If a person has a blood pressure of 120/90, his mean arterial pressure would be ________ mm Hg.
100
_______ are the only good vessels whose walls are thin enough to permit blood-tissue exchange
Capillaries
Which of the following is not a characteristic of venous valves
Channeling blood away from the heart
After losing 25 percent of blood volume in a motorcycle accident, which of the following compensatory responses would not occur?
Circulatory shock
The superior vena cava collect blood from the
Head, chest, and upper limbs
A decrease in blood CO2 levels would cause
Increased blood pH
An important after that supplies blood to the brain is the ______ artery
Internal carotid
Blood from the brain turns to the heart through the _______ vein.
Internal jugular
Which of the following is true regarding the inferior vena cava
It is considered a larger vein
An artery delivering blood to the kidney would have ________ blood in it and would be part of the ________ circuit.
Oxygenated; systemic
A "blue baby" is often associated with what congenital heart defect?
Patent ductus arteriosus
Which of the following break(s) the rule that arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
Pulmonary arteries
Materials can move across capillary walls by?
Reabsorption, filtration, and diffusion
Blood returning from the systemic circuit enters the
Right atrium
Which chamber of the heart receives blood from the systemic circuit
Right atrium6767
Blood is pumped into the pulmonary circuit from the
Right ventricle
These vessels hold the largest percentage of the blood supply.
Systemic venous system
Where is the majority of blood volume located during rest?
Systemic venous system
Veins of the brain empty into
The dural sinuses
Name the immediate and long-term problems related to hemorrhage
The immediate problem related to hemorrhage is maintaining adequate blood pressure and peripheral blood flow. The long-term problems related to hemorrhage is to restore normal blood volume
Total peripheral resistance is related to all of the following except
The osmolarity of interstitial fluids
Describe the respiratory pump
The respiratory pump is a mechanism by which a reduction of pressure in the thoracic cavity during inhalation assists venous return to the heart.
Where are chemoreceptors located
They are located within the medulla oblongata and in the carotid and aortic bodies
Why are valves located in veins but not in arteries
Valves are located in veins to prevent blood from flowing backward because venous pressure is too low to keep the blood moving back toward the heart
List the factors that contribute to total peripheral resistance?
Vascular resistance, vessel length, vessel luminal diameter, blood viscosity, and turbulence
Which of the following are the smallest venous vessels
Venules
All of the following occur during exercise except
blood flow to skin decreases
The systemic circuit delivers oxygenated blood to ________ and returns blood to the ______
body organs; right atrium
Capillaries that have a complete lining are called
continuous capillaries
All of the following occur in response to hemorrage except
increase in blood pressure
Pulmonary veins carry blood to the
left atrium
Pulmonary arteries carry blood to the
lungs
As blood travels from arteries to veins,
pressure drops
Vasculogenesis refers to
the formation of the first vessels.
Angiogenesis refers to
the growth of new blood vessels from preexisting vessels.
Blood pressure is lowest in the
veins
The most common congenital heart defect is
ventricular septal defect
After blood leaves the capillaries, it enters the
venules
In which of the following would the blood flow be highest
A vessel 1.0 cm in diameter and 2 meters long
To defend blood volume against dehydration, the body
Accelerates reabsorption of water at the kidneys, experiences an increase in the blood colloidal osmotic pressure, increase water intake, experiences a recall of interstitial fluids
Identify the largest artery in the body
Aorta
The congenital heart defect most often associated with Down syndrome is
Artioventricular septal defect
What effect does an increase in the respiratory rate have on CO2 levels
Decreases CO2 levels
Which of the following would have the greatest effect on vascular resistance

define edema
Edema is an abnormal accumulation of interstitial fluid in peripheral tissues
Which is greater; arterial pressure of venous pressure
arterial pressure
Where is blood pressure highest
arteries
List the five general classes of blood vessels.
arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins
RBC's move single file through this structure
capillary
Capillaries with a perforated lining are called
fenestrated capillaries
Arterioles ________.
have a poorly defined tunica externa
Compared to arteries, veins
have thinner walls
