Exercise 21 Blood Vessels & Circulation Portland Community College BI 232 Blood vessels • Conduits that carry oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove wastes • Arteries transport blood away from the heart. • Deliver blood to capillary beds where gas and nutrient exchange occurs. • Veins transport blood toward the heart. 2 Martini pg. 711 3 General Circulatory Patterns • Two main circuits: • Pulmonary circulation: Blood goes from the heart to the lungs and returns to the heart. The pulmonary trunk and its branches; leave the right ventricle of the heart and contain deoxygenated blood. • Systemic Circulation: Blood goes from the heart to rest of the body. The aorta and its branches; leave the left ventricle of the heart and contain oxygenated blood. 4 Artery and Vein Histology • Walls have 3 layers: • Tunica intima • Tunica media • Tunica externa 5 Tunica Intima • Is the innermost layer near the lumen • Includes: • The endothelial lining • Connective tissue layer • Internal Elastic Membrane: In arteries, is a thick layer of elastic fibers in the outer margin of the tunica intima 6 Tunica Media • Is the middle layer • Contains concentric sheets of smooth muscle in loose connective tissue • Binds to inner and outer layers 7 Tunica Externa (aka: Tunica Adventitia) • • • • Is outer layer Contains connective tissue sheath Anchors vessel to adjacent tissues In arteries: • Contain collagen • Elastic fibers • In veins: • Contain elastic fibers • Smooth muscle cells 8 Elastic Arteries • Also called conducting arteries, these are the largest arteries • Tunica media has many elastic fibers and few muscle cells • Elasticity evens out pulse force • Examples: • Pulmonary trunk • Aorta • Common carotid arteries • Subclavian arteries • Common iliac arteries 9 Aorta n = smooth muscle cell TI = tunica intima el = elastic fibers 10 end = endothelial cells TA = tunica adventitia TM = tunica media Vasa Vasorum • “Vessels of Vessels” • Small arteries and veins in the walls of large arteries and veins • Supply cells of tunica media and tunica externa Vasa Vasorum Aorta 11 Muscular Arteries • Also called distribution arteries, are medium-sized (most arteries) • Tunica media has many muscle cells • Examples: • External carotid arteries • Brachial arteries • Femoral arteries 12 Muscular Arteries 13 Arterioles • • • • The smallest branches of arteries Feed into capillaries Have little or no tunica externa Have thin or incomplete tunica media 14 Arteriole end = endothelial cell nucleus e n = nsmooth muscle nucleus rbc d= red blood cells 15 Capillaries • The smallest vessels • Structure: Simple squamous epithelium tube • Lumen side has a thin basal lamina • No tunica media, No tunica externa • Location of exchange between blood and interstitial fluid. • Gasses and chemicals diffuse across their walls 16 Veins • Carry blood to the heart • Are larger in diameter than arteries • Have thinner walls • Contain valves • Folds of tunica intima that prevent blood from flowing backward • Venules: The smallest veins that carry blood away from the capillaries 17 Veins • Medium-sized veins: • Thin tunica media and few smooth muscle cells • Tunica externa with longitudinal bundles of elastic fibers • Large veins: • Have all 3 tunica layers • Thick tunica externa • Thin tunica media • Example: Inferior and Superior vena cava 18 Venous Valve in Medium Vein ad = adipose tissue TA = tunica adventitia TM = tunica media v = valve 19 Large Vein 20 Arteries Vs. Veins • Arteries and veins run side-by-side • Arteries have thicker walls and higher blood pressure • Collapsed artery has small, round lumen • Vein has a large, flat lumen 21 Vein Artery 22 Aortic Arch Left Coronary A.

This should be placed near the artery. 59 Measuring Blood Pressure • Place the BP cuff snugly on the patient's arm. • Check to make sure you have found the artery. • Line the mark on the cuff up with the artery 60 Measuring Blood Pressure • Stethoscope: Note how the ear pieces slant slightly in one direction. • Make sure the ear pieces on the stethoscope are point away from you when you put them on. • Place stethoscope on the artery, tucked slightly under the cuff 61 Measuring Blood Pressure WRONG TECHNIQUE • The cuff should be placed at the level of the heart. • The patients arm (or leg) should be completely relaxed. • Resting on the table or in their lab is helpful 62 CORRECT TECHNIQUE Inflate the Cuff • A Grasp the bulb so that your thumb can easily access the valve. • Turn the valve to the right to tighten it and pump up the cuff, turn it to the left to loosen it and deflate the cuff. 63 Measuring Blood Pressure • Pump up the cuff until the sphygmomanometer reads 180 to 200. • Loosen the valve to let a little of the air out. • Listen for the first heartbeat, that is the top number (systolic BP) • Continue to listen until there are no more heartbeats. The last beat you hear is the bottom number (diastolic BP) • Let the air all the way out and remove the cuff. 64 Video Demonstration for Measuring Blood Pressure • http://www.uams.edu/csc/programs/orientat ion/bloodPressure/TakingBP1.mov 65 Normal Blood Pressure • Reference: • August 2004, National Heart Lung and Blood Institute – Diseases and Conditions Index • http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html • For adults 18 and older who: • Are not on medicine for high blood pressure • Are not having a short-term serious illness • Do not have other conditions such as diabetes and kidney disease • Systolic BP: Less than 120 • Diastolic BP: Less than 80 66 Pre-Hypertension • Systolic BP: between 120-139 • Diastolic BP: between 80-89 • Examples: 118/82, 128/89, or 130/86 • If your blood pressure is in the pre-hypertension range, it is more likely that you will end up with high blood pressure unless you take action to prevent it. • Note: When systolic and diastolic blood pressures fall into different categories, the higher category should be used to classify blood pressure level. 67 Hypertension • Stage 1 • Systolic BP: between 140-159 • Diastolic BP: between 90-99 • Stage 2 • Systolic BP: 160 or higher • Diastolic BP: 100 or higher 68 Hypotension • Hypotension is a subnormal arterial pressure. • There is not enough pressure to adequately perfuse the tissues. • There is usually a mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 60 mmHg. • MAP= diastolic + 1/3(systolic-diastolic) Example: BP= 120/70 MAP= 70 + 1/3(120-70)= 86.6 • People who are chronically hypertensive may feel symptoms of hypotension if their mean arterial pressure drops by 40 mmHg, even if the absolute value is still 69 over 60. Pulse • The rhythmic expansion and recoil of the arteries is known as the pulse. • Can be found in various locations • Diminish in smaller arteries and are absent in capillaries and veins 70 Pulse Radial Pulse Carotid Pulse Brachial Pulse 71 Pulse Posterior Tibial Pulse Dorsalis Pedis Pulse 72 The End 73
