1. True/False. Giving someone an ACE inhibitor will increase blood pressure.
true
false
1. Epinephrine will cause the heart rate to (increase/decrease) which will cause heart rate to (increase/decrease).
increase, increase
increase, decrease
decrease, decrease
decrease, increase
Which type of arteries have a thick tunica media?
muscular arteries
skeletal arteries
elastic arteries
1. True or False. Veins have a thicker tunica media than arteries.
true
false
Which blood vessels have most of the blood distribution in the cardiovascular system?
systemic arteries
systemic veins
pulmonary arteries
pulmonary veins
Why do veins have venous valves?
to help with sympathetic stimulation
to control the rate of blood flow
to prevent backflow of blood
to separate oxygenated from deoxygenated blood
In the RAAS system, what hormone will act on the kidneys to stimulate reabsorption of salt and water, or in other words, increase volume?
aldosterone
ADH
epinepherine
calcitonin
True or false. Pressure is highest in the blood vessels near the heart and decreases as it gets farther away
true
false
In what blood vessel is blood pressure the highest?
large systemic veins
small systemic veins
small systemic arteries
large systemic arteries
True or false. Blood pressure is indirectly proportional to resistance
true
false
True or false. Blood flow is directly proportional to the pressure gradient.
true
false
Systolic blood pressure occurs when the heart?
contracts
relaxes
Do the fillings of the chambers occur during systolic or diastolic?
systolic
diastolic
If blood volume increases, will blood pressure increase or decrease?
increase
decrease
How do you calculate pulse pressure?
Systolic BP - diastolic BP
Avg. BP - MAP
Systolic BP + Diastolic BP
Diastolic BP - Systolic BP
Water loss or water gain will affect which determination of blood pressure?
elasticity of arteries
blood volume
blood viscosity
rate of blood flow
True or False. The larger the radius of an artery, the larger the peripheral resistance in that artery
true
false
What factors determine cardiac output?
blood pressure
stroke volume
heart rate
vessel radius
True or False. The longer the blood vessel, the smaller the resistance.
true
false
if your heart rate increases, cardiac output will (increase/decrease) and blood pressure will (increase/decrease).
increase, decrease
increase, increase
decrease, decrease
decrease, increase
If vessel radius decreases, peripheral resistance will
increase
decrease
