Module 18.1 Overview of Arteries and Veins
Learning Outcomes
- Compare and contrast the structures of arteries and veins, and of arterioles and venules.
- Define vascular anastomosis, and explain the significance of anastomoses.
Module 18.2 Physiology of Blood Flow
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the factors that influence blood flow, blood pressure, and peripheral resistance.
- Explain the relationships between vessel diameter, cross-sectional area, blood pressure, and blood velocity.
- Explain how blood pressure varies in different parts of the systemic and pulmonary circuits.
- Describe how blood pressure changes in the arteries, capillaries, and veins.
- Explain how mean arterial pressure is calculated.
- Describe the mechanisms that assist in the return of venous blood to the heart.
Module 18.3 Maintenance of Blood Pressure
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the role of arterioles in regulating tissue blood flow and systemic arterial blood pressure.
- Describe the local, hormonal, and neural factors that affect and regulate blood pressure.
- Explain the main effects and importance of the baroreceptor reflex.
- Explain how the respiratory and cardiovascular systems maintain blood flow to tissues via the chemoreceptor reflex.
- Describe common causes and treatments for hypertension.
Module 18.4 Capillaries and Tissue Perfusion
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the different types of capillaries, and explain how their structure relates to their function.
- Explain the roles of diffusion, filtration, and osmosis in capillary exchange.
- Describe how autoregulation controls blood flow to tissues.
Module 18.5 Capillary Pressures and Water Movement
Learning Outcomes
- Describe hydrostatic pressure and colloid osmotic pressure.
- Explain how net filtration pressure across the capillary wall determines fluid movement across that wall.
- Explain how changes in hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure may cause edema.
Module 18.6 Anatomy of the Systemic Arteries
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the patterns of arterial blood flow for the head and neck, the thoracic cavity, the abdominopelvic cavity, and the upper and lower limbs.
- Identify major arteries of the systemic circuit.
- Identify the major pulse points.
Module 18.7 Anatomy of the Systemic Veins
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the patterns of venous blood drainage for the head and neck, the thoracic cavity, the abdominopelvic cavity, and the upper and lower limbs.
- Identify major veins of the systemic circuit.
- Describe the structure and function of the hepatic portal system.
Module 18.8 Putting It All Together: The Big Picture of Blood Vessel Anatomy
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the general pathway of blood flow through the body.
- Identify the arteries and veins of the body.
