Name the blood vessel that carries blood from the muscle?
The Arteries
What type of muscle is associated with blood vessels?
The smooth muscle type is associated with blood vessels. This muscle type is involuntary.
What blood vessel brings oxygen to the heart muscle?
The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that bring oxygenated blood to the muscle of the heart.
What is the muscle that surrounds the blood vessel?
Blood vessels are surrounded by smooth muscle. This is often known as visceral muscle. This type of muscle also lines the blood vessels and internal organs.
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
What is the blood vessel on the heart muscle called?
Coronary arteries
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
If blood flow to the calf muscle is 30 mL per min and the blood vessel supplying blood to the calf muscle dilates tripling its radius what is the blood flow to the muscle?
270 ml/min!
What blood vessel relies mostly on the skeletal muscle pump?
Veins
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.
