1. BLOOD VESSELS PATHOLOGY

2. B LOOD V ESSELS : T HE V ASCULAR S YSTEM  Taking blood from the heart to the tissues and back  Arteries  Arterioles  Capillaries  Venules  Veins

3. The Vascular System

4. 4

5. Differences Between Blood Vessel Types  Walls of arteries are the thickest  Lumens of veins are larger than arteries  Skeletal muscle “milks” blood in veins toward the heart

6. 6 C APILLARIES  Only a single layer of endothelium and a basement membrane  Connect arterioles and Venules  Functional part of system  True capillaries begin at a precapillary sphincter which controls blood flow through the capillary

8. L YMPHATIC S YSTEM Lymphatic capillary Lymphatic duct Lymphatic vessels All organs have lymphatic vessels except ?

9. Pathology Congenital Anomalies Arteriosclerosis HTN Vasculitides ( inflammations) Aneurysms & Dissections Veins & Lymphatics Tumors

10. V ASCULAR P ATHOLOGY IN HTN Hypertension is associated with two forms of small blood vessel disease  Hyaline Arteriolosclerosis  Hyperplastic Arteriolosclerosis
