capillaries

The net hydrostatic pressure (HP) is the hydrostatic pressure in the __________ minus hydrostatic pressure in the __________.

capillary; interstitial fluid

cardiac contractility peripheral resistance heart rate

Where are the sensors for the arterial baroreceptor reflex located?

carotid sinus and aortic arch

All of these changes in the cardiovascular system are commonly seen in aging except __________. decrease in valve efficiency decrease in hematocrit decrease in cardiac output decrease in arterial wall stiffness

decrease in arterial wall stiffness

In the case of hemorrhage, the body mobilizes all these defenses except _________. increased thirst decreased ADH secretion increased peripheral resistance increased heart rate

decreased ADH secretion

True or false? The blood within the pulmonary trunk contains highly oxygenated blood.

false

What feature distinguishes this type of capillary from a continuous capillary?

fenestrations

What process is depicted in this figure?

filtration

Elevated capillary hydrostatic pressure __________.

forces more fluid between endothelial cells

If blood pressure is increased at the arterial baroreceptors, what would happen with the activity level of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS)?

increased PNS activity and decreased SNS activity

As the heart ages, which of these changes is not normally seen? -decreased cardiac output -decreased ejection fraction -increased elasticity of the fibrous skeleton -coronary arteriosclerosis

increased elasticity of the fibrous skeleton
