quiz 7 Flashcards
what is the fuction of an arteriole
regulate blood flow into tissue
how is fluid forced through capillaries
by filtration
why is filtration through capillaries important
its a way of moving material from blood to tissues
what is the function precapillary sphinter
regulate blood flow into a tissue
what does a precapillary sphinter consist of
a bulb at the end of a capillary that controls blood flow into capillaries
what is the difference between veno and vasoconstriction
vaso in artery veno in veins
what is the function of a vein
returns blood to the heart
what about the internal anatomy of a vein is large
the lumen is large
what does it mean that some veins have one way stop valves
have cup shaped valves to close and stop the flow of blood
is artery or vein system high pressure
artery is high pressure, vein is low pressure
what changes about the resistance in venoconstriction versus venodilation
the resistance levels do not change in veins
what kind of input controls venodilation or venoconstriction
sympathetic input
what controls venodilation or venoconstruction
CV center in the medulla
what is impacted most by venodilation and venoconstriction
resevoir capacity
what is venoconstriction
descrease resevoir, increase venous return
what is venodilation
increase resevoir, decrease venous return
which veno has the lower sympathetic activity
venodilation
how do veins have a low resistance
due to large lumen
what is a change in venous return correlated with in the heart
end diastolic volume
what are vericose veins due to
degredation of valves in veins
what increases venous return
venoconstriction
when is venoconstriction increased
when exercising
where is the majority of systemic blood located in the body
in the venous system
when is the majority of the blood not in the veins
when exercising (need to remove more co2 and bring in o2)
why can capillaries have a very small portion of blood
because they have a huge surface area to allow for gas exchange dynamics
surface area is directly proportional to _______
flow rate
what is the function of a peristaltic pump
continuous cycles
what has largest overall influence in blood pressure
diastole
what would the mean value for resting be if 120 and 80 and why
it would be 90 because diastole is more influential than systole
why are mammalian RBC shaped weird
due to endotermic needs due to oxygen demands that are critical for endothermy
how much of vertebrate blood is made of up formed elements
10-50%
what are the 3 cellular fractions to vertebrate blood
red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets
what is the dominant formed element in vertebrates
red blood cells
how many hemoglobin molecules are found in one RBC
270 million
what vertebrate fish lacks hemoglobin
channichthyidae
what carbon derivative is in red blood cells
carbonic anhydrase
how many RBC are in adult human
20-30 trillian (4-5million per cubic mm)
what happens to RBC when they mature
they eject their nucleus and become anucleate
what is the proper name for the shape of RBC
biconcave
what is the function of WBC
defense, phagocytosis (5 types)
what is the function of platelets
hemostasis
what are the two most common names for blood
blood or hemolymph
