Types of Blood Vessels Arteries travel away from the heart
Arterioles are smallest arteries Capillaries are smallest vessels one red blood cell wide thin walls so oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water can move in or out of vessels Veins return to the heart Venules are the smallest veins

Fig. 23.1 Walls of a Blood Vessel
Artery Vein Arteries and veins have 3 tunics (layers) Tunica intima is inner layer endothelium (simple squamous) areolar connective tissue in muscular arteries, includes internal elastic lamina Tunica intima Endothelium Valves Subendothelial layer Internal elastic lamina Tunica media Tunica externa Vasa vasorum

Vein Artery Tunica media layers of smooth muscle in muscular arteries, includes external elastic lamina Valves Tunica media External elastic lamina

Artery Tunica media in arteries thickest layer; mostly smooth muscle enables vasoconstriction and vasodilation Lumen Tunica media External elastic lamina

Tunica externa areolar connective tissue with elastic and collagen fibers anchors vessel to other structures includes vasa vasorum, blood supply for very large blood vessels thickest layer in veins Artery Vein Tunica intima Tunica media Tunica externa Vasa vasorum

Arteries lumen is narrow lots of elastic and collagen fibers in tunics stay open; withstand changes in blood pressure Veins lumen is wide valves within lumen prevent blood flow in wrong direction Tunica intima Endothelium Subendothelial layer Valves Internal elastic lamina Tunica media External elastic lamina Tunica externa Vasa vasorum Lumen Capillary bed Lumen Artery Lumen Vein Endothelium Basement membrane Capillary

Artery Vein Capillaries connect arteries and veins only have tunica interna thin walls enable gas exchange Capillary bed Lumen Endothelium Basement membrane Capillary

Types of Arteries Elastic arteries Ascending aorta
Fig. 23.3 Types of Arteries Ascending aorta Pulmonary trunk (artery) Elastic arteries largest AKA conducting arteries— conduct blood from heart to smaller arteries ex. aorta, pulmonary, brachiocephalic, common carotid, subclavian, common iliac arteries Arteries Elastic artery Tunica intima Tunica media Tunica externa Descending aorta

Types of Arteries Elastic arteries Lumen Tunica intima
Fig. 23.3 Types of Arteries Lumen Tunica intima Elastic arteries very thick tunica media with elastic fibers throughout elastic fibers enable stretching during ventricular contraction, return to original shape Tunica media Elastic fibers throughout tunica media Tunica externa LM 100x 23.4 (a) Elastic artery

Types of Arteries Muscular arteries Muscular artery Tunica intima
Fig. 23.3 Types of Arteries Muscular artery Tunica intima Internal elastic lamina Tunica media External elastic lamina Tunica externa Muscular arteries AKA distributing arteries—distribute blood to body organs and tissues most named arteries, ex. brachial, anterior tibial, coronary, inferior mesentery

Types of Arteries Muscular arteries Tunica intima
Fig. 23.3 Tunica intima Types of Arteries Internal elastic lamina Muscular arteries shape confined by internal elastic lamina (around tunica intima) and external elastic lamina (around tunica media) less ability to stretch; more ability to vasoconstrict and vasodilate Lumen Tunica media External elastic lamina Tunica externa LM 100x 23.4 (b) Muscular artery

Types of Arteries Arterioles Arteriole Tunica intima Tunica media
Fig. 23.3 Types of Arteries Arteriole Tunica intima Tunica media Tunica externa Arterioles smallest larger arterioles have 3 tunics; small arterioles have endothelium and one layer of smooth muscle

Types of Arteries Arterioles Tunica media with few layers of smooth
Fig. 23.3 Types of Arteries Tunica media with few layers of smooth muscle Arterioles <6 layers of smooth muscle vasoconstriction increases blood pressure, decreases blood flow to capillaries Lumen LM 220x 23.4 (c) Arteriole

Capillaries Connect arterioles to venules
Fig. 23.3 Capillaries Connect arterioles to venules usually 1 mm long, 8-10 micometers wide diameter of one red blood cell erythrocytes must pass through one at a time Basement membrane Endothelium Capillary

Capillaries Basement membrane and endothelium only
Fig. 23.3 Capillaries Basement membrane and endothelium only gases and nutrients diffuse easily across capillary wall into extracellular fluid gases then move from ECF to cells

Capillary beds True capillaries Arterial end Venous end
Fig. 23.5 Capillary beds True capillaries Arterial end Venous end Metarteriole flows into capillary bed, venule flows out White blood cells travel through metarteriole, bypass capillaries Endothelium Endothelium Smooth muscle cells Thoroughfare channel Metarteriole Postcapillary venule Arteriole Relaxed precapillary sphincters (a) Sphincters relaxed; capillary bed well perfused

Fig. 23.5 (b) Sphincters contracted; blood bypasses capillary bed Contracted precapillary sphincters Capillary beds Precapillary sphincter is circle of smooth muscle around proximal end of capillary can cut off blood flow cycle on and off to meet tissue’s nutrient need

Types of capillaries Continuous capillary most common
Fig. 23.6 Types of capillaries Continuous capillary most common continuous lining of endothelial cells materials pass through by diffusion or pinocytosis found in muscle, skin, lungs Basement membrane Pinocytotic vesicles Erythrocyte Lumen Nucleus of endothelial cell (a) Continuous capillary

Types of capillaries Fenestrated capillary
Fig. 23.6 Types of capillaries Fenestrated capillary have pores (fenestrations) in each endothelial cell enable lots of fluid transport between blood and interstitial tissue found in small intestine, endocrine glands, kidney Basement membrane Fenestrations Erythrocyte Lumen (b) Fenestrated capillary

Skeletal muscle pump To heart Increased pressure
Fig. 23.7 To heart Skeletal muscle pump Increased pressure opens valve Contraction of muscles squeezes veins, forcing blood through Works more efficiently when a person is active When a person is inactive, blood may pool in lower extremities Contracted skeletal muscles Valve closed (to prevent blood backflow) Blood flow from tissues Vein

Fig. 23.7 Respiratory pump Respiratory pump Thoracic cavity Abdominopelvic cavity contraction of diaphragm compresses abdominal cavity, squeezes vessels, pushes blood through relaxation of diaphragm decreases pressure in abdominal cavity, draws blood into vessels of abdomen Inhalation Increases blood flow into thoracic veins Exhalation Increases blood flow into heart and abdominal veins Decreased intrathoracic pressure Increased intrathoracic pressure Diaphragm contracts Diaphragm relaxes Blood moves superiorly Compression Release of compression Decreased intra-abdominal pressure Increased intra-abdominal pressure (b)

Blood in narrowed lumen
Page 706 Blood in narrowed lumen Atherosclerosis Affects elastic and muscular arteries Tunica intima thickens; lumen narrows Causes: injury to tunica intima: infection, trauma, or hypertension injury attracts white blood cells and immune response cholesterol proteins (LDL and VLDL) enter tunica intima, stick to vessel wall other cells attracted, create foam cells, which develop into plaques Atheroma occluding lumen Lumen LM 20x LM 50x Normal artery Atherosclerotic artery

Treatment: angioplasty
Page 706 Catheter Atheroma Artery Treatment: angioplasty Stent inserted into artery and expanded Stent compresses plaques, becomes new wall of artery, expanding artery 1 An uninflated balloon and compressed stent are passed through a catheter to the area of the artery that is obstructed. Stent Balloon 2 Balloon inflates, which expands the stent and inserts it in place and also compresses the atheroma. 3 The stent remains in the vessel as the balloon is deflated and the catheter is withdrawn.

Aneurysm Localized, abnormal dilation of blood vessel
Page 713 Aneurysm Localized, abnormal dilation of blood vessel May be caused by atherosclerosis Felt as pulsating mass if in abdominal aorta Visualized by x-ray or ultrasound If ruptures, rarely survived Abdominal aneurysm
