13.7 Systemic Circuit

Venous system: Veins, that return blood to the heart after gas, nutrient, and waste exchange, usually follow pathways that are parallel to the arteries that supplied that particular region with blood. The veins you'll need to learn are identical to the arterial list with the following expectations:
-
-
Note that there are 2 brachiocephalic veins. The union of the subclavian and jugular veins on each side forms them (down branch)
Superior Vena Cava (formed by the union of the left and right brachiocephalic veins = head and upper limbs)
-
-
great saphenous vein = the longest vein in the body. Extends from the medial ankle to the external iliac vein

13.1 Blood Vessels
-
arteries
-
carry blood that is high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide, except the pulmonary arteries
-
-
-
vaso constriction (contraction) = decrease vessel volume = decreased blood flow = increased blood pressure
-
-
capillaries
the smallest, thinnest blood vessels
permit the exchange of gases, nutrients, and wastes between blood and tissues
-
-
-
-
Capillary exchange
gases, nutrients, and wastes are exchanged between blood in capillaries and tissues in three ways
Diffusion
-
substances include oxygen, CO2, glucose & hormones
-
-
-
-
filtration
-
-
net affect is fluid loss at the beginning of capillary bed but most is regained by the end of the capillary bed
-
veins
-
Venules composed of a tunica externa, tunica intima
-
-
-
-
carry blood that is high in carbon dioxide and low in oxygen, except the pulmonary veins
veins are large and therefore serve as a blood reservoir, especially in the skin

Aging
-
-
blood vessels
inelastic walls
aneurysm, stroke, myocardial infarction, or massive blood loss
