BLOOD VESSELS ICD-10-CM BY BHARATH KUMAR MEDESUN STUDENT

1. BLOOD VESSELS

2. INTRODUCTION
 The blood vessels are the part of the circulatory
system that transports
blood throughout the human body.
 There are three major types of blood vessels
 Arteries, which carry the blood away from the heart

3.  capillaries which enable the actual exchange of water
and chemicals between the blood and the tissues
 veins which carry blood from the capillaries back
toward the heart.

4. LAYERS OF BLOOD VESSELS
 Tunica intima thinnest layers
 Tunica media thickest layer of the arteries
 Tunica adventitia thickest layer of the vein
 Capillaries consist of little more than a layer
of endothelium and occasional connective tissue.

5.  When blood vessels connect to form a region of
diffuse vascular supply it is called an anastomosis
 Anastomoses provide critical alternative routes for
blood to flow in case of blockages.

6. TYPES OF BLOOD VESSELS
 Arteries
 Elastic arteries
 Distributing arteries
 Arterioles
 Capillaries (the smallest blood vessels)
 Venules
 Veins

7.  Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds
up inside your arteries.
 Bypass grafting is also known as coronary artery
bypass grafting
 Is a type of surgery that improves blood flow to the
heart
 Aortic aneurysm is a stretched and bulging section in
the wall of the aorta.
