The primary function of large blood vessels ie arteries and veins is the transport of blood to and from the heart whereas smaller blood vessels eg capillaries enable substance exchange between the cells and blood. Arrange the structures in the following list in the order that blood will encounter as it flows from the output side to the input side of the cardiovascular flow circuit.
The blood from the heart is carried through the body by a complex network of blood vessels see the figure below.
Arteries arterioles capillaries venules veins. Blood leaves the capillary and enters the small venules. These venules become progressively larger vessels called veins. The vena cava are the two largest veins that carry blood into the right upper chamber of the heart the right atrium.
The superior vena cava carries blood from the brain and arms into the top of the right atrium. Blood pumped by the heart flows through a series of vessels known as arteries arterioles capillaries venules and veins before returning to the heart. Arteries transport blood away from the heart and branch into smaller vessels forming arterioles.
Arterioles distribute blood to capillary beds the sites of exchange with the body tissues. There are three basic types of blood vessels. Arteries capillaries and veins.
They form a closed system of tubes that carry blood from the heart to the tissue cells and back to the heart. It splits into Arteries these split into smaller arterioles then even smaller capillaries. After the Erythrocytes red blood cells have done their work exchanging O2 for CO2 the process reverses.
From the capillaries into the venules then into the larger the veins and ultimately back to the heart. Via the Superior Vena Cava and the. After leaving the capillaries the blood enters a network of small venules which feed into veins.
These in turn carry the blood back to the atria of the heart. Like arteries the walls of veins are lined with epithelium and contain smooth muscle. The walls of veins are thinner and less elastic than arteries but they are also more flexible.
Blood vessels consist of arteries arterioles capillaries venules and veins. Vessel networks deliver blood to all tissues in a directed and regulated manner. Arteries and veins are composed of three tissue layers.
The thick outermost layer of a vessel tunica adventitia or tunica externa is made of connective tissue. Arterial and venous systems arteries arterioles venules veins Blood vessels include arteries capillaries and veins which are responsible for transporting blood throughout the body. The structure of the different types of blood vessels reflects their function or layers.
Arterioles are smaller arteries. Veins return blood back to the heart. Venules smaller veins.
Capillaries- smaller blood vessels that link arteries and veins together. The heart as already well known is the pump of the system that sends out blood in arteries as arteries carry blood away from the heart. The capillaries empty into small veins known as venules.
In some areas there are direct connectionsbetween arterioles and venules. This is referred to as arteriovenous anastomoses AV anastomoses or shunts. Such anastomoses allow blood to.
Arterioles reduce the flow of blood from the large arteries which is an important step to prevent damage to the next set of tiny blood vessels called capillaries into which the blood from arterioles flows. Just to put this in perspective the aorta has a maximum diameter of roughly 25mm and this branches into smaller arteries that have a. Arteries Veins and Capillaries.
The blood from the heart is carried through the body by a complex network of blood vessels see the figure below. Arteries take blood away from the heart. The main artery is the aorta that branches into major arteries that take blood to different limbs and organs.
These major arteries include the carotid artery. Veins have thinner walls because the pressure in them is less. They are on the downhill side of the system.
Capillaries which are the linking vessels between the arteriesarterioles and the venulesveins must have very thin walls so that oxygen and carbon dioxide glucose and other molecules can diffuse from bloodstream to tissue and back. Collect blood from capillaries. Return blood to the heart.
From heart to capillaries arteries change from __________ arteries to ___________ arteries to ______________. Elastic arteries muscular arteries Arterioles. Blood vessels are found throughout the body.
There are five main types of blood vessels. Arteries arterioles capillaries venules and veins. Arteries carry blood away from the heart to other organs.
They can vary in size. The largest arteries have special elastic fibres in their walls. The five types of blood vessels are in order of circulation.
Arteries arterioles capillaries venules and veins. The primary function of large blood vessels ie arteries and veins is the transport of blood to and from the heart whereas smaller blood vessels eg capillaries enable substance exchange between the cells and blood. Blood pumped by the heart flows through a series of vessels known as arteries arterioles capillaries venules and veins before returning to the heart.
Arteries transport blood away from the heart and branch into smaller vessels forming arterioles. Arterioles distribute blood to capillary beds the sites of exchange with the body tissues. Arteries arterioles venules and veins are composed of three tunics known as the tunica intima tunica media and tunica externa.
Capillaries have only a tunica intima layer. The tunica intima is a thin layer composed of a simple squamous epithelium known as endothelium and a small amount of connective tissue. The coronary system is comprised of arteries arterioles capillaries and cardiac veins and venules.
The coronary arteries originate with right and left main coronary arteries which exit the ascending aorta just above the aortic valve. These two branches subdivide and course over the surface of the heart epicardium as they traverse away from. Arrange the structures in the following list in the order that blood will encounter as it flows from the output side to the input side of the cardiovascular flow circuit.

An artery carries blood away from the heart and distribute throughout the body by its succeeding smaller branches. Eventually the smallest branch of the artery is called arterioles which further divide into tiny vessels to form the capillary bed. E arteries arterioles capillary beds venules veins.
Blood pumped by the heart flows through a series of vessels known as arteries arterioles capillaries venules and veins before returning to the heart. Arteries transport blood away from the heart and branch into smaller vessels forming arterioles. Veins and Venules.
Veins are the large return vessels of the body and act as the blood return counterparts of arteries. Because the arteries arterioles and capillaries absorb most of the force of the hearts contractions veins and venules are subjected to very low blood pressures.
