Chapter 2 - Cardiovascular Physiology: Function

The system that is responsible for the preparation of the body for physical activity is the:

• Central Nervous System

• Peripheral Nervous System

• Parasympathetic Nervous System

• Sympathetic Nervous System

The term that defines the volume of blood pumped out of one ventricle of the heart in a single beat or contraction is:

• Preload Volume

• Cardiact Volume

• Input volume

• Stroke Volume

The effect of alpha stimulation causes:

• Increased Bronchial Dilation

• Decreased Heart Rate

• Increased Blood Pressure

• Decreased Blood Pressure

The system that is responsible for regulating the calmer functions of our existence is the:

• Sympathetic Nervous System

• Peripheral Nervous system

• Parasympathetic Nervous System

• All of the above

The valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries is termed the:

• Pulmonic Semilunar Valve

• Mitral Semilunar Valve

• Aortic Semilunar Valve

• Bicuspid Semilunar Valve

The only vein that carries oxygenated blood is the:

• Lateral Marginal Vein

• Inferior Vena Cava

• Great Cardiac Vein

• Pulmonary Vein

Blood pressure is affected by peripheral vascular resistance and cardiac:

• Input

• Preload

• Stimulation

• Output

The _______ is directly affected by the exact volume of blood that returns to the right atrium.

• Postload

• Preload

• Afterload

• Middleload

All of the following are signs of inadequate cardiac output EXCEPT:

• Low Blood Pressure

• Dizziness

• Hypertension

• Shortness of Breath

Acetylcholine is the chemical neurotransmitter for the ________ nervous system.

• Peripheral

• Parasympathetic

• Sympathetic

• None of the Above
