HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY WITH PATHOPHYSIOLOGY LABORATORY ACTIVITY #9


CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM: BLOOD VESSELS AND CIRCULATION (175 PTS)

Pre-Lab Discussion:

a) Briefly review the structure and function of arteries, veins, and capillaries.

b) Discuss the three layers of blood vessels: tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica externa (adventitia).

c) Emphasize the roles of different vessel types in systemic and pulmonary circulation.

Activity Part 1.

a. Label the Circulatory System


b. Label the Major Blood Vessels: Use color coding for arteries (red) and veins (blue).

Activity Part 2. Identify Vessel Layers

a.Described in each of the following descriptions. Insert the term or letter of the key choice in the answer blanks.

A. Tunica intima B. Tunica media C. Tunica externa

_______________ 1.Single thin layer of endothelium.


_______________ 2.Bulky middle coat, containing smooth muscle and elastin.
_______________ 3.Provides a smooth surface to decrease resistance to blood flow.
_______________ 4.The only tunic of capillaries.
_______________ 5.Also called the adventitia.
_______________ 6.The only tunic that plays an active role in blood pressure regulation.
_______________ 7.Supporting, protective coat.

Post-Lab Questions

1. Name the three layers of a blood vessel wall and describe the function of each.

2. Identify and describe the roles of the aorta and the vena cava in circulation.

3. Why are arteries thicker and more elastic than veins?

4. Explain the role of valves in veins and describe what could happen if they malfunction.

5. Why do capillaries have thin walls, and how does this structure support their function?
6. A patient has a blockage in their coronary artery. Explain how this affects the heart’s function.

7. During physical activity, blood flow increases to the muscles. Describe how the circulatory system adjusts to
meet this demand.

8. List the parts of the aorta. Name the major arteries that branch from the aorta and deliver blood to the vessels
that supply the heart, the head and upper limbs, and the lower limbs.

9. Name the arteries that supply the major areas of the head, upper limbs, thorax, abdomen, and lower limbs.
Describe the area each artery supplies.

10. Name the major vessels that return blood to the heart. What area of the body does each drain?
