That blood vessel looks good
This is the middle layer of a vein and artery
What is the tunica media
These vessels are exposed to the lowest blood pressure and therefore require valves to prevent stasis of blood
What are veins
These areas of the body have multiple deep veins that accompany a single artery
What are the limbs
These two pumps assist blood return to the heart
What are the skeletal muscle and respiratory pumps
This is the most distal segment of the aorta
What is the abdominal aorta
The aorta is an example of this type of artery
What is an elastic artery
Name the three types of blood pressure
What are arterial, venous and capillary pressures
This vein runs lateral to the basilic vein throughout the entire upper limb
What is the cephalic vein
If you decreased blood volume and peripheral venoconstriction while increasing impulses through the parasympathetic nervous system you would do this to cardiac output
What is decrease
This is the first distal branch of the popliteal artery
What is the anterior tibial artery
This pathway or vessel allows blood to bypass a capillary bed when the precapillary sphincters are closed
What is a thoroughfare channel
If you substract the diastolic pressure from the systolic pressure you get this
What is the pulse pressure
These 3 vessels merge to form the hepatic portal vein
What are the splenic, superior and inferior mesenteric veins
As the cross sectional area of a blood vessel decreases the speed of blood flow does this
What is increase
This hormone is produced by the suprarenal gland and targets cells of the kidney to promote sodium reabsorption
What is aldosterone
At rest 13% of your blood is located in these vessels
What are the systemic arteries and arterioles
Cardiac output and this factor of blood flow are multiplied together to determine the blood pressure
What is total peripheral resistance or systemic vascular resistance
These 9 vessels form the cerebral arterial circle
What are the anterior and posterior communicating arteries, anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries
These factors of resistance exhibit an indirect relationship with resistance
What are length and viscosity
These receptor types are located in joints/muscles that relay information about movements during physical activity
What are proprioceptors
These two water soluble substances can pass through fenestrations and intercellular clefts in the wall of a capillary
What is glucose and amino acids
The arterial blood pressure of a patient is 164/92. The mean arterial blood pressure is therefore_____.
What is 116 mmHg
These are the three fetal shunts that redirect blood flow inside a fetus
What is the foramen ovale, ductus arteriosus and ductus venosus
These pressures work together to promote the movement of fluid from the intravascular fluid compartment to the interstitial fluid compartment
What are Blood hydrostatic pressure and Interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
These two blood vessels, one vein and one artery, originating on the anterior surface of the heart demonstrate a rare example of blood in a vein moving in the same direction as blood in the accompanying artery
the circumflex branch and the great cardiac vein
