Oxygenated Blood
Deoxygenated Blood
How many blood vessel types do humans have?
4
5

Human blood vessels are
artries, capillaries, and atria
ventricles, atria and pulmonary veins
capillaries, artries, and veins
veins, artries, and aorta
Which blood vessel has valves to prevent the back-flow of blood?
Veins
Arteries
Capillaries
The thickest and strongest blood vessel is the
vein
artery
capillary
both veins and capillaries
The blood vessel that has the largest lumen diameter is
vein
artery
capillary
Valves in veins
support them
protect them
prevent the backward movement of blood inside them
provide them elesticity
which of the blood vessels do you think have greatest blood pressure
veins
capillaries
atria
arteries
These are one cell thick
arteries
capillaries
veins
Which of the following is NOT a type of blood vessel?
Artery
Capillary
Vein
Ventricle
How are capillaries adapted for their function?
Have partially permeable walls
One-cell thick endothelium
Presence of valves
Large lumen
The........ has thick muscular wall, small lumen and no valves
Artery
Veins
Capillary
Trachea
The........ has thin muscular wall, very big lumen and valves
Artery
Veins
Capillary
Trachea
Which of the following is true of an artery?
One, some or all answers could be correct?
it carries blood at a high pressure
it always carries deoxygenated blood
it carries blood away from the heart
it has an outer layer of connective tissue
Which of the following is true of a vein?
One, some or all answers could be correct?
it carries blood back to the heart
it has a thick layer of elastic tissue
it has a thin layer of muscle tissue
it has a wide lumen
Veins have valves that prevent blood from falling backwards.
Why would this happen if there were no valves?
One, some or all answers could be correct?
Blood is much heavier in veins
Blood in veins is at a lower pressure
Gravity is in the opposite direction to the flow of blood
Blood is much thicker in veins
Which of the following is/are true of a capillary?
One, some or all answers could be correct?
It connects an artery and a vein
It exchanges substances between the blood and organs
It contains valves
It has very thin walls for fast diffusion of substances across it
Which of the following shows a correct route for the exchange of substances in blood?
arteriole --> artery --> capillary --> vein --> venule
artery --> vein --> capillary --> venule --> arteriole
venule --> vein --> capillary --> artery --> arteriole
artery --> arteriole --> capillary --> venule --> vein
Which of the following is/are correct difference(s) between arteries, veins and capillaries?
One, some or all answers could be correct?
Only veins have valves
Arteries have the thickest layer of muscle and elastic tissue
Blood pressure is lowest in the veins
Capillaries have the smallest lumen
Arteries have a thick layer of muscle and elastic tissue.
Why is this important?
One, some or all answers could be correct?
Prevents arteries from bursting due to high blood pressure
Prevents smooth blood flow
Helps to force blood back to the heart
Helps the artery to pick up oxygen
