what is cardiac output
heart rate x stroke volume
allows 1 way transmission
chemical transmission
multiple sclerosis
autoimmune condition; may be initiated by viral infection; inflammation of brain and spinal cord;
myelin sheath
superior vena cava
returns blood from body regions to right atrium
The ability of hemoglobin to bind to O 2 is influenced by
partial pressure of O2
