Vessel in the middle
Vessel of vessels
The most commonly used outside layer
Blood nourishes the tissues but it also:
Carries radio-frequencies to tissues
Carries away their waste
Carries light to enhance them

The Tunica Adventitia is made up of a:
Strong fatty layer

The arterial tunica media is:
A relatively thick layer and sometimes called, the "muscle coat"
Is nourished by the vasa vasorum
Is only one cell thick
Is not affected by the expansion and contraction of blood pressure and flow
All are true about capillaries except:
Also known as vascular beds
Are a complicated tangle of of networks
In the capillary beds oxygen and nutrients are supplied to tissues
Are tiny vessels that form the connection between the arterial and venous system
Are very limited in number, only measuring one thousand per single cubic inch of muscle
The venous valves are also called
Semilunar valves
Venules
Cusps
Leaflets
The Tunica Intima is multicellular in thickness.
True
False
As the arterioles extend further, the tunica media disappears leaving single walled vessels called arterial capillaries
True
False
Arteries, veins and capillaries are part of an open, continuous loop system.
True
False
A bicuspid valve is:
One in which there are two pockets, formed by two leaflets
One in which there are two muscle layers that open and close simultaneously
One in which the sinuses gather nutrients to feed tissue
Designed to direct blood away from the heart
Vessels that enter the capillary bed are called venous capillaries
True
False
The Tunica Adventitia is not strong enough to keep the vessel open when the vessel is severed or injured
True
False
Arteries always carry blood away from the heart, and veins always carry blood toward it.
True
False
Blood vessels are composed of living tissue, so they also require nourishment
True
False
An alternate word for Tunica Adventitia is:
Tunica media

Tunica intus
Tunica adventitious
All of the following are categories of blood vessels except:
