Exam 9: Vascular Physiology

Match the types of vessel, labelled a. through e., with the function(s) they perform. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.) -major resistive vessels

Which of these statements applies to veins

The skeletal muscle pump changes venous return by decreasing/ increasing it.

Match the effects, labelled a. through c., with the change(s). (Options may be used more than once or not at all.) -increasing the pressure gradient in a vessel

Decreased stroke volume _____ heart rate.

Match the effects, labelled a. through d., with the events in question. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.) -adrenalin release

Match the effects, labelled a. through d., with the events in question. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.) -release of renin

If the arterial blood pressure is recorded at 132/84, what is the mean arterial pressure

Blood flow is driven by osmotic pressure.

What does the myogenic response refer to

What force continues to drive blood through the vasculature during ventricular diastole

Which of these statements describes arteries

Primary hypertension refers to chronically elevated blood pressure of unknown origin.

The movements of fluid across the capillary wall depend on all the following EXCEPT

The vessels with the greatest total cross-sectional area are the arteries.

Using F = P/R, as resistance increases, the flow increases if the pressure is constant.

These conditions might cause hypertension, EXCEPT which one

Normally capillary filtration exceeds reabsorption by about ____________________ litres daily.

Arterial walls contain a thick layer of smooth muscle and an abundance of collagen and elastin fibres.

Movement of fluid from the interstitial fluid into the plasma is known as ____________________.
