Answer: tunica media

QUESTION: Name the blood vessel layers from the outermost layer to the innermost layer.
ANSWER: Tunica externa, tunica media, tunica intema

6. A-400
QUESTION: The layer in the wall of blood vessels that is made up of simple squamous epithelium
ANSWER: tunica intima

7. A-500
QUESTION: How are veins different than arteries (at least 3 things)?
ANSWER: Arteries have a smaller lumen and a thicker tunica media because there is more smooth muscle and an elastic lamina to help the arteries expand and recoil. Veins have a larger lumen and valves to prevent the backflow of blood. They also use skeletal muscles to pump blood.

12. B-500 GROUP HUG!!!! (Do you remember that from last year???)
QUESTION: Describe why fluid from blood leaks out of a capillary at the arteriole end and much of this fluid is reabsorbed at the venule end.
ANSWER: At the arteriole end the blood pressure on the inside of capillary is greater than the osmotic pressure on the outside of the capillary so fluid is forced out of the capillary through small gaps and fenstrations. At the venule end of the capillary the the osmotic pressure on the outside is greater than the blood pressure on the inside so fluid is forced back into the capillary.

13. C-100
QUESTION: What are the two most common pressure points used to check a person’s pulse?

ANSWER: Umbilical Vein

20. D-300
QUESTION: In the fetus, this flap-like opening between the right atrium and left atrium keeps blood from entering the fetal lungs.
ANSWER: Foramen Ovale

21. D-400
QUESTION: This vessel connects the pulmonary trunk to the aorta and acts as a secondary measure to keep blood out of the fetal lungs.
ANSWER: Ductus Arteriosus

22. D-500
QUESTION: This special vessel causes blood to by-pass the fetus liver
ANSWER: Ductus Venosus

27. E-500 QUESTION: This artery carries blood to the kidneys
ANSWER: Renal Artery

28. FINAL JEOPARDY Topic – Blood Pressure
Question: List the 6 major steps in taking a person’s
blood pressure. Be descriptive.
Answer: 1) Place the blood pressure cuff around the person’s arm above the elbow (Biceps area)
2) Close the valve and pump up the cuff to about 180 mm hg of pressure so that the person’s blood flow is cut off.
3) Place the stethoscope on the brachial artery just above the elbow joint.
4) Slowly open the valve and let the air out while watching the needle.
5) Remember the number when you hear the first noise (systolic) and remember the number when the noise stops (diastolic).
6) Write the systolic over the diastolic
