Short-Answer Essay
1. List the three types of blood vessels and give their function.
Suggested answer:
▪ Arteries: carry blood away from the heart and toward a capillary bed; arteries to
lungs carry unoxygenated blood; arteries to body carry oxygenated blood
▪ Capillaries: blood enters capillaries from arteries; sites where oxygen and
nutrients are delivered and wastes are picked up
▪ Veins: receive blood from capillaries; carry blood back to the heart; veins from
body carry unoxygenated blood and veins from lungs carry oxygenated blood

2. Both coronary artery bypass graft and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
are treatments for coronary artery disease. Describe what CAD and each of these
procedures.
Suggested answer:
• Coronary artery disease: chronic heart disease caused by arteriosclerosis or
atherosclerosis of coronary arteries
• Coronary artery bypass graft: open-heart surgery in which blood vessel, often a
leg vein, is grafted to route blood around an occluded coronary artery
• Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty: widens narrowed coronary
artery by inserting a balloon catheter into the narrowed artery and inflating the
balloon to dilate the narrowed blood vessel
