a. efficient removal of waste products by blood systems
b. rigidity and likelihood of stroke
c. most large and charged molecules cannot move from the blood to the brain

What does it mean to say that acetylcholine exerts ionotropic effects?
a. It opens ion channels.
b. It increases the concentration of ions within the vesicles.
c. It alters the permeability of the presynaptic neuron.
d. It changes the electrical charge of sodium ions from positive to negative.
Catecholamine (Epinephrine)-blockers are often used as a treatment to dilate blood
vessels and therefore decrease arterial blood pressure (as a treatment for
hypertension). This fact is excellent evidence to prove that the nervous system
normally controlling the diameter of the arterial blood vessels is the:
a. Somatosensory nervous system
b. Sympathetic nervous system
c. Reticular attenuating nervous system
d. Parasympathetic nervous system

- Which statements describe how systems interact to produce the fight-or-flight response?Select the two correct answers.

B The endocrine system floods the circulatory system with hormones that affect several other body systems. C The endocrine system supplies the lungs with insulin, allowing increased absorption of oxygen. D The digestive system creates hormones that are sent to the muscular system, resulting in increased blood flow to muscles. E The muscular system sends receptors to the circulatory system to increase blood pressure and heart rate. F The circulatory system experiences a change in blood flow, which allows the muscular system to obtain additional glucose.arrow_forwardA 32-year-old male is diagnosed with primary hypertension.
