Pal worksheet: cardiovascular system: blood, blood vessels, wk12

1) Make a diagram in which you include the following: a representative artery, vein and capillary

Each drawing should be in cross section – indicate layers and label – describe the epithelial lining – next
to each drawing indicate how form/anatomy supports function – if muscle associated with the vessels,
what type?

2) Draw a cartoon outline of the upper limb – diagram arterial supply upper limb, from heart to the
hand
3) Draw a cartoon outline of the lower limb – diagram arterial supply of lower limb, from inguinal
lig. To foot

Compartment questions: it’s useful to think of compartments when studying anatomy – a given
compartment tends to have muscles with similar function, blood supply and nerve supply

a. What major artery supplies structures in anterior thigh?

b. what major artery supplies structures in lateral leg?
c. What major artery supplies structures in posterior leg?
d. How is blood delivered to sole of foot?
e. Major arterial supply to posterior arm?
f. Major arterial supply to anterior aspect chest wall?
g. Two primary arterial sources of blood for brain, brainstem and cerebellumThought
questions:

5. Draw the aortic arch and its typical branching pattern – note that there is no right subclavian artery,
typically, derived from the aortic arch – How does the right upper limb receive arterial blood?

6. If most of blood supply to lower limb enters via anterior compartment, underneath inguinal ligament
initially, how does posterior thigh receive blood supply? –

7. What structural/anatomical features of the body prevent blood from pooling in lower limb? What Commented [a1]:
might be some complications of pooled blood in lower limb?

8. Which vessel type is structurally most suited for gas exchange? Why?

9. Which vessel type is structurally most suited for high pressure situations? Why? –

10. Which vessel type would be best for regulating blood pressure?
11. What kind of tissue is blood and where is it made? Are there any other products/substances that
make their way into blood and if so where?

12. Can you think of two products that are the result of blood filtration? Where does this take place?

13. The venous system for the limbs has both a superficial and deep network – the deep network follows
the arteries. The superficial network has no arterial counterpart.

a. Draw a diagram in which you label major superficial venous structures for upper and
lower limb

b. Draw a diagram in which you label venous drainage of thorax:

c. Which major superficial neck veins lack arterial counterparts?

Blood questions

14. What tissue type is blood considered?

15. Make a table and list the major components of blood? Next to each component, if possible, list
functions

16. Blood cell type functional questions:

a. Name a cell type involved in allergic reactions?
b. Name a cell type involved in clotting reaction?
c. Name a cell type necessary for transport of oxygen? What is unique about this cell type?
d. Name a cell type that can move freely out of blood vessels, and phagocytosis invading
pathogens?
