Blood Vessels Three types of blood vessels: arteries, veins and capillaries
Arteries -- arterioles --- capillary beds -- venules ---- veins
![Page 3: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Structure - TunicsTunica interna
– contains endothelium (simple squamous) which is in direct contact with the blood
Tunica media – mostly circular, smooth muscle and
elastin sheets
Tunica externa – Collagen fibers
– Contains nerve fibers, lymph vessels, and in large veins elastin fibers
– Very large vessels contain vasa vasorum which are small blood vessels that nourish the external cell wall

Types of Arteries Elastic arteries
• have thick walls and are located close to the heart
– Aorta and branches of aorta • Diameters from 2.5 cm to 1.0 cm
– ‘Conducting arteries’ • Elastin
– Arteriosclerosis
Muscular arteries – ‘distributing arteries’ which move
blood into organs • Diameter 1.0 – 0.3 cm
– Thickest tunica media
![Page 5: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Arteries-CapillariesArterioles
– smallest diameters (0.3 cm or less)– Large - all three tunica’s– Smaller - lead to capillary beds
Capillaries – thin walls- only tunica intima
• Exchange – Endothelial cells – Pericytes – Diameter is 8-10 microns
![Page 6: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Capillary Types
1. Continuous – skin and muscles– uninterrupted endothelial lining– joined by tight junctions – incomplete
2. Fenestrated – ‘fenestrations’
3. Sinusoids – leaky – found in liver, bone marrow, lymph
tissue and some endocrine organs– irregular and have fenestrations– fewer tight junctions– allows for blood cells and larger
particles to pass

Capillary Beds
Flow from arterioles to venules -‘microcirculation’
Blood will pass through either: – Metarteriole straight through to the
venule via a thoroughfare channel (shunt) – True capillaries to outer tissue areas
Percapillary sphincters (smooth muscle) – When opened, blood flows through the true
capillaries; blood exchange at the tissue site
![Page 8: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Structure of Veins and Venous System Venules
– small (8-100 microns in diameter) – Postcapillary venules
Veins have three tissues but the tunica media contains very little smooth muscle and elastin
• Externa
• Vena cava
• 65% of blood supply
• Blood pressure in the veins is lower than in the arteries
• Contain ‘valves’ to help move blood back to the heart
Varicose veins Venous sinuses

Anastomoses Merging of vascular channels
– Organs or body regions receive blood from more than one artery
Form ‘anastomoses’ which form alternate pathways called collateral channels for blood to reach a region of the body
– Collateral pathways
Carbon Dioxide Angiogram
Venous Anastomosis
Kidney Stenosis

Physiology of Circulation
Dynamics of Blood Circulation:
1. Relationship between flow, pressure and resistance
2. Blood Pressure
3. Regulation of Blood Pressure
4. Imbalances
![Page 11: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Blood Flow, Pressure and Resistance – Important Terminology
Blood Flow – volume of blood flowing through a vessel, organ or entire
circulation at a given time (equal to CO)
Blood pressure (BP) – force per unit area exerted on a vessel wall by blood (expressed in
mmHg); refers to ‘systemic BP’ near the aorta and large arteries near the heart
Resistance – opposition to blood flow– Caused by friction in vessels and most is encountered away from
the heart in the peripheral parts of the body
![Page 12: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Blood viscosity: – Viscosity is proportional to resistance – Greater the viscosity the greater the resistance
Blood vessel length– the greater the length the greater the resistance (constant)
Blood vessel diameter– the smaller the diameter the greater the resistance
Relationship
Flow = ΔP/R
![Page 13: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Systemic Blood
Pressure
• The closer to the ‘pump’ the greater the BP – Aorta > Veins
• Blood flow is ‘immediately’ opposed by resistance.
• Steepest Drop = Arterioles – Highest resistance
![Page 14: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Arterial Blood PressureDetermined by the elastic properties of BV in this circuit
Blood Flow – from left side of heart to the aorta, this is the peak of pressure called ‘systolic
pressure’ (120 mmHg)
Closing of the aortic semilunar valve •this prevents blood from reentering the heart •the walls of the aorta recoil which helps to maintain adequate pressure on the reducing blood volume to keep blood flowing forward in small vessels
– diastolic pressure (70-80 mmHg)
Pulse Pressure– Difference between systolic and diastolic pressures
Mean Arterial Pressure– MAP = diastolic + pulse pressure/3– Important: moves blood to and through the tissues!
![Page 15: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Capillary and Venous Blood Pressures BP drops in the capillaries to 40-20 mmHg
– Desirable because they are thin and fragile and very permeable so low pressures are adequate for forcing fluids out
Venous pressure is constant (around 20 mmHg)
Blood flow is increased due to large lumens, and valves
Even with the two factors above, this is not enough to cause proper flow
– Respiratory pump (pressure changes in ventral body cavity) in which breathing squeezes the BV’s and causes blood flow
– Muscular pump and the contraction of muscles
![Page 16: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Short-term control of Blood PressureNeural Controls - Counteract immediate flucuations in BP
– Maintain MAP– Alters distribution of blood to tissues – operate via reflex arcs (baroreceptors and chemoreceptors)– Changes in BP diameter – vasomotor centers (medulla)
• Cardiac center (cardiovascular center) controls CO and BV diameter – Vasomotor tone
1.Baroreceptors – carotid sinuses-internal carotid arteries; aortic arch; walls of large
arteries of neck and thorax – Arterial BP rises------- stretched (impulses to vasomotor center)
• Promotes reduction in BP
2. Chemoreceptors – Aortic arch; large arteries of neck – CO2 rise --- pH falls ----- cardioacceleratory center -- CO
increased

Neural Controls
Chemoreceptors

Controls of BP1. Adrenal medulla
– releases NE and E which enhance the Sympathetic response via vasoconstriction of BVs
2. Antidiuretic hormone or ADH – is produced by the hypothalamus and stimulates the kidney to conserve
water. When BP falls, more ADH is released and causes strong vasoconstriction action
3. Angiotensin II – renin an enzyme released by the kidneys which causes the release of
Angiotensin II which causes vasoconstriction increasing BP.
Long Term – Renal Control – Control via altering blood volume – Direct renal mechanism – Indirect renal mechanism
• Renin-angiotension mechanism

Hypertension• Transient – normal increases during illness, physical exertion
• Persistant – caused by obesity, genetics– Obese people have longer BVs compared to thinner
• Can be ‘asymptomatic’ for years and can lead to heart failure, vascular disease, renal failure, stroke
– Heart is forced to pump against greater resistance which will enlarge the myocardium which will eventually weaken the heart (becomes flabby and ineffective
– Causes small tears in the endothelium and accelerates atherosclerosis
• Primary hypertension (90% of people) caused by the factors on page 732; Secondary hypertension (10%) caused by identified causes like renal failure, excessive renin, athrosclerosis
– Animation– Stroke – Stroke II
• Hypotension or low blood pressure – In elderly people when standing or sitting due to slow response of sympathertic nervous system– Chronic situations may be caused by poor diets, anemia causing low blood volume

Difference in blood flow at rest compared to exercise
![Page 22: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Blood Flow- Tissue Perfusion• Flow of blood to tissues is an exact amount to that
particular tissue (gas exchange, body tissues, digestion) dependent on the function
• At rest, brain (13%); heart (4%); kidneys (20%); abdominal organs (24%); skeletal muscles (20%)
• During exercise more is shunted to skeletal muscles and shunted away from digestive organs
![Page 23: Blood Vessels](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070405/5681401c550346895dab72a7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Capillary Exchange Diffusion of Molecules Across Capillary Membranes
– Lipid-soluble (gases) through lipid bilayer of plasma membranes– Small water-soluble (sugars, amino acids)
• Intercellular capillary clefts• Fenestrations
– Larger molecules (proteins)• Pinocytotic vesicles
Fluids move via Bulk Flow – Hydrostatic pressure – Colloid osmotic pressure– Hydrostatic – Osmotic pressure interactions
