Laboratory Activities and Assignment

Part 1: Review of Blood Vessels

1. On the diagram of a blood vessel below, label the following:

endothelium external elastic lamina internal elastic lamina

lumen smooth muscle tunica adventitia

tunica intima tunica media vasa vasorum

2. For each description below, write one of the choices below in the blank spaces provided. Choices can be used more than once.

• arteries
• arterioles
• capillaries
• veins
• venules

a. __________________ These large blood vessels carry blood to the heart.

b. __________________ & __________________ These blood vessels contain valves.

c. __________________ These large blood vessels carry blood away from the heart.

d. __________________ These smaller blood vessels carry blood from the vessels of where materials are transferred between the blood and the tissues to the large blood vessels carrying blood to the heart.

e. __________________ These are the smallest blood vessels in the body.

f. __________________ These smaller blood vessels carry blood to the vessels where materials are transferred between the blood and the tissues.

g. __________________ The inferior vena cava is one of these.

h. __________________ The aorta is one of these.

i. __________________ The vessels where materials are transferred between the blood and the tissues.

j. __________________, __________________, & __________________ Blood vessels that do not have valves.

3. Name the arteries on the diagram below. Use the choices given to fill in each blank.

ascending aorta axillary artery brachial artery brachiocephalic trunk celiac trunk circle of Willis common carotid artery (right and left) common hepatic artery

common iliac arteries descending abdominal aorta descending thoracic aorta external carotid artery external iliac artery gonadal arteries inferior mesenteric artery internal carotid artery

Part 2: Examining the Histology of the Blood Vessels

1. Obtain the slides listed below that are available for today’s lab.
2. Focus on each sample and identify the structures listed for each type of tissue.
3. Indicate the total magnification you make each illustration at in the space provided.
4. Illustrate each tissue you observe with the microscope at the magnification you listed.
5. Label each illustration with the structures listed for each.

Large Elastic Artery Cross Section

Label the tissue with: tunica interma, tunica media, tunica adventitia, smooth muscle, elastic fibers, vasa vasorum

Capillary-Containing Tissue

Label the tissue with: capillary, nucleus of endothelial cell

Vein Cross Section

Label the tissue with: tunica interma, tunica media, tunica adventitia, nucleus of endothelial cell, valve

Part 3: The Arteries and Veins of the Systemic Circuit

1. For each blood vessel in the table below, identify it on anatomical models, anatomical diagrams provided by your instructor, or on the virtual model at www.zygotebody.com.
2. Fill out the table to tell the location of the blood vessel.
3. Indicate whether this blood vessel supplies blood or drains it by checking the appropriate box.
4. Tell what organs or body regions are supplied or drained by the blood vessel.
5. Indicate whether this blood vessel is paired (right and left) or if there is only one by checking the appropriate box.
