Capillaries
|
Simple squamous epithelium & layer of loose CTSubstances move through by diffusion
|
Continuous Capillaries
|
Normal
|
Fenestrated Capillaries
|
Have many windows, so they're leaky. They are common in the glomeruli of the kidneys.

Capillary Network

Arterioles are incomingVenules are outgoingMetarteriole is the beginning of capillary bedIf the precapillary sphincter is closed, blood goes through the thoroughfare channels between
|
Tunica Intima
|
InsideEndothelium, basement membrane, CT & elastic fibers
|
Tunica Media
|
MiddleCircular, smooth muscle cells
|
Tunica Externa
|
OutsideCT, gives toughness to artery
|
Vasovasorum
|
Blood vessels of the blood vessels
|
Elastic Arteries
|
Large diameter, lots of elastic tissue, usually near heart so there is lots of pressure
|
Muscular Arteries
|
Smooth muscles allows them to regulate blood suppy; Adapted for vasodilation & vasoconstriction
|
Arterioles
|
Itty bitty arteries which connect arteries to capillaries
|
Venules
|
Drain capillary bedsEndothelium, basement, smooth muscle cells
|
Small veins
|
Collect blood from venulesSmooth muscle with collagenous CT
|
Hyperkalemia
|
Extra potassiumDepolarizes cardiac cells, opens some K+ channels, but not enough to generate AP
|
Local Control of BP

- Renin-Angiotensin-Aldostrone Mechanism (RAAM)- ADH Mechanism- Atrial Natriuretic Hormone- Fluid Shift Mechanism- Stress Relaxation Response
