1. Continuous capillaries: tight junctions, creating a continuous and
uninterrupted lining, small gaps for exchange of gases via simple
diffusion
2. Fenestrated capillaries: contains pores fenestrations; allows for
slightly larger molecules to filter; found in places like the kidney
3. Sinusoidal capillaries: large openings allow the passage of larger
molecules such as proteins and formed elements; found in the liver
4. Veins: contain valves, rely on venules, medium sized veins, and
large veins to create pressure to assist in returning blood to the
heart, carry deoxygenated blood
5. Venules: small veins, attached to capillary bed
6. Medium sized veins: slightly larger in diameter veins

, 7. Large veins: largest in diameter veins, exp inferior vena cava
8. Contains most of the blood at any given time and function as a
blood reservoir: veins
9. Systemic venoconstriction: increases venous return
10. Portal system: consists of blood vessels that have a capillary bed
at either end 19. Anastomoses: consists of the merging of vessels
other than capillaries, both arterial and venous perfusion
20. Blood pressure: the force exerted by blood against a vessel's wall
as it flows through
21. Systolic pressure: refers to the pressure in the arteries when the
heart contracts and pumps blood into the circulation
22. Diastolic pressure: represents the pressure in the arteries when
the heart is at rest between beats
23. Calculate pulse pressure: pp= systolic- diastolic
24 korotkoff sounds: circulatory sounds heard upon auscultation of
the brachial artery
25. Map: (systolic-diastolic)/3 + diastolic
