Exercise 36
Blood vessels
The wall of the blood
vessels

Three distinct layers
 Tunica intima
• Lines the lumen
• Simple squamous epithelium
• endothelium and endocardium
 Tunica media
• Smooth muscle,
• collagen and elastic fibers
• Regulates the diameter of the
blood vessels
The wall of the blood
vessels
 Tunica
externa or adventitia
• Areolar or fibrous connective
tissue
• Supports the vessel
• Protects the vessel
The wall of the blood
vessels
Arteries

Blood vessels that conduct blood away
from the heart and toward tissues. In
the pulmonary circulation, pulmonary
arteries conduct deoxygenated blood
to the lungs. In the systemic circulation,
the aorta and its branches conduct
oxygenated blood toward the systemic
tissues
Arteries

Small arteries are called arterioles.
Arterioles conduct blood into a network
of even smaller vessels, or capillaries.
Arteries




Subject to pressure fluctuations
Thick walls
Contain more smooth muscle and
elastic tissues
Narrower lumen than veins
Arteries


Can be classified as:
Elastic
 Closer to the heart
 Large arteries
 More elastic fibers than smooth
muscle
Arteries

Muscular
 Farther from the heart
 Smaller arteries
 More smooth muscle than elastic
fibers
Veins

Blood vessels that conduct blood
toward the heart. In the pulmonary
circulation, the pulmonary veins return
oxygenated blood from the lungs. In the
systemic circulation the vena cava
returns deoxygenated blood from the
rest of the systemic loop. Venules are
small veins.
Veins

Far from the heart
Not subjected to pressure fluctuations
Thin walls
