

arterial pressure because it must push blood a greater distance and through progressively smaller and thinner vessels

19.4 how is blood pressure maintained in veins to counter the force of gravity?

assisted by the presence of valves in the veins, which prevent backflow of blood, the contraction of the surrounding skeletal muscles squeezes venous blood toward the heart

19.9 define tissue perfusion

blood flow to tissues that is sufficient to deliver adequate oxygen and nutrients

19.17 a blockage of which branch of the aortic arch would interfere with blood flow to the left arm

left subclavian artery

19.20 identify major branches of the vena cava

lumbar gonadal hepatic renal adrenal phrenic veins

19.15 compare the oxygen content in the two circulatory circuits

-Pulmonary circuit=carries deoxygenated blood from he right ventricle to the lungs and returns oxygenated blood to the left atrium. -Systemic circuit= carries oxygenated blood to the organs/tissues of the body and returns deoxygenated blood to the right atrium

19.24 identify the 6 structures that are vital to fetal circulation but cease to function at birth and describe what becomes of these structures

2 umbilical arteries, one umbilical vein, the ductus venosus, the foramen ovale, and the ductus arteriosus. After birth, the foramen ovale closes and persists as the fossa ovalis, a shallow depression; the ductus arteriosus persists as the ligamentum arteriosum, a fibrous cord, and the umbilical vessels and ductus venosus persist throughout life as fibrous cords.

19.24 describe the pattern of fetal blood flow to and from the placenta

Deoxygenated blood flows from the fetus to the placenta through a pair of umbilical arteries and oxygenated blood returns from the placenta in a single umbilical vein. The umbilical vein then drains into the ductus venosus within the fetal liver.

19.11 what is the function of chemoreceptor reflexes?

Respond to decreasing pH and O2 levels and to increase CO2 levels in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid by adjusting cardiovascular centers to increase blood pressure through vasoconstriction and increased cardiac output and stimulate responses by the respiratory centers to increase respiratory rate which increases pH and oxygen levels and decreases CO2 levels.

19.19 describe the structure/function of the cerebral arterial circle

The cerebral arterial circle is a ring-shaped anastomosis that encircles the infundibulum of the pituitary gland. Its anatomical arrangement creates alternate pathways in the cerebral circulation, so that if blood flow is interrupted in one area, other blood vessels can continue to perfuse the entire brain with blood.

19.24 compare a ventricular septal defect with tetralogy of fallot

Ventricular septal defects are abnormal openings between the left and right ventricles. Tetralogy of fallot includes a ventricular septal defect plus three other heart defects; a narrowing of the pulmonary trunk, a displaced aorta, and an enlarged right ventricle with corresponding thickened right and left ventricles

19.2 List the five general classes of blood vessels.

arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins

19.8 define edema

abnormal accumulation of interstitial fluid in the peripheral tissues

19.14 what are blood islands and from which cells do they form?

aggregations of embryonic cells scattered within the yolk sac that from blood vessels and blood cells. During embryonic development, these islands give rise to hematopoietic stem cells and hemangioblasts

19.5 why is it beneficial for capillary pressure to be very low?

allows time for diffusion between the blood and the surrounding interstitial fluid

19.10 describe the roles of natriuretic peptides

excess stretching of the right atriu during diastole causes the release of atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP). Excessive stretching of the ventricles during diastole cuases the release of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). The roles of these peptides are to trigger responses whose combined effects act to decrease blood volume an dblood pressure. As blood volume and blood pressure decrease, natriuretic production ceases

19.17 whenever thor gets angry, a large vein bulges in the lateral region of his neck. which vein is this?

external jugular vein

19.18 identify the veins that combine to form the brachiocephalic vein

external jugular, internal jugular, vertebral and subclavian veins

19.5 Neural and endocrine regulatory mechanisms influence which factors?

heart rate, stroke volume, peripheral resistance, and venous pressure

19.11 where are chemoreceptors located?

in carotid bodies, aortic bodies and on ventrolateral surfaces of the medulla oblongata

19.4 why are valves located in veins but not arteries

in the arterial system, pressures are high enough to keep the blood moving away from the heart and through arteries and capillaries. In the venous system, blood pressure is too low to keep the blood moving back toward the heart. Valves in veins prevent blood from flowing backward whenever the venous pressure drops

19.7 define blood flow, and describe its relationship to blood pressure and peripheral resistance

the volume of blood flowing per unit of time through a vessel or group of vessels; it is directly proportional to arterial pressure (increased pressure results in increased blood flow) and inversely proportional to peripheral resistance (increased resistance results in decreased blood flow)

19.22 a blood clot that blocks the popliteal vein would interfere with blood flow in which other veins?

tibial/fibular (peroneal) veins (which form the popliteal vein) and the small saphenous vein (which joins popliteal vein)

19.1 Describe the pulmonary circuit

transports blood from the right ventricle through the pulmonary arteries, capillaries in the lungs and pulmonary veins and returns it to the left atrium

19.1 describe the systemic circuit

transports blood through the arteries, capillaries and veins of the body from the left ventricle to the right atrium. Blood returning to the heart from the systemic circuit must complete the pulmonary circuit before it re-enters the systemic circuit

19.7 calculate the mean arterial pressure for a person whose blood pressure is 125/70

using the formula MAP=diastolic pressure + pulse pressure/3. MAP= 70+ (125-70/3) whoch equals 70 + 18.3 or 88.3 mm Hg

19.4 what factors are involved in the formation of varicose veins?

varicose veins are sagging, swollen superficial veins in the thighs and legs. They result from the pooling of blood due to gravity and failure of venous valves

19.6 list the factors that contribute to total peripheral resistance

vascular resistance, vessel length, vessel luminar diameter, blood viscosity and turbulence

19.8 under what general conditions would fluid move into a capillary? (reabsorption)

whenever blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) is greater than capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP)

19.13 Identify the compensatory mechanisms that respond to blood loss

include an increase in cardiac output, a mobilization of venous blood reservoir, peripheral vasoconstriction and the release of hormones that promote the retention of fluids and the maturation of erythrocytes
