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
