Hot

Answer 24

Above 38 degrees C

Question 25

Another word for blood pressure

Answer 25

Hydrostatic pressure

Question 26

Does vasodilation increase or decrease local blood pressure

Answer 26

Decrease

Question 27

Movement of blood from a higher hydrostatic pressure to a lower hydrostatic pressure

Answer 27

Derivation

Question 28

Redness of the skin In response to heat.

Answer 28

Passive hyperemia

Question 29

General effects of local heat

Answer 29

Hyperemia = vasodilation
Sedation/relaxation
Increased metabolism = Increased heart rate, Increased cellular activity, Blood pressure decreases
Relaxes muscles = Decreased muscle spasm and pain
Detoxification = Increased sweat production
