Apply your acquired knowledge of medical terms by successfully completing the Practical Application exercise. 255 Anatomy and Physiology The cardiovascular (CV) system, also called the circulatory system, circulates blood to all parts of the body by the action of the heart. This process provides the body’s cells with oxygen and nutritive ele- ments and removes waste materials and carbon dioxide. The heart, a muscular pump, is the central organ of the system. It beats approximately 100,000 times each day, pumping roughly 8,000 liters of blood, enough to fill about 8,500 quart-sized milk cartons. Arteries, veins, and capillaries comprise the network of vessels that transport blood (fluid consisting of blood cells and plasma) throughout the body. Blood flows through the heart, to the lungs, back to the heart, and on to the various body parts. Table 9.1 provides an at-a-glance look at the cardiovascular system. Figure 9.1 shows a schematic overview of the cardiovascular system.

    Anatomy Review: Blood Vessel Structure & Function Graphics are used with permission of: Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings (http://www.aw-bc.com) Page 1. Introduction • The blood vessels of the body form a closed delivery system that begins and ends at the heart. Page 2. Goals • To describe the general structure of blood vessel walls. • To compare and contrast the types of blood vessels. • To relate the blood pressure in the various parts of the vascular system to differences in blood vessel structure. Page 3. General Structure of Blood Vessel Walls • All blood vessels, except the very smallest, have three distinct layers or tunics. The tunics surround the central blood-containing space - the lumen. 1. Tunica Intima (Tunica Interna) - The innermost tunic. It is in intimate contact with the blood in the lumen. It includes the endothelium that lines the lumen of all vessels, forming a smooth, friction reducing lining. 2. Tunica Media - The middle layer. Consists mostly of circularly-arranged smooth muscle cells and sheets of elastin. The muscle cells contract and relax, whereas the elastin allows vessels to stretch and recoil. 3. Tunica Adventitia (Tunica Externa) - The outermost layer. Composed of loosely woven collagen fibers that protect the blood vessel and anchor it to surrounding structures. Page 4. Comparison of Arteries, Capillaries, and Veins • Let's compare and contrast the three types of blood vessels: arteries, capillaries, and veins. • Label the artery, capillary and vein. Also label the layers of each. • Arteries are vessels that transport blood away from the heart. Because they are exposed to the highest pressures of any vessels, they have the thickest tunica media.

  • Blood Vessels
    BLOOD VESSELS Blood vessels are how blood travels through the body. Whole blood is a fluid made up of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes), and plasma. It supplies the body with oxygen. SUPERIOR AORTA (AORTIC ARCH) VEINS & VENA CAVA ARTERIES There are two basic types of blood vessels: veins and arteries. Veins carry blood back to the heart and arteries carry blood from the heart out to the rest of the body. Factoid! The smallest blood vessel is five micrometers wide. To put into perspective how small that is, a strand of hair is 17 micrometers wide! 2 BASIC (ARTERY) BLOOD VESSEL TUNICA EXTERNA TUNICA MEDIA (ELASTIC MEMBRANE) STRUCTURE TUNICA MEDIA (SMOOTH MUSCLE) Blood vessels have walls composed of TUNICA INTIMA three layers. (SUBENDOTHELIAL LAYER) The tunica externa is the outermost layer, primarily composed of stretchy collagen fibers. It also contains nerves. The tunica media is the middle layer. It contains smooth muscle and elastic fiber. TUNICA INTIMA (ELASTIC The tunica intima is the innermost layer. MEMBRANE) It contains endothelial cells, which TUNICA INTIMA manage substances passing in and out (ENDOTHELIUM) of the bloodstream. 3 VEINS Blood carries CO2 and waste into venules (super tiny veins). The venules empty into larger veins and these eventually empty into the heart. The walls of veins are not as thick as those of arteries. Some veins have flaps of tissue called valves in order to prevent backflow. Factoid! Valves are found mainly in veins of the limbs where gravity and blood pressure VALVE combine to make venous return more 4 difficult.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.
