🗑
What is the function of the medulla oblongata?   Serves as the center for respiratory, cardiac, and vasomotor reflexes.  
🗑
Which lobe of the cerebral cortex contains the primary motor and speech control centers?   Frontal  
🗑
What is the name of the thin epithelial tissue layer of the heart wall that is the inner surface of each chamber?   Endocardium

Which of these valves is a semilunar valve?   Aortic  
🗑
What chamber of the heart pumps blood into the aorta?   Left ventricle  
🗑
Which portion of the cardiac conduction system serves as the pacemaker?   Sinoatrial valve  
🗑
What are the two divisions of the cardiovascular system?   Pulmonary and systemic  
🗑
What major blood vessel completes the pulmonary division of circulation by returning oxygenated blood to the heart?   Pulmonary vein  
🗑
The primary influences over venous flow are the one-way valves and _______________________.   skeletal muscle contractions  
🗑
Which of these changes would cause blood pressure to increase?   Vasoconstriction  
🗑
What is the "normal' blood pressure reading for an average-sized adult?   120 over 80

🗑
What is the other phase for the subacute phase of tissue healing?   Proliferative phase  
🗑

🗑
What is the most abundant type of plasma protein?   Albumins  
🗑
Which group of plasma proteins includes antibodies, complements, and clotting factors?   Globulins
