carbon dioxide
steroid hormones
oxygen
choose the accurate statements regarding the effects of edema
- cerebral edema can produce headaches, nausea, and sometimes delirium, seizures, and coma
- as the tissues become congested with fluid, oxygen delivery, and waste removal are impaired and the tissues may begin to die
- pulmonary edema presents a threat of suffocation as fluid replaces air in the lungs
in what ways does the pulmonary circuit differ from the systemic circuit
- less fluid gets “left behind” in the lungs
- pulmonary arteries carry oxygen-rich blood and pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood
- pulmonary arteries have thinner, less elastic walls
- pulmonary arteries contract in response to local hypoxia
which of these arteries branch directly off the aortic arch
right subclavian
brachiocephalic trunk
left common carotid
left subclavian
brachiocephalic trunk
left common carotid artery
left subclavian artery
which of the following occur during a period of exercise
- the sympathetic nervous system can selectively reduce blood flow to the kidneys and digestive tract
- the sympathetic nervous system can increase perfusion of the skeletal muscles
- metabolite accumulation in a tissue can stimulate local vasodilation
arises from aorta
brachiocephalic artery
left common carotid artery
left subclavian artery

- lumbar veins
empties into other vessel
left brachiocephalic.
veins
- relatively larger lumen
- sites used for blood donation
- contain valves
- convergence
- relatively larger diameter
- superficial location
arteries
- divergence
- thicker layers of smooth muscle
- profuse elastic fibers in the tunica media
- relatively thicker walls
- external iliac artery
- femoral artery
- popliteal artery
- anterior tibial artery
- dorsal pedal artery
