Capillaries |
The smallest type of blood vessel are |
|
Simple squamous epithelium |
The endothelium consists of |
|
Capillaries |
Exchange of nutrients and gases between the blood and tissues is the function of the |
|
Diffusion and bulk flow |
The two main methods of capillary exchange are |
|
-Contraction of the heart -skeletal muscle pump -respiratory pump |
Venous return is due to |
|
Capillaries |
Blood vessels composed of a single layer of endothelial cells and a basement membrane |
|
Blood viscosity, vessel length, and radius |
Blood resistance is related to |
|
cells of the heart and lowers blood pressure |
Atrial natriuretic peptide is released by what and does what |
|
-Increased levels of aldosterone -rapid resting heart rate -cool, pale skin -sweating -release of local vasodilators |
Symptoms of shock |
|
Increased cardiac rate Increased peripheral resistance Increased blood volume Increased water retention |
What can increase blood pressure? |
|
Medulla Oblongata |
Where is the cardiovascular center located? |
|
Aorta and internal carotid arteries |
Baroreceptors are located in the |
|
Renin Epinephrine Norepinephrine ADH |
Which hormones influence blood pressure? |
|
Pressure difference between abdominal and thoracic cavity |
The movement of blood from the abdominal veins into the thoracic veins is mostly due to |
|
The pulmonary circuit |
Blood flow from the heart to the lungs is called |
|
Arteriole end of the capillaries |
Gases and nutrients leave the blood at the |
|
Coronary artery |
What vessel sends blood to the heart myocardium from the aortaa |
|
Contractions of the precapillary sphincter of the Arterioles |
Blood flow through a particular tissue area is controlled bt |
|
FALSE |
Arteries are larger in diameter than veins is |
|
Subclavian vein |
The external jugular veins empty into the |
|
Coronary sinus |
The main vein draining blood from the heart tissue is the |
|
Hepatic circulation |
The blood rich in substances absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract is carried by the |
|
Systemic Circulation |
The circulatory route which brings blood to the tissues and back to the heart is the |
|
Aorta |
All systemic blood vessels branch from the |
|
Right ventricle to left atrium |
What describes pulmonary circulation |
|
Cardiac rate |
The pulse is a direct reflection of the |
|
Femoral artery |
Which blood vessel is not used to feel the pulse |
|
Blood |
The transport of respiratory gases between the lungs and body tissues is a function of the |
|
Medulla oblongata |
Respiratory centers are located in the |
|
Larynx |
Vocal chords are located in the |
|
Diffusion |
Gas exchange in the lungs happens by |
|
lower than the atmospheric pressure |
For air to enter the lungs during inspiration, the pressure inside the lungs must become |
|
Surfactant secreting cells |
Surfactant its produced by |
|
Hyaline cartilage |
The c shaped rings supporting trachea are made out of |
|
Pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles |
Order of respiratory structures |
|
Thyroid cartilage |
Other word for Adams Apple |
|
internal respiration |
Exchange of gases between blood and cells is called |
