Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

Exercise 32: Anatomy of Blood Vessels

front 1

CROSS-SECTIONAL VIEWS OF AN ARTERY AND OF A VEIN ARE SHOWN HERE. IDENTIFY EACH; ON THE LINES TO THE SIDES, NOTE THE STRUCTURAL DETAILS THAT ENABLED YOU TO MAKE THESE IDENTIFICATIONS:

back 1

STRUCTURAL DETAILS:
ARTERY: ROUND AND THICK
VEIN: THIN AND SQUIGGLY

front 2

CHARACTERISTICS OF TUNICA INTIMA

back 2

INNERMOST TUNIC, THIN TUNIC OF CAPILLARIES

front 3

CHARACTERISTICS OF TUNICA MEDIA

back 3

ESPECIALLY THICK IN ELASTIC ARTERIES, CONTAINS SMOOTH MUSCLE AND ELASTIN

front 4

CHARACTERISTICS OF TUNICA EXTERNA

back 4

MOST SUPERFICIAL TUNIC, HAS A SMOOTH SURFACE TO DECREASE RESISTANCE TO BLOOD FLOW

front 5

WHY ARE VALVES PRESENT IN VEINS BUT NOT IN ARTERIES?

back 5

Veins need valves to create pressure to pump the blood to the heart. Blood flows away from the heart and, therefore, the pressure is not required. Helps against gravity.

front 6

NAME TWO EVENTS OCCURING WITHIN THE BODY THAT AID IN VENOUS RETURN.

back 6

1. Respiratory "Pump". Pressure changes that occur in the thorax during breathing.
2. Muscular "Pump". Contraction and Relaxation of skeletal muscles surrounding the veins

front 7

WHY ARE THE WALLS OF ARTERIES PROPERTIONATELY THICKER THAN THOSE OF THE CORRESPONDING VEINS?

back 7

Because the blood is pumped directly into arteries so there is more pressure on the arteries

front 8

THE ARTERIAL SYSTEM HAS ONE OF THESE; THE VENOUS SYSTEM HAS TWO

Ok, so you’re using my notecards which is great. I am glad I could help you out cause I wish I had someone to help me out when I took this course. I know Anatomy is super hard.

back 14

I only ask that if you find these notecards helpful, you join Easy Notecards and create at least one notecard set to help others out. It can be for any subject or class. Thanks and don’t forget to rate my helpfulness!
