Quiz 2 Review Flashcards
What phases of the cardiac cycle will cause an increase in venous return?
- Atrial Contraction and closing of the AV valves
- Atrial Contraction and opening of the AV valves
- Ventricular contraction and closing of the AV valves
- Ventricular contraction and opening of the AV valves
D) Ventricular contraction and opening of the AV valves
Which pressure determines the cross sectional shape of the vein?
Transmural
What is the average venous hydrostatic pressure in a supine individual at the angles?
15mmHG ( because the person is in supine)
What is the ebb and flow of venous blood in response to normal respiration called?
Respirophasicity
Which of the following angles will result in the largest doppler shift?
- 0 degrees
- 30 degrees
- 45 degrees
- 90 degrees
0 degrees because cos0 is 1
