DefinitionTerm
the measure of how difficult it is for blood to flow between two points -- a measure of friction
middle layer of blood vessels which encircles blood vessels, can be very elastic
resistance of all systemic vessels -- mostly due to arteriolar resistance
blockage of lymphatic drainage by a parasite resulting in swelling of blocked area
pressure of a fluid
=Diastolic Pressure + 1/3 Pulse Pressure
blood vessels which have 'circular dams' which can be contracted or relaxed to adjust blood flow
blood vessels consisting only of thin walled flattened endothelial cells -- sites of exchange of nutrients and wastes between interstitial fluid and blood
blood vessels consisting of thin muscle, thin outer layers, and endothelial cells
a condition of abnormally large fluid volume in the circulatory system or in tissues between the body's cells
outer layer of a blood vessel
DefinitionTerm
measure of friction between adjacent layers of flowing liquid
arterial engorgement (filling with excess blood) due to local or general relaxation of arterioles.
measure of stretchability of blood vessels
blood vessels with all 3 layers with thicker walls and high elasticity because they are high pressure
single layer of flat cells lining the entire vasculatory system
the difference in pressure from one end of a vessel to the other
a form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins in blood plasma that normally tends to pull water into the circulatory system
blood vessels with all 3 layers with thinner walls because they are low-pressure
the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure (diff. btw highest and lowest pressure of the cardiac system)
throb caused by increased pressure with each systole contraction
average pressure driving blood into tissues throughout cardiac cycle
