- Changes in blood pressure occur throughout the day. Short term mechanisms, like the baroreceptor reflex, maintain a steady flow of blood to the tissues to sustain life despite postural changes. However, there can be elevations of blood pressure orchestrated by the nervous system. Describe an example where the nervous system causes changes in the normal functioning of the circulatory system.arrow_forwardDescribe how to check capillary refill and what it is used for.arrow_forwarda.

- Fill in the gaps in the paragraphs below: Blood pressure can be regulated by the nervous system, in particular the ____________________ nervous system. Initially changes to blood composition and pressure can be detected by ____________________: ____________________for pressure, ____________________for chemical changes, ____________________for temperature, and ____________________for movement. These changes are collected by the medulla oblongata in the brain, which will initiate the ____________________nerve to reduce blood pressure or the ____________________system to increase it. So when blood pressure is high, the ____________________system is used, heart rate ____________________and the systolic blood pressure ____________________. When blood pressure is too low, the ____________________system takes over, heart rate and contractility ____________________, and ____________________occurs in the blood vessels.arrow_forwardThe human venous system is diagrammed on this page.

- Describe how ultrasound can be used to provide diagnostic images in medicine. Highlight the role of sound for imaging and describe how sound is generated and received. Explain in detail which physical properties of human tissue is exploited by this technique. Describe the ultrasound technique that can be used to monitor blood flow and diagnose diseases that impact blood flow. Explain the physical principles underlying magnetic resonance imaging and provide three examples where it could be used to provided information not accessible with ultrasoundarrow_forwardDescribe in detail the negative feedback mechanism that regulates blood pressure. ANSWER SHOULD INCLUDE: Cardiovascular system response to a fall IN BP: Name location of receptors Afferent pathway - how signal is sent to CNS ( i.e. branch of ANS involved, name of neurotransmitters/ hormone) Name and location of control of control centre in CNS Efferent pathway - how signals is sent to effectors .
