arteries
veins
venules
capillaries
The blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood back to the heart
vena cava
pulmonary vein
pulmonary artery
hepatic portal vein
Which part of a blood vessel does blood flow in?
Artery
Lumen
Gap
Capillary wall
Which vessels maintain the highest blood pressure?
Veins
Capillaries
Arteries
How many layers of cells make up the wall of a capillary?
1
2
3

The highly branched nature of capillaries results in
the blood vessel being very delicate.
a high surface area for material exchange.
a slow blood flow to allow more time for material exchange.
all of the above.
Smooth muscles in arteries help
to push blood along through peristalsis.
to prevent the blood vessel from bursting.
to maintain blood pressure.
the blood vessel in elastic recoil in order to push the blood along during diastole.
Large amounts of elastic fibers help arteries to
not burst under high pressure.
stretch and recoil to help push blood along it.
help maintain blood pressure.
carry out peristalsis.
Which of the following is a definition of tissue fluid?
It is plasma that leaks out of the arterioles.
It is plasma, without its proteins, that leaks out of the blood capillaries and bathe the body tissues.
It is a fluid that is secreted by blood vessels to bathe the body tissues.
It is the water found in our bodies.
All of the following assist venous blood flow except
Skeletal muscle contraction
Valves in veins
Fidgeting while sitting
Sleeping in a recliner
Low blood pressure in veins is due to
their large lumen relative to the diameter.
lower blood volume.
a lot of pressure had been lost at the capillary bed.
All of the above.
Skeletal muscles help blood to move towards the heart when it
contract.
relax.
Which of the following wrongly describes material exchange between capillaries and tissues?
Plasma is forced out of the capillaries at the arteriole end but blood cells remain in the lumen.
Plasma enters the capillaries from the surrounding tissue at the venule end due to its lower blood pressure.
100% of the fluid lost at the arteriole end will return at the venule end.
Glucose and oxygen diffuse from the capillary into surrounding tissue down a concentration gradient.
