28
Q

An excess of Carbon Dioxide in the blood is known as?

A

Hypercapnia

29
Q

Place the blood vessels in order from Highest blood pressure to lowest

A

Aorta, Systemic Artery, Capillary, Venule, Systemic vein

30
Q

A thrombosis (blood clot) can cause what?

A

Ischemia (insufficient perfusion)

31
Q

As blood flows through vessels in encounters forces caused by several factors that impede its movement. This opposition to blood flow is called?

A

Peripheral Resistance

32
Q

What layer of the blood vessel wall contains smooth muscle and is responsible for enacting vasomotion?

A

Tunica Media

33
Q

What are the chemicals given off by the systemic capillary blood to the peri vascular tissues?

A

Antibodies, Hormones, Oxygen, and Glucose

34
Q

Term that refers to the narrowing of blood vessels caused by contraction of smooth muscle cells in the tunica media

A

Vasoconstriction

35
Q

What are the substances that leave the blood by diffusing directly through the plasma membrane of endothelial cells?

A

Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Steroid hormones

36
Q

Describe the general process of capillary fluid exchange

A

Fluid moves out of a capillary bed at the arterial end, exchanges materials with the tissue cells, then renters the blood at the venous end

37
Q

A general insufficient flow of blood to a tissue is called?

A

Ischemia

38
Q

Blood Colloid Osmotic pressure (COP) is primarily determined by what protein?

A

Albumin

39
Q

What are the functions of vasoreflexes?

A

They modify perfusion to an organ or tissue and they help regulate blood pressure

40
Q

What condition presents a threat of suffocation as fluid replaces air in the lungs?

A

Pulmonary Edema

41
Q

T or F: Capillary exchange is a 2 way movement of fluids and substances

A

True

42
Q

Possible consequences of cerebral edema

A

Headaches, nausea, seizures, delirium

43
Q

What can diffuse directly across the plasma membrane without the help of membrane channels, filtration pores, or intercellular clefts?

A

Oxygen

44
Q

Interstitial fluids typically enter the venous end of a capillary bed via which process?

A

Osmosis

45
Q

Which force opposes hydrostatic pressure along with the capillary and interstitial pressures?

A

Colloid osmotic pressure

47
Q

What can cause systemic edema?

A

49
Q

Term that refers to the flow of blood back to the heart?

A

Venous return

50
Q

List the reasons venous return increases during exercise

A

The skeletal muscle pump

Q

Which type of shock results from exposure to an antigen to which a person is allergic, which causes generalized vasodilation and increased capillary permeability?

A

Anaphylactic shock

55
Q

Brief episodes of cerebral ischemia produce which of the following?

A

Arterioles

What type of shock is caused by inadequate pumping of the heart?

A

Cardiogenic Shock

58
Q

What type of shock occurs when bacterial toxins trigger vasodilation and increased capillary permeability?

A

Septic Shock

Q

In skeletal muscles, most of the capillary beds are shut down at rest. Which type of vessel is therefore constricted at rest?

A

Arterioles

62
Q

List in order the vessels an RBC travels in the pulmonary circuit from the right ventricle to the left atrium
