Exercise 21 Blood Vessels & Circulation Portland Community College BI 232
Blood vessels • Conduits that carry oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove wastes • Arteries transport blood away from the heart. • Deliver blood to capillary beds where gas and nutrient exchange occurs. • Veins transport blood toward the heart.
General Circulatory Patterns • Two main circuits: • Pulmonary circulation: Blood goes from the heart to the lungs and returns to the heart. The pulmonary trunk and its branches; leave the right ventricle of the heart and contain deoxygenated blood. • Systemic Circulation: Blood goes from the heart to rest of the body. The aorta and its branches; leave the left ventricle of the heart and contain oxygenated blood.
Artery and VeinHistology • Walls have 3 layers: • Tunica intima • Tunica media • Tunica externa
Tunica Intima • Is the innermost layer near the lumen • Includes: • The endothelial lining • Connective tissue layer • Internal Elastic Membrane: In arteries, is a thick layer of elastic fibers in the outer margin of the tunica intima
Tunica Media • Is the middle layer • Contains concentric sheets of smooth muscle in loose connective tissue • Binds to inner and outer layers
Tunica Externa (aka: Tunica Adventitia) • Is outer layer • Contains connective tissue sheath • Anchors vessel to adjacent tissues • In arteries: • Contain collagen • Elastic fibers • In veins: • Contain elastic fibers • Smooth muscle cells
Elastic Arteries • Also called conducting arteries, these are the largest arteries • Tunica media has many elastic fibers and few muscle cells • Elasticity evens out pulse force • Examples: • Pulmonary trunk • Aorta • Common carotid arteries • Subclavian arteries • Common iliac arteries
Aorta n = smooth muscle cell TA = tunica adventitia el = elastic fibers end = endothelial cells TI = tunica intimaTM = tunica media
Vasa Vasorum • “Vessels of Vessels” • Small arteries and veins in the walls of large arteries and veins • Supply cells of tunica media and tunica externa Vasa Vasorum Aorta
Muscular Arteries • Also called distribution arteries, are medium-sized (most arteries) • Tunica media has many muscle cells • Examples: • External carotid arteries • Brachial arteries • Femoral arteries
Arterioles • The smallest branches of arteries • Feed into capillaries • Have little or no tunica externa • Have thin or incomplete tunica media
Arteriole end = endothelial cell nucleusn = smooth muscle nucleusrbc = red blood cells end = endothelial cell nucleusn = smooth muscle nucleusrbc = red blood cells
Capillaries • The smallest vessels • Structure: Simple squamous epithelium tube • Lumen side has a thin basal lamina • No tunica media, No tunica externa • Location of exchange between blood and interstitial fluid. • Gasses and chemicals diffuse across their walls
Veins • Carry blood to the heart • Are larger in diameter than arteries • Have thinner walls • Contain valves • Folds of tunica intima that prevent blood from flowing backward • Venules: The smallest veins that carry blood away from the capillaries
Veins • Medium-sized veins: • Thin tunica media and few smooth muscle cells • Tunica externa with longitudinal bundles of elastic fibers • Large veins: • Have all 3 tunica layers • Thick tunica externa • Thin tunica media • Example: Inferior and Superior vena cava
Venous Valve in Medium Vein ad = adipose tissueTA = tunica adventitiaTM = tunica mediav = valve
Arteries Vs. Veins • Arteries and veins run side-by-side • Arteries have thicker walls and higher blood pressure • Collapsed artery has small, round lumen • Vein has a large, flat lumen

Hepatic Portal Circulation • Veins that flow into the liver before returning to the heart • Blood from digestive organs and spleen travel to capillaries of the liver. • The liver processes the blood before sending it through the hepatic vein. • Blood then travels to the inferior Vena Cava
