    3rd Lec On Vascular Histology by Dr. Roomi

    Uploaded by

    Mudassar Roomi
    This document discusses the histology of the circulatory system. It describes elastic arteries, which are also called large or conducting arteries. Elastic arteries have many layers of elastic fibers in their tunica media and lack an external elastic lamina. They absorb pulse pressure and ensure smooth blood flow. The document also mentions vasa vasorum, the small blood vessels that supply the artery walls, and explains the functions of elastic arteries. It provides diagrams and identification points for elastic arteries and discusses aneurysms, atherosclerosis, and varicose veins.

    Vasa Vasorum
    Found in the walls of large arteries and veins function: these are Small blood vessels which supply nutrition to tunica media and tunica adventitia

    Function of elastic arteries

    During systole, They absorb some of the pulse beat by expansion of their walls. During diastole, the large arteries return to normal size pushing the blood forward (windkessel effect). They make the blood flow less intermittent during cardiac cycle.
