Hegazy Dr. Heba Afifi  Learning Outcomes: Identify the major components of the vascular system, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, and describe their unique characteristics and functions. Understand the structure and function of the three layers of blood vessels (tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica adventitia) and their roles in maintaining vascular integrity and blood flow.  Blood Vessels They include: Arteries: Large arteries, medium sized arteries & arterioles. Veins: Large veins, medium sized veins & venules. Arterio-Venous Connections: Blood capillaries.  Arteries The walls of arteries are thicker than that of veins to withstand pulsatile flow and higher blood pressures. As arteries become smaller, wall thickness gradually decreases but the ratio of wall thickness to lumen diameter increases (i.e. relative lumen size decreases). Arteries are divided into three types according to size and function. 1. large elastic arteries (aorta and pulmonary arteries): the media is abundant in elastic fibers that allow it to expand with systole and recoil during diastole, thereby propelling blood forward  medium-sized muscular arteries (other aortic branches, e.g. coronary and renal arteries): the media is abundant in smooth muscle cells that vasoconstrict or vasodilate, thereby controlling lumen diameter and regional blood flow.  small arteries and arterioles (in the substance of organs and tissues): the media is abundant in smooth muscle cells that vasoconstrict or vasodilate; in vessels of this size, smooth muscle contraction causes dramatic changes in lumen diameter, thereby controlling systemic blood pressure as well as regional blood flow.  Medium-Sized Artery &Vein Simple squamous endotheliu Tunica m intima Internal Elastic lamina Smooth muscle Tunica media Tunica Elastic adventitia fibres  Medium-sized Artery Medium-sized Vein 1-Thick wall and narrow lumen 1-Thin wall and wide lumen 2.

Contains nerves, lymphatics & vasa vasorum  Vasa Vasorum: They are small arteries (blood vessel of the blood vessel) Site: present mainly in the adventitia of large blood vessels e.g. aorta and large veins). Funct: nourish the outer part of the vessel wall. * Lymphatic System Prof. Dr. Marwa G.A. Hegazy ILO’s (Lecture3) *Objective 3 – The student will be able to: Understand the structure and function of the lymphatic system, including lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid organs, and describe their roles in immune function.  *Lymphatic System * Lymphatic system is a network of vessels through which lymph drains from the tissues into the blood. *LYMPH - an extracellular fluid (ECF) similar to plasma; ECF is found in several places in the body: body tissues (ECF = interstitial fluid), blood (ECF = plasma), and lymphatic vessels (ECF = lymph) * our lymphatic system is a group of organs, vessels and tissues that protect you from infection and keep a healthy balance of fluids throughout your body.  *Lymphatic System: Pathways *Lymphatic capillaries *Extend into interstitial spaces *Permeable, thin walls pick up fluid, which become lymph *Delivers lymph to lymphatic vessels through afferent lymphatic vessels *Lymphatic vessels *Deliver lymph to lymph nodes *Cells in nodes can remove pathogens from lymph and start an immune response *Leaves nodes through them too. *Lymphatic System: Pathways (cont.) *Lymphatic trunks *Receive lymph from efferent lymphatic vessels *Deliver it to lymphatic ducts *Lymphatic collecting ducts *Thoracic duct *Left side of head and neck, left arm, left side of thorax, entire abdominopelvic area, and both legs *Right lymphatic duct *Right side of head and neck, right arm, and right side of chest  *LYMPH VESSELS (LYMPHATICS) some passes The When excess to blood tissue Lymph circulation surroundings reach the fluid vessels as tissue capillaries fluid (lymph) They are formed of : 1. Lymphatic capillaries. 2. Small and medium sized lymphatic vessels 3. Lymphatic duct Basic for physiotherapy 1 (Lecture2) Lymph node Primary Secondary Sites where B- & T- lymphocytes formed Sites where immune response occurs and and mature lymphocytes perform their function Bone marrow Lymph node Thymus Spleen Tonsils Payer's patches Appendix *LYPHATIC ORGANS (Immunological function).  * Functions of the Lymphatic System *Lymphatic vessels drain excess interstitial fluid from tissue spaces (distributed all over the body except nervous system has its own circulation CSF ). *Lymphatic vessels transport the lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins (A,D, E, K) absorbed by the GI tract to the blood. *Lymphatic tissue initiates highly specific responses directed against particular microbes or abnormal cells. Lymphocytes can recognize foreign cells, microbes, toxins and cancer cells.  * Tissue Fluid and Lymph *Lymph moves in response to: ✓contraction of surrounding skeletal muscles (veins return blood to the heart using a similar mechanism); like veins, lymph vessels have valves to keep the fluid moving in one direction ✓contraction of smooth muscle in wall of the lymphatic vessel ✓pressure changes in the thoracic cavity during respiration *Interstitial fluid *Fluid in spaces between cells that has leaked from blood capillaries and has not been picked up by body cells *High in nutrients, oxygen, and small proteins *Becomes lymph * Pushed through lymphatic vessels by squeezing action of neighboring skeletal muscles and breathing movement *References * https://youtu.be/cCPyWFK0IKs?feature=shared * https://youtu.be/o0-1OknbO3M?feature=shared  NEXT BONE TISSUE
