Exam 30: Circulation of the Blood

The Latin word lamina means:

Arterial blood pressure is inversely related to blood volume.

In order for all the cells of the body to survive, blood supplies to all cells must be equal.

Which of the following factors would cause fluid to leave the blood vessel at the arterial end of the capillary?

If the stroke volume remains constant, parasympathetic stimulation of the heart will cause an increase in cardiac output.

Osmotic pressure tends to move plasma out of the capillary and into the tissues.

The resting cardiac output from the left ventricle is about 5 liters.

The popliteal pulse point is found on the anterior surface of the elbow.

The best description of pulse pressure is the:

Hydrostatic pressure tends to decrease from the arterial end of the capillary to the venous end of the capillary.

The difference between systolic and diastolic pressures is termed pulse pressure.

When trying to stop arterial bleeding by applying pressure, why is it necessary to apply pressure between the bleeding part and the heart?

Cardiac output is determined by the:

The primary fluid flow principle of circulation is based on all of the following except a fluid:

Which of the following factors would cause fluid to be reabsorbed into the blood vessel at the venous end of the capillary?

Exercise has little effect on cardiac output.

Peripheral resistance to blood flow comes about because of:

The chemoreceptors in the carotid bodies are particularly sensitive to:

Deep, rapid breathing will increase the return of blood to the heart.

The first Korotkoff sound indicates the diastolic blood pressure.
