The document discusses the structure of blood vessels, including the three layers - tunica interna, tunica media, and tunica externa. It describes the key components of each layer and how they vary across the different types of blood vessels - arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins. The structures are adapted to facilitate the transport and exchange of blood, nutrients and waste throughout the body.
The document summarizes the cardiovascular system, focusing on blood vessels. There are five main types of blood vessels - arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, branching into smaller arterioles and then capillaries where gas and nutrient exchange occurs. Capillaries then join to form venules and veins to return deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Each vessel type has a distinct layered structure and role in regulating blood flow and pressure throughout the body.
The circulatory system transports fluids throughout the body;
it consists of the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems.
The heart and blood vessels make up the blood transportation network, the cardiovascular system.
Through this system, the heart pumps blood through the body’s vast system of blood vessels.
The blood carries nutrients, oxygen, and waste products to and from the cells.
VASCULAR CIRCUITS
The heart consists of two muscular pumps dividing the circulation into two components:
pulmonary circulations
systemic circulations or circuit
Pulmonary Circulation
Rt ventricle propels low O2 blood into the lungs via the pulmonary arteries.
CO2 is exchanged for O2 in the capillaries of the lungs.
Then the O2 -rich blood is returned via the pulmonary veins to the Lft atrium.
This circuit, from the right ventricle through the lungs to the left atrium, is the pulmonary circulation.
Systemic Circulation
Left ventricle propels the O2 -rich blood through systemic arteries (the aorta and its branches),
exchanging O2 and nutrients for CO2 in the remainder of the body’s capillaries.
Low- O2 blood returns to right atrium via systemic veins (tributaries of the superior and inferior vena cava).
This circuit, from left ventricle to right atrium, is the systemic circulation.
This document discusses the anatomy and function of arteries and arterioles. It defines arteries as blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, while arterioles are smaller vessels that branch off arteries and lead to capillaries. The document then describes the two types of arteries - elastic and muscular arteries - and provides examples of each. It also outlines the three layers (tunica) that make up the wall of arteries - the innermost intima layer, middle media layer, and outer adventitia layer. Finally, it states that arterioles have the greatest influence on local blood flow and overall blood pressure through their ability to variably contract.
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and blood vessels. The heart has four chambers - the right and left atria receive blood, and the right and left ventricles pump blood out. Blood flows through arteries, capillaries, and veins in a closed circuit. The heart is a muscular pump made of cardiac muscle that is located in the chest cavity. It is surrounded by membranes and tissues that protect it. Valves ensure blood flows in only one direction through the heart and vessels.

It is surrounded by layers including the outer fibrous pericardium, middle myocardial muscle layer, and inner endocardial lining. Blood flows from the heart through arteries and arterioles, into capillaries where gas exchange occurs, and returns to the heart through veins and venules. Valves in the heart and vessels ensure one-way blood flow. The cardiovascular system circulates blood to supply the body with oxygen and nutrients and remove waste.

The document discusses the circulatory system of the head and neck, including key arteries and structures:
- The common carotid artery divides into the external and internal carotid arteries, with the external supplying blood to the face and neck and the internal supplying the brain.
- Important structures along the carotid arteries include the carotid body, which detects changes in blood gases, and the carotid sinus, a baroreceptor site.
- Branches of the external carotid artery include the superior thyroid artery and branches that supply the face and pharynx. The internal carotid artery branches further within the skull to supply the brain.
The document summarizes the structure and function of the cardiovascular system. It describes the three main types of blood vessels - arteries, capillaries, and veins - and their roles in circulating blood throughout the body. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, branching into smaller vessels. Capillaries allow for exchange of oxygen, nutrients, waste at the cellular level. Veins then collect deoxygenated blood and return it to the heart. The document provides detailed information on the layers, tissue composition, and regulatory mechanisms of different sections of the cardiovascular system.

Introduction
Blood vessels form a closed system of tubes that carry blood away from the heart, transport it to the tissues of the body, and then return it to the heart.
The blood vessels of human body carry blood to every tissue and organ.
Vessels decrease in size as they move away from the heart (arteries and arterioles), ending in the capillaries, and then increase in size as they move towards the heart (venules and veins)
The largest artery in the blood is Aorta.
Types of blood vessels
1. Arteries
2. Arterioles
3. Capillaries
4. Venules
5. veins
The circulatory system comprises the blood and lymphatic vascular systems. The blood vascular system includes the heart, arteries, capillaries and veins. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart while veins return deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Capillaries allow for the exchange of water, oxygen and nutrients between blood and tissues. Both arteries and veins are composed of three layers - tunica intima, media and adventitia - though arteries have thicker muscular layers than veins to withstand higher blood pressures.
The document discusses the structure and function of blood vessels in the human body. It describes the three layers that make up the walls of arteries, and explains how arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to tissues. It then discusses how blood flows from arteries into capillaries, where gas exchange occurs, and then into veins which carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Several factors that aid the circulation of blood in veins are also listed.
The document provides an overview of blood vessels and circulation. It begins by listing chapter objectives related to describing the anatomical structures of different blood vessels and how blood flows through the cardiovascular system. It then describes the different types of blood vessels including arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins. It explains how blood is transported through the pulmonary and systemic circuits. Key details are provided on the structure and function of blood vessels, including the three tunics that make up their walls. Factors that affect blood flow, pressure and resistance are outlined. In addition, it discusses capillary exchange and the role of bulk flow in moving fluids into and out of capillary beds.
The document summarizes the cardiovascular system and its components. It describes the heart, arteries, veins, capillaries and their classifications. It discusses circulation patterns like systemic, pulmonary and portal circulation. It also covers topics like anastomoses, blood supply of arteries and veins, and clinical conditions like atherosclerosis and aneurysms.
The arterial system carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to tissues throughout the body. It is composed of arteries that decrease in size from the aorta to arterioles and then to capillaries. Arteries have several layers including the outer tunica externa, middle tunica media made of muscle and elastic tissue, and inner tunica intima of endothelial cells. The arterial system is divided into pulmonary arteries carrying blood to the lungs and systemic arteries delivering blood throughout the body. Capillaries allow for the exchange of gases, nutrients and waste between blood and tissues.

The circulatory system transports blood from the heart to the body and back again through a closed tubular network of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Capillaries connect the arteries and veins and facilitate the exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients and waste. The structure of blood vessels enables them to perform their unique functions in circulation and regulation of blood flow.
The document summarizes the structure and function of blood vessels. It describes the three main types of blood vessels - arteries, capillaries, and veins. It explains the layers (tunics) that make up blood vessel walls, and how they differ in each vessel type. It discusses the roles of elastic and muscular arteries in circulation. It also outlines neural, chemical, and renal mechanisms that regulate blood pressure through controlling vessel diameter and cardiac output.
There are three kinds of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Each of these plays a very specific role in the circulation process/blood circulation.
Arteries transport blood away from the heart.
Veins return blood back toward the heart.
Capillaries surround body cells and tissues to deliver and absorb oxygen, nutrients, and other substances.
The capillaries also connect the branches of arteries and to the branches of veins.
The walls of most blood vessels have three distinct layers: the tunica externa, the tunica media, and the tunica intima.
The document summarizes the structure and function of blood vessels. It describes the three layers (tunics) that make up arteries and veins, as well as the single-layered endothelium of capillaries. It then compares different types of blood vessels, including elastic and muscular arteries, arterioles, venules and veins. It discusses the roles of each in conducting blood away from the heart in arteries and returning it to the heart in veins. It also describes the structure of capillaries and their role in exchanging materials with tissues.
The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of blood vessels and circulation. It describes the three main classes of blood vessels - arteries, capillaries and veins. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, branching into smaller vessels called arterioles which feed into capillaries. Capillaries allow for gas and nutrient exchange. Veins then return blood from the capillaries to the heart. The document outlines the layers of blood vessels called tunics and discusses specifics of arteries, capillaries and veins. It also mentions blood pressure and the circle of Willis cerebral artery anastomosis.
Blood vessels are composed of three layers called tunics. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to tissues and have thick muscular walls to withstand high blood pressures. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart and have thinner walls. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels that connect arterioles and venules, allowing for exchange of water, oxygen and nutrients between blood and tissues. They come in three types - continuous, fenestrated and sinusoidal - with different permeability properties to meet the needs of different tissues. Capillary exchange involves diffusion of substances and ultrafiltration of fluid across the capillary walls.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

2. INTRODUCTION
The cardiovascular system contributes to homeostasis of our body
systems by transporting and distributing blood throughout the body to
deliver materials like oxygen, nutrients, and hormones, etc.
The structure involved in these important tasks are the blood vessels,
which form a closed system of tubes that carries blood away from the
heart, transport it to the tissues of the body, and then returns it to the
heart. The left side of the heart pumps blood through an estimated
100,000 km of blood vessels. The right side of the heart pumps blood
through the lungs, enabling blood to pick up oxygen and unload carbon
dioxide.
3. BLOOD VESSELS
The blood vessels are the components of the
circulatory system that transport throughout the human
body. These vessels transport blood cells, nutrients,
and oxygen to the tissues of the body. They also take
waste and carbon dioxide away from the tissues.
4. BASIC STRUCTUTRE OF BLOOD
VESSELS
• The wall of a blood vessel consists of three tunics, of different tissues: an
endothelial inner lining, a middle layer consisting of smooth muscle and elastic
connective tissue, and a connective tissue outer covering.
• From innermost to outermost, the three structural layers of a generalized
blood vessel are the tunica interna (intima), tunica media, and tunica externa.
• Subtle modifications of this basic design account for the five different types of
blood vessels and the structural and functional differences among the various
vessel types. It will be easier to learn the structures of the various vessels if
you remember that structural variations are correlated to differences in function
throughout the cardiovascular system.
5. TUNICA INTIMA
The tunica interna (intima innermost) forms the inner lining of a blood
vessel and is in direct contact with the blood as it flows through the
lumen, or interior opening, of the vessel.
Its innermost layer is called endothelium, which is continuous with the
endocardial lining of the heart. The endothelium is a thin layer of
flattened cells that lines the inner surface of the entire cardiovascular
system.
Endothelial cells are active participants in a variety of vessel related
activities, including physical influences on blood flow, secretion of locally
acting chemical mediators that influence the contractile state of the
vessel’sassistance with capillary permeability.
6. CONT.
In addition, their smooth luminal surface facilitates efficient blood
flow by reducing surface friction.
Also provide resilience for stretching and recoil.
The outermost part of the tunica interna, which forms the
boundary between the tunica interna and tunica media, is the
internal elastic lamina (lamina thin plate). The internal elastic
lamina is a thin sheet of elastic fibers with a variable number of
window-like openings that give it the look of Swiss cheese. These
openings facilitate diffusion of materials through the tunica interna
to the thicker tunica media.
7.
8. TUNICA MEDIA
The tunica media (media middle) is a layer composed of
muscular and connective tissue. This layer displays the
greatest variation among the different vessel type.
In most vessels, it is a relatively thick layer comprised
mainly of smooth muscle cells and substantial amounts of
elastic fibers.
The primary role is to regulate the diameter of the lumen
wall. As you will learn in more detail shortly, the rate of blood
flow through different parts of the vascular network is
regulated by the extent of smooth muscle contraction in the
walls of particular vessels.
9. CONT.
Muscle contraction in particular vessel types is crucial in the regulation of blood
pressure. In addition to regulating blood flow and blood pressure, smooth muscle
contracts when an artery or arteriole is damaged (vascular spasm) to help limit loss of
blood through the injured vessel if it is small. Smooth muscle cells also produce the
elastic fibers within the tunica media that allow the vessels to stretch and recoil under
the applied pressure of the blood.
The external elastic lamina, forms the outer part of the tunica media and separates the
tunica media from the outer tunica externa. Sympathetic fibers of the autonomic
nervous system innervate the smooth muscle of blood vessels. An increase in
sympathetic stimulation typicallystimulates the smooth muscle to contract, squeezing
the vessel wall and narrowing the lumen. Such a decrease in the diameter of the
lumen of a blood vessel is called vasoconstriction. In contrast, when sympathetic
stimulation decreases, in the presence of certain chemicals (such as nitric oxide, lactic
acid), or in response to the pressure of blood, smooth muscle fibers relax. The
resulting increase in lumen diameter is called vasodilation.
10. TUNICA EXTERNA
o The outer covering of a blood vessel, the tunica externa (externa
outermost), consists of elastic and collagenous fibers.
o It ranges in size from a thin connective tissue wrapping to the thickest
layer of the blood vessel.
o The tunica externa contains numerous nerves and, especially in larger
vessels, tiny blood vessels that supply the tissue of the vessel wall.
These small vessels that supply blood to the tissues of the vessel are
called vasa vasorum, or vessels to the vessels.
o They are easily seen on large vessels such as the aorta.

13. ARTERIES
Arteries were found empty at death, in ancient times they
were thought to contain only air. Like other blood vessels,
the wall of an artery has three layers, but the tunica
media may be thicker or more elastic as outlined in the
following discussion.
Due to their plentiful elastic fibers, arteries normally have
high compliance, which means that their walls stretch
easily or expand without tearing in response to a small
increase in pressure.
14. ELASTIC ARTERIES
Elastic arteries are the largest arteries in the body, ranging
from the garden hose sized aorta and pulmonary trunk to the
finger-sized branches of the aorta. They have the largest
diameter among arteries, but their vessel walls
(approximately one-tenth of the vessel’s total diameter) are
relatively thin compared to the overall size of the vessel.
These vessels are characterized by well-defined internal and
external elastic laminae, along with a thick tunica media that
is dominated by elastic fibers, the elastic lamellae.
15. MUSCULAR ARTERIES
Medium-sized arteries are called muscular arteries
because their tunica media contains more smooth
muscle and fewer elastic fibers than elastic arteries.
Thus, muscular arteries are capable of greater
vasoconstriction and vasodilation to adjust the rate
of blood flow.
E.g., radial artery and splenic artery.
16. ANASTOMOSIS
Most tissues of the body receive blood from more than one artery.
The union of the branches of two or more arteries supplying the
same body region is called an anastomosis.
Anastomoses between arteries provide alternative routes for
blood to reach a tissue or organ. If blood flow stops momentarily
when normal movements compress a vessel, or if a vessel is
blocked by disease, injury, or surgery, then circulation to a part of
the body can continue. The alternative route of blood flow to a
body part through an anastomosis is known as collateral
circulation. Anastomoses may also occur between veins and
between arterioles.
17. ARTERIOLES
Literally meaning “small arteries,” arterioles are abundant
microscopic vessels that regulate the flow of blood into the
capillary networks of the body’s tissues.
The approximately 400 million arterioles have diameters that
range in size from 15 m to 30 m. The wall thickness of
arterioles is one-half of the total vessel diameter.
Arterioles have a thin tunica interna with a thin internal elastic
lamina containing small pores that disappears at the terminal
end.
18. CONT.
The tunica media consists of one to two layers of smooth muscle
cells having a circular (rather than longitudinal) orientation in the
vessel wall. The terminal end of the arteriole, the region called the
metarteriole, tapers toward the capillary junction. At the
metarteriole–capillary junction, the most distal muscle cell forms
the precapillary sphincter, which monitors the blood flow into the
capillary; the other muscle cells in the arteriole regulate resistance
(opposition to blood flow).
Since arterioles play a key role in regulating blood flow from
arteries into capillaries by regulating resistance, they are known as
resistance vessels. In a blood vessel, resistance is due mainly to
friction between blood and the inner walls of blood vessels.
19. CONT.
• When blood vessel diameter is smaller, the friction is greater,
so there is more resistance. Contraction of arteriolar smooth
muscle causes vasoconstriction, which further increases
resistance and decreases blood flow into capillaries supplied
by that arteriole. By contrast, relaxation of arteriolar smooth
muscle causes vasodilation, which decreases resistance and
increases blood flow into capillaries. A change in arteriole
diameter can also affect blood pressure.
• Vasoconstriction of arterioles increases blood pressure, and
vasodilation of arterioles decreases blood pressure.
20. CAPILLARIES
Capillaries (capilluslittle hair), the smallest of blood vessels,
have diameters of 5–10mm, and form the “U-turns” that
connect the arterial outflow to the venous return.
Since red blood cells have a diameter of 8 m, they must often
fold upon themselves in order to pass single file through the
lumens of these vessels.
The flow of blood from a metarteriole through capillaries and
into a postcapillary venule (a venule that receives blood from
a capillary) is called the microcirculation (microsmall) of the
body.
21. CONT.
Body tissues with high metabolic requirements, such as muscles, the
brain, the liver, the kidneys, and the nervous system, use more O2 and
nutrients and thus have extensive capillary networks. Tissues with lower
metabolic requirements, such as tendons and ligaments, contain fewer
capillaries. Because capillary walls are composed of only a single layer
of endothelial cells and a basement membrane, a substance in the
blood must pass through just one cell layer to reach the interstitial fluid
and tissue cells.
However, when a tissue is active, such as contracting muscle, the entire
capillary network fills with blood. Throughout the body, capillaries
function as part of a capillary bed, a network of 10–100 capillaries that
arises from a single metarteriole. In most parts of the body, blood can
flow through a capillary network from an arteriole into a venule as
follows:
22. 1. CAPILLARIES:
In this route, blood flows from an arteriole into capillaries and
then into venules (postcapillary venules). When the precapillary
sphincters are relaxed (open), blood flows into the capillaries;
when precapillary sphincters contract (close or partially close),
blood flow through the capillaries ceases or decreases.
Typically, blood flows intermittently through capillaries due to
alternating contraction and relaxation of the smooth muscle of
metarterioles and the precapillary sphincters. This intermittent
contraction and relaxation, which may occur 5 to 10 times per
minute, is called vasomotion.
23.
24. 2. THOROUGHFARE
CHANNEL:
The proximal end of a metarteriole is surrounded by
scattered smooth muscle fibers whose contraction and
relaxation help regulate blood flow. The distal end of
the vessel, which has no smooth muscle and
resembles a capillary, is called a thoroughfare channel.
Such a channel provides a direct route for blood from
an arteriole to a venule, thus bypassing capillaries.
25. TYPES OF CAPILLARIES
The body contains three different types of capillaries:
continuous capillaries, fenestrated capillaries, and sinusoids.
Most capillaries are continuous capillaries, in which the
plasma membranes of endothelial cells form a continuous
tube that is interrupted only by intercellular clefts, gaps
between neighbouring endothelial cells.
Continuous capillaries are found in the central nervous
system, lungs, skin, skeletal and smooth muscle, and
connective tissues.
26. CONT.
Sinusoids: a small irregular blood vessel found in organs, especially in
liver.
Fenestrated capillaries: These are “leakier” than continuous capillaries. They contain
small pores, in addition to small gaps between cells, in their walls that allow for the
exchange of larger molecules.
• Examples of these areas include:
• The small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed from food
• The kidneys, where waste products are filtered out of the blood
27.
28. VENULES
Venules drain the capillary blood and begin the return flow of
blood back toward the heart. Because they carry blood
toward the heart, veins are referred to as afferent vessels. As
noted earlier, venules that initially receive blood from
capillaries are called postcapillary venules.
They are the smallest venules, measuring 10 m to 50 m in
diameter. Because they are the weakest endothelial contacts
encountered along the entire vascular tree, venules are very
porous.
29. CONT.
They function as significant sites of exchange of nutrients
and wastes and white blood cell emigration, and for this
reason form part of the microcirculatory exchange unit
along with the capillaries.
The thin walls of the postcapillary and muscular venules
are the most distensible elements of the vascular system;
this allows them to expand and serve as excellent
reservoirs for accumulating large volumes of blood.
30.
31. VEINS
While veins do show structural changes as they
increase in size from small to medium to large, the
structural changes are not as distinct as they are in
arteries.
Veins, in general, have very thin walls relative to their
total diameter. They range in size from 0.5 mm in
diameter for small veins to 3 cm in the large superior
and inferior venae cava entering the heart.
32. CONT.
Although veins are composed of essentially the same three
layers as arteries, the relative thicknesses of the layers are
different. The tunica interna of veins is thinner than that of
arteries; the tunica media of veins is much thinner than in
arteries, with relatively little smooth muscle and elastic fibers.
The tunica externa of a vein is its thickest layer and consists
of collagen and elastic fibers.
Veins lack the external or internal elastic laminae found in
arteries. They are distensible enough to adapt to variations in
the volume and pressure of blood passing through them, but
are not designed to withstand high pressure.
33. CONT.
The contraction of skeletal muscles in the free lower limbs
also helps boost venous return to the heart.
The average blood pressure in veins is considerably lower
than in arteries. Because of the difference in pressure, it is
easy to tell whether a cut vessel is an artery or a vein. Blood
leaves a cut vein in an even, slow flow but spurts rapidly from
a cut artery.
34. CONT.
Many veins, especially those in the limbs, also contain
valves, thin folds of tunica interna that form flaplike cusps.
The valve cusps project into the lumen, pointing toward the
heart. The low blood pressure in veins allows the flow of
blood returning to the heart to slow and even back up; the
valves aid in venous return by preventing backflow. Veins are
more numerous than arteries.
35. CONCLUSION
Blood vessels are needed to sustain the life
because all of the body’s tissues rely on
their functionality.
