Chapter 10 - Blood Vessels and Blood

Question 1

arteries

Answer 1

transport blood away from heart and branch into smaller vessels, forming arterioles

Question 2

arterioles

Answer 2

distribute blood to capillary beds, the sites of exchange with the body tissues

Question 3

capillary

Answer 3

microscopic channel that supplies blood to the tissues themselves (perfusion)

Question 4

venules

Answer 4

small veins that converge into larger veins

Question 5

vein

Answer 5

blood vessel that conduct blood toward the heart

Question 6

brachial artery

Answer 6

large artery in upper arm near bicep

Question 7

sphygmomanometer

Answer 7

blood pressure cuff attached to a measure device

Question 8

systolic pressure

Answer 8

arterial pressure resulting from ejection of blood during ventricular contraction or sysole

Question 9

diastolic pressure

Answer 9

arterial pressure of blood during ventricular relaxation

Question 10

cardiac output

Answer 10

measurement of blood flow from heart through the ventricles and usually measure in liters per minute

Question 11

hemopoiesis

Answer 11

process by which the body produces blood

Question 12

diapedesis

Answer 12

migration of blood cells through the intact walls of blood vessels into the surrounding tissue

atheroscleorsis

Answer 14

buildup of plaque in the walls of a vessel

Question 15

hypovolemic shock

Answer 15

caused by hemorrhage

Question 16

cardiogenic shock

Answer 16

inability of heart to maintain cardiac output

Question 17

vascular shock

Answer 17

arterioles lose their normal muscular tone and dilate dramatically

Question 18

Answer 18

severe allergic response

Question 19
