Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia - Blood vessel

The blood vessels are part of the circulatory system and function to transport blood throughout the body. The most important types, arteries and veins, are so termed because they carry blood away from or towards the heart, respectively. Blood vessel - Types. Blood vessels exist in varying calibers: Arteries Aorta (the largest artery, carries blood out of the heart) Branches of the aorta, such as the carotid artery, the subclavian artery, the celiac trunk, the mesenteric arteri ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia II - Blood vessel - Physiology

Blood vessels do not actively engage in the transport of the blood (they have no appreciable peristalsis), but arteries - and veins to a degree - can regulate their caliber by contraction of the muscular layer. This determines the blood flow to particular downstream organs, and is determined by the autonomic nervous system. Vasodilation and vasoconstriction are also used antagonistically as a method of thermoregulation in homeotherms. Oxygen (bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells) is the most critical nutrient carried by the blood. I ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia II - Glycogen storage disease type I - Metabolic pathophysiology

Glycogen storage disease type I - Normal carbohydrate balance and maintenance of blood glucose levels. Glycogen in liver and (to a lesser degree) kidneys serves as a form of stored, rapidly accessible glucose, so that the blood glucose level can be maintained between meals. For about 3 hours after a carbohydrate-containing meal, high insulin levels direct liver cells to take glucose from the blood, to convert it to glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), and to add the G6P molecules to the ends of chains of glycogen (glycogen synthesis). Excess G6P is also shunted into p ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia - Circulatory system

The circulatory system or cardiovascular system is the organ system which circulates blood around the body of most animals. Circulatory system - Types of circulatory systems. Circulatory system - Open circulatory system. The circulatory system of arthropods (for example, a grasshopper) and most mollusks is open, meaning that there are no capillaries and veins: one or more hearts pump the blood (more properly called hemolymph in this case) through the arteries to sp ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia - Angiogenesis

Angiogenesis is the physiological process involving the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels. Though there has been some debate over this, vasculogenesis is the term used for spontaneous blood-vessel formation. Angiogenesis is a normal process in growth and development, as well as in wound healing. However, this is also a fundamental step in the transition of tumors from a dormant state to a malignant state. Angiogenesis - Types of Angiogenesis. Angiogenesis - Sprouting An ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia - Artery

Arteries are muscular vessels that carry blood away from the heart to the tissues and organs of the body (The vessels which return blood to the heart are veins). The circulatory system is extremely important in sustaining life. Its proper functioning is responsible for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to all cells, as well as the removal of carbon dioxide, waste products, maintenance of optimum pH, and the mobility of the elements, proteins and cells, of the immune system. In First World countries the two leading causes of ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia - Angiogram

Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique in which an X-ray picture is taken to visualize the inner opening of blood filled structures, including arteries, veins and the heart chambers. Its name comes from the Greek words angeion, "vessel", and graphien, "to write or record". The X-ray film or image of the blood vessels is called an angiograph, or more commonly, an angiogram. The Portuguese physician and neurologist Egas Moniz, Nobel Prize winner in 1949, developed in 1927 th ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia - Aneurysm

An aneurysm (or aneurism) (from Greek ανευρυσμα, a dilatation) is a localized dilation or ballooning of a blood vessel by more than 50% of the diameter of the vessel. Aneurysms most commonly occur in the arteries at the base of the brain (the circle of Willis) and in the aorta (the main artery coming out of the heart) - this is an aortic aneurysm. The layer of the artery that is in direct contact with the flow of blood is the tunica intima, commonly called the intima. This layer is made up of mainly endot ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia - Capillary

Capillaries are the smallest of a body's blood vessels, measuring 5-10 μm. They connect arteries and veins, and most closely interact with tissues. Capillaries have walls composed of a single layer of cells, the endothelium. This layer is so thin that molecules such as oxygen, water and lipids can pass through them by diffusion and enter the tissues. Waste products such as carbon dioxide and urea can diffuse back into the blood to be carried away for removal from the body. Capillary permeability can be increased by the release of cer ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia - Diathermy

Diathermy is the use of electrical current in surgery as either a cutting tool or to cauterize blood vessels to stop bleeding. The invention of diathermy has made the work of surgeons much simpler by allowing them save time on hemostasis by burning off small arteries that would previously have had to be tied manually. There are two types of diathermy, monopolar and bipolar. Both types use electrical current, the dif ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia - Chilblain

A chilblain or pernio is an itchy purple red inflammation, that occurs when the small blood vessels below the skin are damaged usually due to exposure to cold weather. They are most common in the young and the elderly, and are more likely to occur in women. Nearly all chilblains heal without the need for treatment. They can be prevented by keeping the feet and hands warm in cold weather. A chilblain can chap, crack or ulcerate and then is known as a kibe. Brief description of Chilblain: Skin inflammation usually in cold weather in damp climates. Or if feet and hands get too warm. Parent types ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia II - Glycogen storage disease type I - Types of GSD I and molecular biology

Glucose-6-phosphatase is an enzyme located on the inner membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. The catalytic unit is associated with a calcium binding protein, and three transport proteins (T1, T2, T3) that facilitate movement of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), phosphate, and glucose (respectively) into and out of the enzyme. The most common forms of GSD I are designated GSD Ia and GSD Ib, the former accounting for over 80% of diagnosed cases and the latter for less than 20%. A few rarer forms have been described. GSD Ia results from mutat ...

Blood vessel - Types: Encyclopedia II - Glycogen storage disease type I - Treatment

The primary treatment goal is prevention of hypoglycemia and the secondary metabolic derangements by frequent feedings of foods high in glucose or starch (which is readily digested to glucose). To compensate for the inability of the liver to provide sugar, the total amount of dietary carbohydrate should approximate the 24-hour glucose production rate. The diet should contain approximately 65-70% carbohydrate, 10-15% protein, and 20-25% fat. At least a third of the carbohydrates should be supplied through the night, so that a young ...
