Exam 10: The Blood Vessels and Blood Pressure

If the blood pressure is recorded as 118/76, indicate the correct value of the pressure in question by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the following answer code: -What is the systolic pressure?

Which of the following is the correct relationship between pressure, flow, and resistance?

Indicate what effect the change in question would have on bulk flow using the answer code below: -rise in capillary blood pressure in connection with congestive heart failure

MATCHING Indicate which type of the vessel performs the function listed by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the answer code below. -Serve as low-resistance passageways from the heart to the tissues.

Which is true of blood pressure:

MATCHING Indicate which type of the vessel performs the function listed by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the answer code below. -Major resistive vessels.

The arterioles, capillaries, and venules are collectively referred to as the __________.

MATCHING Indicate which type of the vessel performs the function listed by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the answer code below. -Serve as low-resistance passageways from the tissues to the heart.

MATCHING Indicate which type of the vessel performs the function listed by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the answer code below. -Changes in the radius of this vessel type regulate the distribution of the cardiac output to various areas of the body.

Edema refers to excess interstitial fluid.

Describe how blood pressure is regulated.

As the total cross-sectional area of the vascular tree ____, the velocity of blood flow ____.

The following questions refer to the accompanying diagram of arteriole vasoconstriction and vasodilation. The diagram shows three state of arteriole tone. The top image labeled "A," shows normal tone. The other two panels labeled "B" and "C" show different state of arteriole tone. Match the statements below with the correct arteriole using A, B, and C. -Caused by decreased oxygen level

MATCHING Indicate which type of the vessel performs the function listed by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the answer code below. -Vessels that pick up fluid that is filtered but not reabsorbed.

Organs that recondition the blood

The extra fluid filtered but not reabsorbed at the capillary level is picked up by the lymphatics.

Which factor pulls fluid back into the blood?

Two functions of arteries are ____________________ and ____________________.

The greatest pressure drop in the vascular system occurs within the capillaries due to fluid leaving the capillaries by the process of ultrafiltration.

Increased respiration within a tissue leads to vasodilation of arterioles because
