Blood Vessels
Blood vessels outside the heart are divided into
two classes:
1. The pulmonary vessels, which transport
blood from the right ventricle of the heart
through the lungs and back to the left atrium
2. The systemic vessels, which transport blood
from the left ventricle of the heart through all
parts of the body and back to the right atrium
Vessel Structures
Arteries:
• carry blood away from heart
• thick with a lot of elastic
Veins:
• carry blood toward heart
• think with less elastic
Capillaries:
• exchange occurs between blood and tissue fluids

Blood Flow
Blood flows from arteries into arterioles
Arterioles into capillaries
Capillaries into venules
Venules to small veins
Veins return to heart

Types of Arteries
Elastic arteries:
• largest in diameter
• thickest walls
• Example - aorta and pulmonary trunk
Muscular arteries:
• medium to small size
• thick in diameter
• contain smooth muscle cells
• can control blood flow to body regions

Capillaries
Blood flows from arterioles into capillaries
Capillaries branch to form networks
Blood flow is regulated by smooth muscle cells,
precapillary sphincters

Types of Veins
Blood flows from capillaries into venules
Blood flows from venules into small veins
All 3 tunics are present in small veins
Medium sized veins:
• collect blood from small veins and deliver to large
veins
Large veins:
• contain valves

Ascending:
• passes superiorly from left ventricle
Aortic arch:
• 3 major arteries which carry blood to head and
upper limbs
Descending:
• extends through thorax and abdomen to pelvis
Thoracic:
• part of descending aorta that extends through
thorax to diaphragm
Abdominal:
• descending aorta that extends from diaphragm
where it divides at the common iliac arteries

Axillary arteries:
• continuation of subclavian
• supply blood deep in clavicle
Brachial arteries:
• continuation of axillary
• where blood pressure measurements are taken
Ulnar arteries:
• branch of brachial artery
• near elbow
Radial arteries:
• branch of brachial artery
• supply blood to forearm and hand
• pulse taken here

Renal arteries:
• supply blood to kidneys
Hepatic arteries:
• supply blood to liver
Testicular arteries:
• supply blood to testes
Ovarian arteries:
• supply blood to ovaries

Arteries of Pelvis
Common iliac arteries:
• branches from abdominal aorta
• divides into internal iliac arteries
External iliac arteries:
• division of common iliac artery
• supply blood to lower limbs
Internal iliac arteries:
• division of common iliac
• supply blood to pelvic area

Femoral arteries:
• supply to thigh
Popliteal arteries:
• supply blood to knee
Anterior and posterior arteries:
• supply blood to leg and foot
Fibular arteries:
• supply blood to lateral leg and foot

Subclavian veins:
• forms brachiocephalic veins
Brachiocephalic veins:
• join to form superior vena cava

Brachial veins:
• empty into axillary vein
Cephalic veins:
• empty into axillary vein and basilic vein
Median cubital veins:
• connects to cephalic vein
• near elbow

Femoral veins:
• drain blood from thigh and empty into external iliac
vein
Great saphenous veins:
• drain from foot and empty into femoral vein
Popliteal veins:
• drain blood from knee and empty into femoral vein

Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the measure of force blood
exerts against blood vessel walls.
Systolic pressure: contraction of heart
Diastolic pressure: relaxation of heart
Average Blood Pressure: 120/80

Pulse Pressure
Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic
and diastolic blood pressures.
• Example - 120 for systolic / 80 for diastolic; pulse
pressure is 40 mm Hg
• pulse pressure points can be felt near large arteries

Baroreceptor Reflexes
Baroreceptor reflexes activate responses to
blood pressure in normal range
Baroreceptors respond to stretch in arteries due
to increased pressure
Located in carotid sinuses and aortic arch
Change peripheral resistance, heart rate, stroke
volume in response to blood pressure

Chemoreceptor Reflex
Chemoreceptors are sensitive to changes in
blood oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH
Chemoreceptors are located in carotid bodies
and aortic bodies which lie near carotid sinuses
and aortic arch
They send action potentials along sensory nerve
to medulla oblongata
