Do skeletal muscle tissue makes up blood vessel walls?
No, skeletal muscle tissues are located in the skeletal muscles and not blood vessels. Blood vessels are usually made of smooth epithelial cell tissue and not more on muscle.
Give examples of three types of muscles?
Smooth Muscle, Cardiac Muscle, and Skeletal Muscle
How does smooth muscle make blood vessels function?
Smooth muscle is mostly in the afferent branch going from the arteries to the arterioles. The body controls where blood will flow by controlling the vessel diameter. An increase in sympathetic tone constricts smooth muscle, decreases blood vessel diameter, and limits blood flow.
What muscle is associated with the blood vessel?
Smooth muscle
What is a Vasospasm?
Vasospasm-- Narrowing of a blood vessel caused by a spasm of the smooth muscle of the vessel wall.
Which blood vessel tunic is composed of smooth muscle and controls the diameter of the vessel?
Tunica interna
When contraction of the smooth muscle in a blood vessel wall results in the vessel is referred to as being in a condition of?
vasoconstriction
A decrease in the autonomic tone of the smooth muscle in a blood vessel would result in?
an increase in vessel diamete
What is a vessel with a thick layer of smooth muscle and elastic fibers that allow for expansion?
An artery is a vessel with a thick medial layer, consisting of smooth muscle to allow for constriction or dilation in order to control blood flow through the vessel.
Name the blood vessel that carries blood from the muscle?
The Arteries
What is the blood vessel on the heart muscle called?
Coronary arteries
Name some cardiac muscles?
Cardiac muscle is the muscle that your heart uses, this type of muscle never tires, skeletal muscle is like the muscle you use to contract your arm, and smooth muscle is the muscle your stomache and other similair organs use to push food through your system.
