    Chapter 19: The Cardiovascular System: Blood Vessels: Key Terms

    Uploaded by

    JAGDEV PANESAR
    The document outlines key concepts about the cardiovascular system including blood vessels and blood pressure regulation. It describes the structure and function of arteries, veins and capillaries. It also discusses several factors that determine blood pressure and flow, such as peripheral resistance, cardiac output, blood volume, and hormones. Furthermore, the document explains mechanisms that help maintain normal blood pressure including the baroreceptor reflex and renal control systems.

    Chapter 19: The Cardiovascular System: Blood Vessels

    The student should be able to:


    1. Describe the structure and general function of the major types of blood vessels.
    2. List and discuss the factors that determine peripheral resistance and arterial blood
    pressure. Describe the relationship between blood flow, blood pressure, and peripheral
    resistance.
    3. Describe the forces responsible for the return of venous blood to the heart.
    4. Discuss the roles of each of the following in the regulation of blood pressure:
    peripheral resistance, cardiac output, blood volume, baroreceptors, vasomotor centre,
    adrenal medullary hormones, ANP, ADH, and angiotensin II.
    5. Discuss the baroreceptor reflex in detail. Describe the location of all of the effectors
    for this reflex and, for each effector, explain exactly HOW this effector would help
    to return an increased or decreased blood pressure back to normal.
    6. Describe the direct and indirect (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone) mechanisms for renal
    control of blood pressure.
    7. Describe the metabolic and myogenic mechanisms of autoregulation of blood flow.
    Compare the autoregulation of blood flow through the tissues of the skeletal muscles,
    brain, skin, lungs, and heart.
    8. List the different mechanism and routes molecules can take for exchange across
    capillary walls. Contrast the purpose of this exchange with the purpose of bulk flow of
    fluid across capillaries. List and describe the forces involved in bulk flow across
    capillaries.
    9. Compare and contrast pulmonary and systemic circulation. (See Table 19.3)
    10. Do the following Review Questions at the end of Chapter 19: 1 – 10, 11 (parts 1, 2, and
    5), 12 - 24.

    Key Terms:
    lumen, tunica intima, endothelium, tunica media, vasomotor nerve fibers, vasoconstriction,
    vasodilation, tunica externa, arteries, elastic (conducting) arteries, muscular (distributing)
    arteries, arterioles, capillaries, continuous capillaries, fenestrated capillaries, sinusoid
    capillaries (sinusoids), capillary beds, thoroughfare channel, precapillary sphincter, venules,
    veins, venous valves, varicose veins, venous sinuses, vascular anastomoses, collateral
    channels
    blood flow, blood pressure (BP), peripheral resistance (PR), viscosity, laminar flow, systolic
    pressure, diastolic pressure, pulse pressure, mean arterial pressure (MAP)

    vasomotor center, cardiovascular center, carotid sinus and aortic baroreceptors,


    baroreceptor reflex, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), antidiuretic hormone (ADH,
    vasopressin), angiotensin II, direct renal mechanism, indirect (renin-angiotensin-
    aldosterone) renal mechanism, renin, angiotensinogen, angiotensin I, angiotensin converting
    enzyme (ACE), aldosterone, hypotension, hypertension
