Glossary

arteriole: (also, resistance vessel) very small artery that leads to a capillary

arteriovenous anastomosis: short vessel connecting an arteriole directly to a venule and bypassing the capillary beds

artery: blood vessel that conducts blood away from the heart; may be a conducting or distributing vessel

capacitance: ability of a vein to distend and store blood

capacitance vessels: veins

capillary: smallest of blood vessels where physical exchange occurs between the blood and tissue cells surrounded by interstitial fluid

capillary bed: network of 10–100 capillaries connecting arterioles to venules

continuous capillary: most common type of capillary, found in virtually all tissues except epithelia and cartilage; contains very small gaps in the endothelial lining that permit exchange

elastic artery: (also, conducting artery) artery with abundant elastic fibers located closer to the heart, which maintains the pressure gradient and conducts blood to smaller branches

external elastic membrane: membrane composed of elastic fibers that separates the tunica media from the tunica externa; seen in larger arteries

fenestrated capillary: type of capillary with pores or fenestrations in the endothelium that allow for rapid passage of certain small materials

internal elastic membrane: membrane composed of elastic fibers that separates the tunica intima from the tunica media; seen in larger arteries

lumen: interior of a tubular structure such as a blood vessel or a portion of the alimentary canal through which blood, chyme, or other substances travel

metarteriole: short vessel arising from a terminal arteriole that branches to supply a capillary bed

microcirculation: blood flow through the capillaries

muscular artery: (also, distributing artery) artery with abundant smooth muscle in the tunica media that branches to distribute blood to the arteriole network

nervi vasorum: small nerve fibers found in arteries and veins that trigger contraction of the smooth muscle in their walls

perfusion: distribution of blood into the capillaries so the tissues can be supplied

precapillary sphincters: circular rings of smooth muscle that surround the entrance to a capillary and regulate blood flow into that capillary

sinusoid capillary: rarest type of capillary, which has extremely large intercellular gaps in the basement membrane in addition to clefts and fenestrations; found in areas such as the bone marrow and liver where passage of large molecules occurs

thoroughfare channel: continuation of the metarteriole that enables blood to bypass a capillary bed and flow directly into a venule, creating a vascular shunt

tunica externa: (also, tunica adventitia) outermost layer or tunic of a vessel (except capillaries)

tunica intima: (also, tunica interna) innermost lining or tunic of a vessel

tunica media: middle layer or tunic of a vessel (except capillaries)

vasa vasorum: small blood vessels located within the walls or tunics of larger vessels that supply nourishment to and remove wastes from the cells of the vessels

vascular shunt: continuation of the metarteriole and thoroughfare channel that allows blood to bypass the capillary beds to flow directly from the arterial to the venous circulation

vasoconstriction: constriction of the smooth muscle of a blood vessel, resulting in a decreased vascular diameter

vasodilation: relaxation of the smooth muscle in the wall of a blood vessel, resulting in an increased vascular diameter

vasomotion: irregular, pulsating flow of blood through capillaries and related structures

vein: blood vessel that conducts blood toward the heart

venous reserve: volume of blood contained within systemic veins in the integument, bone marrow, and liver that can be returned to the heart for circulation, if needed

venule: small vessel leading from the capillaries to veins
