Answer 1

Veins

Question 2

Deoxygenated blood int he fetal circulation is carried in the ____, while oxygenated blood is carried in the ________.

Answer 2

umbilical artery, umbilical vein

Question 3

Increased levels of epinephrine cause

Answer 3

an increase in systemic blood pressure due to net vasoconstriction.

Question 4

An increase in venous return most directly affects

Answer 4

Stroke Volume

Question 5

Increased levels of aldosterone cause

Answer 5

an increase in venous return because more water is reabsorbed into the blood from the kidneys to increase total blood volume.

Question 6

Blood flow increases if

Answer 6

Vasodilation Increases

Question 7

Blood flows most slowly through ______

Answer 7

capillaries because their total cross-sectional area is the largest.

Question 8

Identify the following under normal conditions

Answer 8

17mm Hg

35 mm Hg

Question 9

If blood hydrostatic pressure equals 30 mm Hg, blood colloid osmotic pressure equalls 26 mm Hg, interstitial fluid osmotic pressure equals 5 mm Hg, and interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure equals 2 mm hg, the net fitration pressure will

Answer 9

tend to filter fluid and solutes

Question 10

Standing still for long periods may decrease cardiac output because ______

Answer 10

venous return decreases due to lack of skeletal muscle pumping of veins, so stroke volume drops.

Question 11

“Ace inhibitors” work as antihypertensive drugs by

Answer 11

decreasing angiotensin ii formation

Question 12

The blood vessels that serve the blood vessel walls are called the __________.

Answer 12

Vasa Vasorum

Question 13

Define blood pressure. Differentiate between systolic and diastolic blood pressure. What is the normal pressure value for a young adult?

Answer 13

the pressure of blood against the walls of any blood vessel. the maximum or systolic pressure occurs near the end of the stroke output of the left ventricle, and the minimum or diastolic late in ventricular diastole. The normal blood pressure in a young adult is 120/80.

Question 14

What is the difference between primary hypertension and secondary hypertension?

Answer 14

Primary, or essential, hypertension, indicates that the condition originated within the body and not as a result of a disease, and no cause for it can be determined.

Secondary hypertension develops as a result of a condition or disease within the body.

Question 15

List 5 factors that contribute to hypertension.

Answer 15

1) obesity,2) smoking 3 )lack of physical activity

4) vitamin D deficiency 5) diabetes

Question 16

How are nutrients, wastes, and respiratory gasses transported to and from the blood and tissue spaces?

Answer 16

Capillaries
