Describe the differences between Arteries and Veins. Detail the
movement of blood and their structural differences. Tell me what
are 3 causes of high blood pressure and then tell me how this can
cause other health related issues in our bodies physiologically.
What would you tell your friend or family member if they had high
blood pressure to help them understand why they needed to change
their behavior?
Differentiate between arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Describe the three tunics of a typical blood vessel.
Describe the three types of arteries based on structure and
function.
What are the three main arterial sense organs, what do they
sense, and where are they found?
Describe the differences between a continuous capillary, a
fenestrated capillary and a sinusoid.

What...
Describe how veins, arteries, and tendons feel when
palpating them.Describe the proper way of inserting a butterfly needle
or winged infusion set for blood collection.
After reviewing, the arteries and veins structure, discuss the
function of each one of them, then debate with your fellow students
the location, structure, and the function of each type of the blood
capillaries.
Explain and provide details of the anatomic differences in arteries
versus veins and how this affects their physiological role in the
circulatory system of animals.
