Question 19

if all neural input into the heart was removed what will happen?

Answer 19

increase in heart rate

Question 20

calculate cardiac output in a woman with mean arterial pressure of 85mm Hg, stroke volume of 75mL/beat, flow velocity of 500mm/sec, heart rate of 70 beats/min

Answer 20

5.25L/min

work: (70beat/min * 75mL/beat)/1000L/mL = 5.25L/min

osmotic pressure in the arterial and venous end of the capillary

Answer 21

same for both

Question 22

blood pressure in the arterial and venous end of the capillary

Answer 22

arteriole: higher than osmotic
venous: lower than osmotic

Answer 23

arteriole: 11mmHg out of cap
venous: 9mmHg into cap

the problem of insufficient surface area to volume ratio in mammals is primarily resolved by:
A). increasing speed of diffusion
B). increasing surface area in specific organ systems
C). regulating surface area by the nervous system

Answer 24

B). increasing surface area in specific organ systems

Question 25

explain how an increase in parasympathetic input to the heart will change the heart rate (mechanistically what produces the change in heart rate?)

Question 26

If the blood pressure drops below normal what directional changes will happen to.. heart rate stroke volume venous return parasympathetic activity sympathetic activity and epinephrine

Answer 26

heart rate increase stroke volume increase venous return increase parasympathetic activity decrease sympathetic activity and epinephrine increase

Question 27

explain the difference between anatomical dead space and residual volume

Question 28

Total ventilation volume: BLANK dead space ventilation: 4.5L/min alveolar ventilation: BLANK

Question 29

calculate the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level and on a high mountain (350mm Hg) sea level: high mountain:

Answer 29

sea level: 760mmHg * 0.21 = 159.6 mmHg high mountain: 350mmHg * 0.21 = 73.5mmHg need to know that O2 concentration is 21% and that normal atm is 760mmHg
