Introduction
blood vessels are a closed system of conduits that carry blood from heart to tissues and back to heart.
FUNCTIONAL MORPHOLOGY
Walls ; outer layer (adventitia) : connective tissue middle layer (media) : smooth muscle inner layer (intima) : endothelium & underlying connective tissue
Aorta and other large arteries contain relatively large amount of elastic tissue, arterioles contain less elastic tissue but much more smooth muscle.
Arterioles are major site of resistance to blood flow, and small changes in their caliber cause large changes in the total peripheral resistance.
Capillaries
total area of all capillary walls in body exceeds 6300 m2 in adult walls, which are about 1 um thick, are made up of a single layer of endothelial cells
Right: Fenestrated type of capillary, found in endocrine glands, intestinal villi, and parts of kidneys, : 20 100 nm
Pericytes, cells found in capillaries and postcapillary venule, contractile and release vasoactive agents synthesize and release constituents of basement membrane and extracellular matrix regulate of flow through junctions between endothelial cells, particularly in inflammation
VENOUS CIRCULATION
Venous flow is aided by heartbeat, increase in negative intrathoracic pressure during each inspiration, and contractions of skeletal muscles that compress the veins (muscle pump) Heartbeat, during systole contribute venous return especially at rapid heartbeat Thoracic Pump, during inspiration intrapleural pressure falls from -2.5 to -6 mm Hg, drop in venous pressure during inspiration aids venous return
Muscle Pump, Rhythmic contractions of the leg muscles while the person is standing serve to lower the venous pressure in the legs to less than 30 mm Hg by propelling blood toward the heart. In patients with varicose veins because their valves are incompetent, may develop stasis and ankle edema
Angiogenesis
formation of new blood vessels, important during fetal life and growth to adulthood. many factors are involved in angiogenesis; protein growth factor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

Viscosity of Blood
The viscosity of whole blood is dependent on the haematocrit. Anaemia can reduce blood viscosity.
vascular disease
Occurs normally during blood flow between chambers (characteristic sound)
Higher turbulent flow increases resistance (and elevated BP required to maintain flow can further damage walls)
Turbulence is also related to the diameter of the vessel and the viscosity of the blood.
R = Re = Reynolds = densitas cairan D = diameter pebuluh V= kecepatan aliran = viskositas cairan
Re < 2000 -> tidak terjadi turbulen Re > 3000 -> turbulen
Laminar Flow
flow of blood in straight blood vessels, like flow of liquids in narrow rigid tubes, is normally laminar (streamline).
Laminar flow occurs at velocities up to a certain critical velocity. At or above this velocity, flow is turbulent. Streamline flow is silent, but turbulent flow creates sounds.
Average velocity
Velocity : displacement per unit time (eg, cm/s), Flow : volume per unit time (eg, cm3/s) Velocity (v) is proportionate to flow (Q) divided by the area of the conduit (A) if flow stays constant, velocity increases in direct proportion to any decrease in A
Top: Effect of constriction (C) on the profile of velocities in a blood vessel. Bottom: Range of velocities at each point along the vessel.
Velocity and Area in the Vascular System Total cross-sectional area of the vascular system is greatest in the capillaries and lowest in the large vessels. Because flow is constant the blood velocity is fastest in the large vessels and slowest in capillaries. A erythrocyte spends 0.5 to 1 second in the capillaries.
Law of Laplace
tension in the wall of a cylinder (T) is equal to the product of the transmural pressure (P) and the radius (r) divided by the wall thickness (w). T =Pr/w
Arterial Pressure
Pulse pressure, the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures (SP DP), is normally about 50 mm Hg (120 80 mmHg) Mean pressure is the average pressure throughout the cardiac cycle, equals diastolic pressure plus one-third of the pulse pressure = DP + 1/3 (PP)
Effect of Gravity
Pressure in any vessel below heart level is increased and in any vessel above heart level is decreased by the effect of gravity. Besarnya efek gravitasi-hasil kali densitas darah, akselerasi akibat gravitasi, dan jarak vertikal di atas atau di bawah jantung 0,77 mmHg/cm pada densitas darah normal.
