(umbilical, cardinal, vitelline )

Arterioles - Answer-- small blood vessels in microcirculation
- extend and branch out from arteries and lead to capillaries
- like arteries, arterioles carry blood away from the heart to tissues - arterioles play an
important role in blood pressure regulation
- arterioles generally have one to two layers of smooth muscle

Venules - Answer-- small blood vessel in microcirculation
- carry oxygen-deprived blood from the capillaries back to the veins
- have 3 layers

3 Layers of Venules - Answer--the endothelium (inner layer) is made up of squamous
endothelial cells that act as a membrane
- the middle layer is made up of elastic tissue
- the outer layer is made up of fibrous connective tissue

Capillaries - Answer-- smallest of the blood vessels in microcirculation
- connect arterioles and venules

,- enable the exchange of oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, waste, and other nutrients
between blood and
body tissues
- capillaries don't function on their own but as a "supply cell"

Two main capillary types - Answer-Continuous
Fenestrated

Continous - Answer-- endothelial cells provide continuing lining, therefore allowing only
small molecules to spread through junctions of intercellular clefts (unjoined membrane)

Fenestrated - Answer-- pores in the endothelial cells are present
- these pores allow small molecules and restricted amounts of protein to
spread through

Supine Position - Answer-patient is lying face-up on their back

Prone Position - Answer-patient is lying face-down on their stomach

What is important to remember about glucose testing - Answer-patient must be fasting
for 12 hours

Ear lobe

Big toe

Heel (infants)

Monoject Monoletter - Answer-safety device for capillary function

What is blood collected from capillary puncture composed of? - Answer-blood from
capillaries, arterioles, veins, and tissue fluid

Blood Smear - Answer-performed right after wiping away the first drop of blood

A spreader (two glass slide) is positions and a small drop of blood is placed on the slide.
The top glass is pulled back into the blood drop to spread it along the back side of the
glass. The slide is then pushed left quickly

What is the best angle for blood smear spreading - Answer-30 degrees

Arterial Puncture - Answer-usually performed for further analysis of blood gas

Should be done with no exposure to air

Why should arterial pressure not be done in exposure to air - Answer-to prevent the
escape of gas from the liquid

At what angle should artery be punctured - Answer-90 degreed

Gloves - Answer-- disposable gloves used in phlebotomy to help prevent contamination
