Blood Vessel Functions

1. Carry blood
2. Exchange nutrients, waste products, gases
within tissues
3. Transport substances
4. Regulate blood pressure
5. Direct blood flow to tissues

5
Blood Vessels
Blood vessels outside the heart are divided into
two classes:
1. The pulmonary vessels, which transport
blood from the right ventricle of the heart
through the lungs and back to the left atrium
2. The systemic vessels, which transport blood
from the left ventricle of the heart through all
parts of the body and back to the right atrium

6
Vessel Structures
Arteries:
• carry blood away from heart
• thick with a lot of elastic
Veins:
• carry blood toward heart
• thin with less elastic
Capillaries:
• exchange occurs between blood and tissue fluids
7
Blood Flow
Blood flows from arteries into arterioles
Arterioles into capillaries
Capillaries into venules
Venules to small veins
Veins return to heart

Blood Flow through the Circulation

21
Pulmonary Circulation Vessels

Pulmonary circulation:
• blood vessels that carry blood from right ventricle to
lungs and back to left atrium of heart
Pulmonary trunk:
• blood pump from right ventricle towards lung
Pulmonary veins:
• exit lungs and carry O2 rich blood to left atrium

22
Systemic Circulation Vessels

The systemic circulation carries blood from the
left ventricle to the tissues of the body and back
to the right atrium.
Oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins
passes from the left atrium into the left ventricle
and from the left ventricle into the aorta.
Arteries distribute blood from the aorta to all
portions of the body

23

Ascending:
• passes superiorly from left ventricle
Aortic arch:
• 3 major arteries which carry blood to head and
upper limbs

Thoracic:
• part of descending aorta that extends through
thorax to diaphragm
Abdominal:
• descending aorta that extends from diaphragm
where it divides at the common iliac arteries

to the heart is deoxygenated.

returning to the heart in the pulmonary veins is
oxygenated.

Blood pressure is the measure of force blood
exerts against blood vessel walls.
Systolic pressure: contraction of heart
Diastolic pressure: relaxation of heart
Average Blood Pressure: 120/80

Pulse Pressure
Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic
and diastolic blood pressures.
• Example - 120 for systolic / 80 for diastolic; pulse
pressure is 40 mm Hg
• pulse pressure points can be felt near large arteries

Capillary Exchange 2
Figure 13.24
71
Capillary Exchange 1
Most exchange across capillary wall’s occurs by

diffusion
Blood pressure, capillary permeability and
osmosis affect movement of fluids across
capillary walls.
Net movement of fluid from blood into tissues
Fluid gained in tissues is removed by lymphatic
system

72
Local Control of Blood Flow

Local control achieved by relaxation and
contraction of precapillary sphincters
Sphincters relax blood flow increases
Precapillary sphincters controlled by metabolic
needs of tissues
Concentration of nutrients also control blood flow
Blood flow increases when oxygen levels decrease

Local Control of Blood Flow through 73
Capillary Beds
Figure 13.25
74
Nervous Control of Blood Flow

Vasomotor center:
• sympathetic division
• controls blood vessel diameter
Vasomotor tone:
• state of partial constriction of blood vessels
• increase causes blood vessels to constrict and blood
pressure to go up

75
Hormonal Control of Blood Flow

The sympathetic division also regulates
hormonal control of blood flow through the
release of epinephrine and norepinephrine from
the adrenal medulla.
In most blood vessels, these hormones cause
constriction, which reduces blood flow.
In some tissues, such as skeletal muscle and
cardiac muscle, these hormones cause the blood
vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow.
76
Nervous Regulation of Blood Vessels

77
Mean Arterial Pressure 1
An adequate blood pressure is required to

maintain blood flow through the blood vessels of
the body.
Several regulatory mechanisms ensure that
blood pressure remains adequate for this task.
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a calculated
value that reflects an average arterial pressure in
various vessels of the body.

78
The body’s MAP is equal to the cardiac output

(CO) times the peripheral resistance (PR).
Cardiac output is equal to the heart rate (HR)
times the stroke volume (SV).
Peripheral resistance is the resistance to blood
flow in all the blood vessels.
MAP = CO × PR

79
The MAP changes in response to changes in HR,

SV, or PR.
The mean arterial pressure changes over our
lifetime.
MAP is about 70 mm Hg at birth.
It is maintained at about 95 mm Hg from
adolescence to middle age, and may reach 110
mm Hg in a healthy older person.

80
Baroreceptor Reflexes
Baroreceptor reflexes activate responses to
blood pressure in normal range
Baroreceptors respond to stretch in arteries due
to increased pressure
Located in carotid sinuses and aortic arch
Change peripheral resistance, heart rate, stroke
volume in response to blood pressure

84
Chemoreceptor Reflex
Chemoreceptors are sensitive to changes in
blood oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH
Chemoreceptors are located in carotid bodies
and aortic bodies which lie near carotid sinuses
and aortic arch
They send action potentials along sensory nerve
to medulla oblongata

85
Chemoreceptor Reflex Mechanisms
Figure 13.29
86
Adrenal Medullary Mechanism 1
1. Stimuli increase sympathetic stimulation to

adrenal medulla
2. Adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and
norepinephrine into blood
3. This causes increased heart rate and stroke
volume and vasoconstriction
4. Vasodilation of blood vessels in skeletal and
cardiac muscle

87
Adrenal Medullary Mechanism 2
Figure 13.30
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone 88
Mechanism 1
1. Reduce blood flow causes kidneys to release

renin
2. Renin acts on angiotensinogen to produce
angiotensin I
3. Angiotensin-converting enzyme converts
angiotensin I to angiotensin II
4. Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction
5. Angiotensin II acts on adrenal cortex to release
aldosterone
Mechanism 2
6. Aldosterone acts on kidneys causes them to

conserve sodium and water
7. Result less water lost in urine and blood
pressure maintained

Mechanism 3
Figure 13.31
91
Antidiuretic Hormone Mechanism 1
1. Nerve cells in hypothalamus release

antidiuretic hormone (ADH) when
concentration of solutes in plasma increases or
blood pressure decrease
2. ADH acts on kidneys and they absorb more
water (decrease urine volume)
3. Result is maintain blood volume and blood
pressure

Aging and Blood Vessels

Arteriosclerosis:
• makes arteries less elastic
Atherosclerosis:
• type of arteriosclerosis
• from deposit of materials in artery walls (plaque)
Factors that contribute to atherosclerosis:

• lack of exercise, smoking, obesity, diet high in
cholesterol and trans fats, some genetics
