Smooth muscles of the blood vessels

Both arteries and veins are surrounded by smooth muscle tissue. The muscle layer around the arteries is thicker than around the veins and take care of blood transport.

Also see coronary arteries and coronary veins.

Themes

• Increase pf blood transport
• Strengthening of blood vessels, both arteries and veins.
  
  

CA phase

Functional increase, increase of muscle cells.
This program occurs in conjunction with the reduction of cells in the inner lining of the veins and arteries.

Biological purpose

Larger blood flow and the veins remain intact despite decrease of the inner lining (intima).

Symptoms

None. With prolonged conflict activity: aneurysm, possibly internal bleeding.

PCL phase

Athero- or arteriosclerosis. Reconstruction of the inner lining, the increase of muscles around the veins remains.

EC

Painful, "cramping" veins. "Vein Colic."

In case of hanging healing or many relapses: varicose veins.
