78
Types of Blood Vessels
3.5,
79
80
C.1 ARTERY
81
Artery
82
Artery
Endothelium
Wavy elastic band
Lumen
Connective Tissue
Smooth muscle
Characteristics Artery Reason
Size of wall Thick Arteries receive blood directly from the heart. Blood is at high pressure. Thick walls required to withstand high blood pressure in the arteries.
Layer of elastic
and muscle tissues
Thick Enables the artery wall to stretch and recoil. Pushes the blood along in spurts. Creates the pulse.
Direction of blood flow
Heart to organs Arteries carry blood AWAY from the heart
Oxygen content
Oxygenated blood, except
pulmonary artery
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, hence they carry oxygenated blood. Pulmonary artery carry blood away from heart to lungs, it carries deoxygenated blood.
Colour Red Arteries carry oxygenated blood. Oxy-haemoglobin appears red.
Location Deep muscle Usually large vessels, within deep muscles for protection.
Valves Absent except in
pulmonary artery
Blood pressure is high, blood does not backflow. No valves required. In pulmonary artery, valves (semi-lunar valves) present to prevent backflow of blood into ventricles.
84
C.2 VEIN
85
Vein
Endothelium
Lumen
Connective Tissue
Smooth muscle
Characteristics Vein Reason
Size of wall Thin Veins receive blood from the capillary network. Blood is at low pressure. Blood flow is slow and smooth. Thick walls are not required.
Layer ofelastic and
muscle tissues
Thin(Less elastic tissue)
The veins do not need to stretch or recoil. The blood is at low pressure.
Direction of blood flow
Organs to heart Veins carry blood BACK to the heart.
Oxygen content
Deoxygenated blood, except
pulmonary vein
Veins carry blood back to the heart, from the capillary network. Hence, they carry deoxygenated blood. Pulmonary vein carry blood from the lungs back to the heart, hence they carry oxygenated blood.
Colour Bluish-red Veins carry deoxygenated blood. Deoxy-haemoglobin appears bluish.
Location Nearer to body surface
Near to the capillary network which is found in all tissues.
Valves Present Blood flow is slow and at low pressure. Valves are required to prevent backflow of blood.
86

87
Valves
89
C.3 Capillary
Capillary• Where exchange of materials
take place between blood and tissues/cells
• Branch repeatedly and found between cells of almost all tissues (why?)
• Consists if a thin layer of flattened (why?) endothelial cells which are selectively permeable
90
91
Capillary
Capillary Characteristics Capillary Reason
Size of wall One-cell thick For efficient exchange of materials between the blood and the tissue cells.
Layer of elastic and muscle tissues
Absent -
Direction of blood flow Arteriole to venule
Blood flows from artery to vein.
Oxygen content Oxygenated blood at the
arteriole end.
Deoxygenated blood at the venule end.
Oxygen diffuses from the blood cells into the tissue cells in the capillary network. Hence, the blood at the venous end of the capillary is deoxygenated.
Colour Bluish-red Capillary carry deoxygenated blood. Deoxy-haemoglobin appears bluish.
Location Inside all tissues
Exchange of materials happen between capillaries and all body tissue.
Valves Absent -92

lower during relaxation
143
Q. How is blood pressure measured?

narrowing the lumen and reducing supply of oxygen to the tissues
• Higher risk of arteriole ballooning out and possibly bursting

Mechanism of Blood Clotting
The Cardiac Cycle

4. The ventricles then relax. This is ventricular diastole. • The drop in pressure in the ventricles causes the semi-lunar valves in the two arches to close. This produces a soft ‘dub’ sound.This prevents the backflow of blood into the ventricles.• The drop in pressure in the ventricles also causes the bicuspid valves to open. • The whole cycle (1-4) then repeats.

1. Both the atria and the ventricles are relaxed.• The right atrium receives blood from the venae cavae while the left atrium receives blood from the pulmonary veins.
2. • The atria contract, forcing blood into the ventricles.
3. • After a short pause, the ventricles contract. This is called ventricular systole.
