Question
Answer
Which of the following is considered a pressure reservoir? Arteries, veins, arterioles, venules, capillaries   Arteries  
🗑
Which portion of the vasculature is considered to have high compliance? Arteries, veins, arterioles, venules, capillaries   veins  
🗑
Where is the greatest resistance in vasculature? Arteries, veins, arterioles, venules, capillaries   arterioles  
🗑
Which acts as a volume reservoir? Arteries, veins, arterioles, heart, capillaries   veins  
🗑
Which has highly elastic walls? Arteries, veins, arterioles, venules, capillaries   Arteries  
🗑
Which of the following has the highest compliance? Arteries, veins, arterioles, venules, capillaries   veins  
🗑
Which is the result of a reduction in blood flow? Active hyperanemia or Reactive hyperanemia   reactive hyperanemia  
🗑
Where can fenestrated capillaries be located?   Kidney  
🗑
What is the driving force for blood flow through the systematic circuit?   mean arterial pressure  
🗑
Which of the following is not a component of microcirculation? arterioles, venules, capillaries, metaarterioles, veins   veins  
🗑
What component of artery walls allows them to store energy that is later used to maintain continuous blood flow though the circulatory system?   elastin  
🗑
What is a measure of the change in vascular volume as pressure within the vessel is altered?   compliance  
🗑
Resistance to blood flow is regulated primarily by what blood vessels?   arterioles  
🗑
The total cross-sectional area is greatest in which blood vessels?   capillaries  
🗑
Compare active hyperemia to reactive hyperemia.   One is caused by increased metabolic activity, the other in response to release of an occlusion to blood flow.  
🗑
What is hyperemia?   increased blood flow in response to increased metabolic activity  
🗑
What is a cause of hyperemia?   CO2 being produced faster than being removed, O2 consumed exceeds delivery rate, increased blood flow  
🗑
What is reactive hyperemia?   Increased blood flow in response to a previous reduction in blood flow  
🗑
What is a cause of reactive hyperemia?   blockage of blood flow to tissue, vasodilation,  
🗑
At any given point in time, where is there the largest amount of blood in the cardiovascular system?   veins  
🗑
Where is the lowest velocity of blood flow through the vasculature and what advantage does this have?   capillaries; enhances exchange  
🗑
In blood pressure measurement, two pressures are measured and listed as a fraction. What are they?   systolic/diastolic  
🗑
In lymph nodes, what type of cell filters are lymph?   macrophages (or lymphocytes)  
🗑
What is the cardiovasular control center?   medulla oblangatta  
🗑
Name one location of the arteriol baroreceptors.   carotid sinuses, aortic arch  
🗑
What are two ways to increase the mean arterial pressure?   increase cardiac output, increase total peripheral resistance  
🗑
How does lymph enter the lymphatic system and eventually flow through the lymphatic veins?   lymphatic capillaries  
🗑
What are two stimuli for increasing the flow of blood to an area in both active an reactive hyperemia? (what causes vasodilation in both to occur)?   decreased oxygen and increased CO2  
🗑
There are two different ways material can cross the wall of a continuous capillary? Name two of them.   increased cardiac output, increase total peripheral resistance  
🗑
What is compliance?   ability to store pressure  
🗑
Where is the lowest velocity in the vasculature and why is it advantageous for this portion of the vasculature to have low velocity?   caoillaries, enhance exchange.  
🗑


   

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.
