Document Summary

A: endothelium, vascular sm, parenchyma, how adenosine is produced from these cells and gets released into interstitial space and can diffuse or be transported by carriers to vascular sm cells and combined with adenosine receptor in parenchyma there is a series of enzymes. B. left side systemic right side pulmonary: single pathway from left to right side through pulmonary capillaries a, most complicated pathway is box 4, capillaries arranged in both series and parallel. D. liver has a portal spike blood supply: blood supplied to the liver has already passed through one capillary bed, altered significantly before it reaches the liver, make up blood vessels, endothelial cells are the cells lining the wall, elastic fibers, smooth muscle, collagen fibers, wall diameter ratio, determines how much blood flow passes through that vessel, greater the wall to lumen ratio, the more force that vessel can generate when it contracts.
