Nitric Oxide (NO), Cardivascular Drift, Endothelium Flashcards
1
Q
Nitric Oxide
A
cellular signaling molecule involved in many physiological process, including dilation of arterioles
-1 of 3 endothelium vasodilators blood flow regulators at rest and during exercise`
2
Q
Cardiovascular Drift
A
increased HR during exercise to compensate for decreased SV. Helps maintain cardiac output
-decrease SV = increase HR

Endothelium
A
innermost layer of the intima
