A typical bioprosthetic valve will provide service for approximately

carotid arteries and the aorta

Baroreceptors are located in

occurs in pulses rather than a constant stream

Blood flow within capillary beds

minimum; diastole

Diastolic pressure is the ________ pressure during ventricular ________.

increased venous return

During light exercise, the increase in cardiac output is mostly due to

auricles

Expandable extensions of the atrium are called

the respiratory pump

Increased inhalation during exercise pulls blood into the vena cava by a mechanism called

two copies of the sickling gene

Central regulation of cardiovascular action by neural and endocrine mechanisms occurs

cardiac inhibitory center

Parasympathetic neurons that slow heart rate are contained in the

venous return

The blood vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs comprise the

sternum

The bone lying anterior to the heart is the

coronary sulcus

The deep groove marking the border between the atria and the ventricles is the

lymph vessels

The difference in fluid flow into and out of capillaries is taken up by the

fossa ovalis

The embryonic remains of the connection between atria is the

simple squamous epithelial and areolar tissue

The endocardium of the heart is composed of

conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin

The final step in the coagulation phase is

atrioventricular valves closing

The first "lubb" heart sound is associated with

ANP

The heart, in response to high blood volume, releases

tunica externa

The majority of the body's blood volume at one time is found within the

azygos and hemiazygos veins
