What else can I help you with?
The muscular layer of a blood vessel is the?
The tunica media is the middle layer of the wall of a blood vessel. It is made up of smooth muscle cells and sheets of elastic tissue that help regulate blood flow in the body by causing the blood vessel to narrow or widen.
Where Elastic fibers are absent in case of blood vascular system?
The capillaries are the only blood vessels without elastic tissue. This is so that the vessel walls are as thin as possible to reduce the diffusion distance (for gases and waste products). Veins do contain a layer of elastic tissue is their walls, but this is a very thin layer (when compared to arteries).
What type of tissue is a blood vessel?
......
How are blood vessels like vascular tissue?
because vascular tissue is a blood vessel
Which type of blood vessel exhibits elastic recoil to maintain diastolic blood pressure?
Arteries!
What kind of blood vessels carry away from the heart?
The "type" of blood vessel is an artery.The largest, an elastic one connected to the heart, is the aorta.
What is released when a blood vessel or tissue is injured?
your mom is the answer
Are there other names for blood vessel?
An elastic tubular channel, such as: * An artery * A vein * A capillary
What tissue makes up the blood vessel inner tunic?
The tunica interna of a blood vessel is a single layer of endothelium with a basal lamina.Connective tissue
What causes the transfer of materials between capillaries and tissue fluid?
As blood enters the capillary bed on the arteriole end, the blood pressure in the capillary vessel is greater than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid moves from the vessel to the body tissue.At the middle of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel equals the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid passes equally between the capillary vessel and the body tissue. Gasses, nutrients, and wastes are also exchanged at this point.On the venue end of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the vessel is less than the osmotic pressure of the blood in the vessel. The net result is that fluid, carbon dioxide and wastes are drawn from the body tissue into the capillary vessel.
What type of tissue is blood vessels?
The tissue in blood vessels is called elastic tissue as it have to control the pressure in blood and have to contract and relax to create a specific pressure so that every organ should receive blood.
Do muscular arteries maintain blood flow during ventricular diastole?
The structure of the various blood vessels is closely related to their function. The vessels which receive blood from the heart, the elastic arteries, have thick, strong walls to cope with the sudden high pressure produced during diastole; they contain abundant elastic material to allow stretch so that the vessel lumen may accommodate the change of volume. They also have a thick, outer coat of collagenous connective tissue whose tensile strength prevents over-distension of the elastic tissue. The elastic recoil of these elastic arteries is responsible for maintaining a continuous, though decreased, flow of blood to smaller vessels during systole.http://ect.downstate.edu/courseware/histomanual/cardiovascular.html
