1) The exception of oxygenated arteries. These carry deoxygenated blood.
Down: 2) The tunica media contains more smooth muscle cells than elastic fibers.3) is found only in larger venules.5) The study of vessels.6) Is an alternate route of blood to a body part through an anastomosis. Circulation of blood through a secondary channel so as to bypass an obstruction in the main channel.7) is the largest artery in the body.8) Microscopic vessels that carry blood from the arterioles to small veins called venules. They are the SMALLEST blood vessels. Their function is to permit the exchange of nutrients (oxygen) and waste (CO2) at the cellular level.10) Has only a few scattered smooth muscle fibers.12) The hollow core through which blood flows.13) A blood vessel that splits into 2 branches.15) Composed of endothelium16) Very small, minute arteries that deliver blood to the capillaries. Are considered the terminal branches of arteries.17) A blood vessel that splits into 3 branches.21) makes the lumen larger. An increase in the size of the lumen caused by dilation or relaxation of smooth muscle in the wall of the blood vessel.23) Are blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart, away from the tissues. Carry deoxygenated blood. Across: 1) The exception of oxygenated arteries. These carry deoxygenated blood.4) Veins run parallel to arteries also called:9) Is composed of endothelium, like arteries10) is the inner layer. Is composed of endothelium. This layer is in contact with the blood. Is a continuous layer that lines the inner surface of the entire cardiovascular system.11) is composed of endothelium.14) Veins have valves that prevent backward circulation also called:18) Blood vessels that supply blood to the walls of blood vessels.19) Also known as elastic or conducting arteries. The tunica media contains more elastic fibers than smooth muscle cells. Conduct blood to muscular arteries.20) Composed of dense connective tissue and some elastic fibers.22) is a vein that accompanies an artery.24) Arteries can be classified as :25) A vessel that dumps into another vessel:26) Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart and convey it towards the tissues. It is almost always oxygenated blood.27) Are small veins that collect blood from the capillaries and drain it into the veins.28) Makes the lumen of the artery smaller. Is a decrease in the size of the lumen caused by contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the wall of the blood vessels.29) Carry oxygenated blood. The exception to deoxygenated blood veins.30) is the middle layer. The thickest layer. Is composed of smooth muscle and elastic fibers. Its also involuntary.31) An end to end union of blood vessels. Is the union of branches of 2 or more arteries supplying blood to the same region. Is the joining together of blood vessels. Is the natural communication of blood vessels. Is an alternative route for blood to reach a tissue or organ.32) Composed of smooth muscle and elastic fibers. This layer is less developed than in the arteries because there is less pressure than in the arteries.
