question: Question 7
Please match the following vessel layers to their description:
Group of answer choices
tunica interna (intima)
[ Choose ] This muscular layer is only found in capillaries this layer has elastic fibers & smooth muscle, which is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system this thick outer layer has fibers (elastic & collagen) that run parallel to the the vessel this layer is the only one found in all vessels; made up of simple squamous epithelium
tunica media
[ Choose ] This muscular layer is only found in capillaries this layer has elastic fibers & smooth muscle, which is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system this thick outer layer has fibers (elastic & collagen) that run parallel to the the vessel this layer is the only one found in all vessels; made up of simple squamous epithelium
tunica externa (adventitia)
[ Choose ] This muscular layer is only found in capillaries this layer has elastic fibers & smooth muscle, which is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system this thick outer layer has fibers (elastic & collagen) that run parallel to the the vessel this layer is the only one found in all vessels; made up of simple squamous epithelium
Question 8

Group of answer choices
pressure decreases
pressure is held steady
pressure increases
Question 9
Please match the following vessels to their description:
Group of answer choices
arteries
[ Choose ] large lumens and valves characterized these vessels elastic conducting and muscular distributing vessels carry blood away from the heart major location of gas and nutrient exchange allow for alternative routes of blood flow
veins
[ Choose ] large lumens and valves characterized these vessels elastic conducting and muscular distributing vessels carry blood away from the heart major location of gas and nutrient exchange allow for alternative routes of blood flow
anastomoses
[ Choose ] large lumens and valves characterized these vessels elastic conducting and muscular distributing vessels carry blood away from the heart major location of gas and nutrient exchange allow for alternative routes of blood flow
