What are the vessels layers in order from Inside out?
Definition
Tunica Interna, Tunica Media, and Tunica Externa.
Term
What vessel layer is made up of an Endothelium, Subendothelial layer and Internal Elastic Lamina?
Definition
Tunica Interna
Term
What vessel layer contains the External Elastic Lamina?
Definition
Tunica Media
Term
What vessel layer does an aneurysm affect?
Definition

Term
What is a Lumen?
Definition
A passage or space.
Term
Name three things that increase dilation?
Definition
Increase in Temperature, release of histamine, and Nitrous Oxide.
Term
Name two things that increase constriction?
Definition
Decrease in temperature and Smoking.
Term
What are three difference between Arterial and Venial anatomy?
Definition
Vein's have a larger lumen and back flow valves. Arteries have a larger Tunica Media.
Term

Definition
Tunica Media
Term

Partial Pressure
Term
Is surfactant good to put between the diaphragm and the rib cage? Why or Why Not?
Definition
Surfactant is not good between the diaphragm and rib cage because surface tension is needed in that area for breathing.
Term
What three things reduce lung flexibility (Distendability)?
Definition
1) Scar Tissue
2) Ossification of ribs (makes them harder)
3) Low surfactant levels
Term

Definition
Is the measure of change in Lung Volume relative to applied change in pressure.
It measures lung elasticity.
