1. What do arteries do?: Arteries carry nutrients and oxygen, rich blood to the organs and tissues beds
2. What do veins do?: Veins, return, deoxygenated blood, and waste back to the heart
3. How does flow from the heart go?: Heart , arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules veins
4. What helps with regulating blood flow and are considered resistant ves- sels?: Arterioles
5. arterioles assist with regulating blood flow through and -
: contraction relaxation
6. What are the three walls of arteries?: Tunica intima, tunica media, adventitia
7. what is the tunica intima made of ?: endothelial cells
8. what is the tunica media made of?: smooth muscle cells
9. what is the tunica adventitia made of ?: connective tissue
10.What wall does atherosclerosis form on?: Tunica intima
11.What is the thickest wall of an artery?: Tunica media
12.What is the outer most layer of an artery?: tunica adventitia
13.What is the vasa vasorum?: The blood supply within the blood supply
14.what layer of an artery contains the vaso vasorum?: adventitia
15. Veins are divided into what three systems?: Deep system, superficial system, perforating system
16.what are the stopcocks of the vascular system?: arteries
17.What is the function of the deep system?: Deep, direct pathway to heart
18.What is the function of the superficial system?: To regulate body tempera- ture
19.What is the function of the perforating system?: To connect superficial and deep system
20.How much of total blood volume resides in the venous system?: 2/3
21.True or false veins have valves: True - bicuspid valves
22.What is the primary goal of a carotid duplex: The primary goal is to evaluate patients with signs or symptoms of
stroke
