Within the circulatory system, which vesel type(s) have one way valves?
all
Within which vessel type does blood pressure drop rapidly?
capillaries, venules, veins, vena cavae

Which value (upper) tells you the pressure that the blood is under when the____
ventricles are contracted (systolic pressure)?
Which value (lower) tells you the presure that the blood is under when the
ventricles are relaxed (diastolic pressure)?

False
What function do the precapilary sphincters have?
the passage of blood into those branching caps. is regulated by these rings
What vessels are the points for blood pressure control within the body?
vasoconstriction and vasodilaton of the arterioles
Vasodilation of these vessels (opening) causes blood pressure within the system to ____
decrease
Say, someone has hyperventilated. The loss of CO2 caused by the hyperventilation causes a drop in blood pressure. The body would respond by
vasoconstriction of these vessels
Within the tissues, exchange occurs by
nerves and by horomoneslocal chemical signals.
Which of these processes is due to pressure differences -
capillary beds are the only vessels through which exchange occurs
At which end do you see a net movement of fluidout of the capillary and into the tissue?
venous
there is typically more movement of fluid into capillaries than out of them
false
Blood pressure forces fluid out of the capillary and____
osmotic pressure draws fluid into the vessel
_____ vessels drain interstitial fluid from the tissues
Lymph
Veins carry low pressure back to the heart. What organs help the veins move this blood
the skeletal muscle
When you stand very still for a long time, you may begin to feel faint why?
all the blood goes to your feet and away from the heart.
Remember that minerals, water, carbon dioxide and oxygen are all nutrients needed for plant growth.. what else is needed?
all kinds of nutrients
Macronutrients (needs a lot) are much larger than micronutrients (don't need as much).
False
what are the three types of bacteria that make nitrogen available for plants.
N-fixing, ammonifying, and nitrifying
Which type of bacteria decompose organic matter?
ammonifying
Which type of bacteria has a mutualistic relationship with legume plants?
