Chapter 15, Problem 27RQ
The following figure is a schematic representation of the systemic circulation. Use it to help answer the following questions. (CO = cardiac output, MAP = mean arterial pressure).
- a. If resistance in vessels 1 and 2 increases because of the presence of local paracrine signals but cardiac output is unchanged, what happens to MAP? What happens to flow through vessels 1 and 2? Through vessels 3 and 4?
- b. Homeostatic compensation occurs within seconds. Draw a reflex map to explain the compensation (stimulus, receptor, and so on).
- c. When vessel 1 constricts, what happens to the filtration pressure in the capillaries downstream from that arteriole?

All are true.arrow_forwardI need to calculate the approximate heart rate based on the given ECG results, but I can't get how to determine the length of time between two consecutive R waves. What I see, it's one second between the two highest waves (I suppose they are R waves). But it means the heart rate should be 60 beats per minute, but there is no option for this answer. Teach me how to determine correctly the length of time between two consecutive R waves.arrow_forwardWhen you exercise, your heart speeds up, and a greater volume of blood is pumped around the body to meet demands. Both heart rate and stroke volume are affected by changes in blood gases, blood pressure, temperature and movement. Make reference to the following to help structure your answer: Inputs: Chemoreceptors Stretch receptors Thermoreceptors Pressure receptors How the information is processed by the brain Effectors – what nerves regulate heart rate in response to changes in each direction. Explain this concept in no more than 300 words. You must make reference to the nervous system in the control of these events.arrow_forward
