Question
Answer
Resistance in the blood vessels is primarily controlled by altering   vessel radius.  
🗑
When carbon dioxide accumulates in a tissue, local arterioles will _________, increasing perfusion and decreasing carbon dioxide levels.   dilate  
🗑
Capillaries have only a   tunica intima.  
🗑
Under the microscope, the wall of a blood vessel is observed to contain only a tunica intima. This must be a(n)   capillary.  
🗑
The vessels that are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart are   arteries.  
🗑
In both pulmonary and systemic circulation, gas exchange occurs at the   capillaries.  
🗑
During exercise, blood is shifted from the __________ into systemic circulation.   Veins  
🗑
T/F : During exercise, resistance to flow in the viscera and organs decreases, causing an increase in blood flow to these areas.   False  
🗑
T/F :During exercise, resistance to flow in skeletal muscles increases.   False  
🗑
T/F : The changes in resistance to flow in the viscera and organs help cause an increase in blood flow to the skeletal muscles.   True  
🗑
T/F : Total cardiac output increases, but stroke volume always remains the same   False  
🗑
T/F : Capillary exchange is the process by which cells receive everything they need to survive and to eliminate metabolic waste.   True  
🗑
T/F : By far the most important means by which capillary exchange occurs is filtration   False  
🗑
T/F : A small amount of fluid moves out of capillaries at their venous ends, and most of that fluid reenters the capillaries at their arterial ends.   False  
🗑
T/F : Filtration pressure is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls   True  
🗑
Vasomotion of the renal arteries will control blood flow to the   kidneys  
🗑
Blood pressure is highest in the ___________ and lowest in the _____________.   arteries closest to the heart; veins  
🗑
Under the microscope, a blood vessel is observed to have a relatively thin wall, a large lumen, is collapsed, and contains a thick tunica externa. This is probably a(n)   vein.  
🗑
Which vessel drains capillaries?   Postcapillary venules  
🗑
When a person changes position from lying down to standing, the blood pressure in the veins of the lower limbs __________.   increases  
🗑
In a working tissue like skeletal muscle, carbon dioxide may accumulate along with an increase in lactic acid. In this example, carbon dioxide and lactic acid will act as   vasodilators.  
🗑
Vasodilation   increases blood flow and decreases blood pressure.  
🗑
Vasoconstriction   decreases blood flow and increases blood pressure.  
🗑
T/F : Blood pressure is directly proportional to vessel resistance.   True  
🗑
T/F : Blood flow is affected by both blood pressure and vessel resistance.   True  
🗑
Deoxygenated blood from the heart myocardium drains into the right atrium via the   Coronary Sinus  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
