between blood and the walls of blood vessels

Answer 13

VASCULAR RESISTANCE

Question 14

Is the volume of blood flowing back to the heart
through the systemic veins

contractions of the heart’s left ventricle

Answer 14

VENOUS RETURN

Question 15

Time required for a drop of blood to pass from the
right atrium, through the pulmonary circulation,
back to left atrium, through the systemic
circulation down to the foot, and back again to the
tight atrium. In a resting person, circulation time
is normally about 1 minute.

Answer 33

Vascular shock

Question 34

due to obstruction of blood
flow

Answer 34

Obstructive shock

Question 35

Shock: Signs and Symptoms of Shock

Answer 35

• Systolic blood pressure is lower than 90 mmHg.
• Resting heart rate is rapid due to sympathetic
  stimulation and increased blood levels of epinephrine
  and norepinephrine.
• Pulse is weak and rapid due to reduced cardiac
  output and fast heart rate.
• Skin is cool, pale, and clammy due to sympathetic
  constriction of skin blood vessels and sympathetic
  stimulation of sweating.
• Mental state is altered due to reduced oxygen supply
  to the brain.
• Urine formation is reduced due to increased levels of
  aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
• The person is thirsty due to loss of extracellular fluid.
• The pH of blood is low (acidosis) due to buildup of
  lactic acid.
• The person may have nausea because of impaired
  blood flow to the digestive organs from sympathetic
  vasoconstriction.
