Exam 8: Vascular Physiology

Indicate whether arteriolar vasoconstriction or vasodilation would occur in the tissue in question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all): -occlusion of an artery supplying a particular tissue

What does a sudden increase in pressure within the carotid sinus lead to?

What are the roles of the lymphatic system in relation to the cardiovascular system?

Indicate whether arteriolar vasoconstriction or vasodilation would occur in the tissue in question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all): -sympathetic stimulation of kidney arterioles

Choose the appropriate letter from the answer code to make the statement correct. -Increased venous radius ____________________ the blood flow through the vein.

Which organ receives the most blood flow at rest?

Vasoconstriction refers to a decrease in the radius of a vessel.

When will reabsorption occur?

Choose the appropriate letter from the answer code to make the statement correct. -Increased parasympathetic nerve activity ____________________ the strength of cardiac ventricular contraction.

What happens when blood pressure becomes elevated above normal?

Mean arterial pressure = ______________________________.

The greatest pressure drop in the vascular system occurs within the capillaries due to fluid leaving the capillaries by the process of ultrafiltration.

Indicate what effect the changes in question would have on blood flow, by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all): -increasing the length of a vessel

Indicate whether arteriolar vasoconstriction or vasodilation would occur in the tissue in question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all): -application of ice to a sprained ankle

The interstitial fluid is not part of the ECF.

Which of the following is correct for vasoconstriction?

Choose the appropriate letter from the answer code to make the statement correct. -Decreased arteriolar radius ____________________ the blood flow through the arteriole.

Which of the following is correct for the process of ultrafiltration?

For a blood pressure reading of 136/78,78 refers to the diastolic pressure.

Indicate whether arteriolar vasoconstriction or vasodilation would occur in the tissue in question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all): -norepinephrine on cerebral arterioles
