Document Summary

Arteries move blood away from the heart and transition to tissues. Capillaries are specifically designed for maximum exchange - simple squamous epithelial, endothelium. Veins transport blood away from tissues and back to the heart. Primarily result of osmotic and blood (hydrostatic) pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is highest at arterial end, higher than osmotic. Hydrostatic pressure drops as it approached the venous end. Osmotic pressure is highest at venous end, higher than hydrostatic. Lymphatic capillary beds lie alongside capillary beds. Lymphatic capillaries taking up excess fluid becomes lymph. Lymph returns to cardiovascular veins in chest. Precapillary sphincters can shut down blood capillary, blood then flows through shunt. Most common cause of death in western world. High bp, blood moves through vessels at higher than normal rate due to arterial plaque. Plaque that can move to distant sites (embolus) Occurs when cranial artery is blocked or bursts. Part of brain dies due to lack of oxygen.
