3. 3. Preload :Preload : the filling of the ventricles at the filling of the ventricles at the end of diastole. The more the the end of diastole. The more the ventricles fill, the more the cardiac ventricles fill, the more the cardiac muscles are stretched, and the greater the muscles are stretched, and the greater the force of the contraction during systole force of the contraction during systole (Starling’s Law). If there is a decrease in (Starling’s Law). If there is a decrease in contractility and in cardiac output.contractility and in cardiac output.

The Cardiovascular SystemThe Cardiovascular System
The The lymphatic system lymphatic system also is part of the also is part of the vascular system and the function of this vascular system and the function of this system is to collect the extravasated fluid system is to collect the extravasated fluid from the tissues and returns it to the bloodfrom the tissues and returns it to the blood
Differences Between Blood Vessel Differences Between Blood Vessel TypesTypes
Slide 11.26Slide 11.26
Walls of arteries are the thickest
Lumens of veins are larger
Skeletal muscle “milks” blood in veins toward the heart
Walls of capillaries are only one cell layer thick to allow for exchanges between blood and tissue
Movement of Blood Through Movement of Blood Through VesselsVessels
Slide 11.27Slide 11.27
Most arterial blood is pumped by the heart
Veins use the milking action of muscles to help move blood

Arteriosclerosis of the extremities is a disease of the peripheral blood vessels that is characterized by narrowing and hardening of the arteries that supply the legs and feet. The narrowing of the arteries causes a decrease in blood flow. Symptoms include leg pain, numbness, cold legs or feet and muscle pain in the thighs, calves or feet.
