BIOS255 WEEK 3 CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM BLOOD
VESSELS
Learning objectives:
1. Identify the structural layers of arteries and veins.
2. Distinguish between the structure of arteries and veins.
3. Explain the factors that affect arterial blood flow and blood pressure.
4. Define shock, and identify the signs of shock.
5. Identify key blood vessels of the cardiac, systemic, and pulmonary circulations.
Introduction:
Blood is transported around the body in 3 different types of blood vessels: arteries, capillaries,
and veins. Each blood vessel is composed of 3 layers of tissue. Blood pressure and flow
depend on multiple factors. There are a number of mechanisms by which shock can occur. We
will track blood through the pulmonary and systemic circulations noting the major arteries and
veins in our path.
Assignment:
