Question
Chapter 36.5, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
An arteriole is a small-diameter blood vessel. In the circulation process, arterioles are increased an artery and conduct to capillaries. Arterioles are the primary site of vascular resistance in which muscular walls are present.

- Several years ago the deaths of several airline travelers led to warnings about economy-class syndrome. The idea is that economy-class passengers dont have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods on flightsconditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in the planes cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a clot will form.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are false about the inward rectifier? OA The inward rectifier current is carried by potassium OB. The inward rectifier carries inward current at potentials negative to the Nersnst potential for potassium under voltage clamp conditions. OC. The inward rectifier current obeys Ohm's law. OD. The inward rectifier is absent in the sino-atrial node. OE All of the above are true.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best describes systolic blood pressure? Systolic blood pressure depends upon the force of the heart contractions - the stronger the contractions the higher the systolic pressure will be. Systolic blood pressure depends on how tightly the cuff of the sphygmomanometer is tightened. Systolic blood pressure depends upon the resistance of the blood vessels - the greater the resistance to blood flow the higher the systolic pressure will be. Systolic blood pressure depends upon the force and frequency of the heart contractions - the stronger and more frequent the contractions the higher the systolic pressure will be.arrow_forward
- The heart is basically a double pumps their pressures are not the same. In the systemic circulation, the pressure is higher because of high resistance. O True Falsearrow_forwardAorta Arteries Capillaries Veins Vena Cava The blood pressure through the system is highest at the output of the heart and falls as it moves through the system approximately (for a person lying down) as shown in the figure. The drop is largest in the capillaries. Why? Because the viscosity of blood is lower when it's in the capillaries. Because the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries is large. Because each capillary has a small radius. Because the velocity of flow in the capillaries is very low. Because the capillaries are very short.arrow_forwardWhich of the following would increase the resistance in a blood vessel? Group of answer choices All of these would increase resistance. An increase in length of a blood vessel Severe dehydration and loss of water from the plasma Vasoconstriction of blood vesselsarrow_forward
- Which of the following would increase the resistance to blood flow? Group of answer choices All of these increase resistance A decrease in blood viscosity A decrease in vessel length A decrease in blood vessel radius or diameterarrow_forwardWhich of the following is incorrect? Group of answer choices The walls of the cappillaries are thick. Vasoconstriction is one way to control blood flow. The walls of the veins are thin. There are no valves in the arteries. Veins carry blood into the heart.arrow_forwardT/F question Arteries carry blood away from the heart. The smallest blood vessels are called arterioles. The SA node pacemaker is located in the left atrium wall. Systolic blood pressure is the highest blood pressure reading. Atherosclerosis occurs when plaque forms on the inner walls of arteries.arrow_forward
- Endothelium in the arterioles does not A. Release nitric oxide to relax contraction. OB. Sense stress due to fluid flow and/or pressure in the arteriole OC Face the lumen of the arteriole. D. Contract to reduce the capillary diameter. O E. All of the above are true.arrow_forwardWhat do large veins have in common with lymphatics? O They both possess one-way valves and fluid transport is aided by the skeletal pump. They are designed to withstand extreme hydrostatic pressures. O They have nothing in common. They both possess additional discrete pumps that act together to deliver fluid back to the heart. O They are the vessels that experience the highest flow rates. O Oarrow_forwardWhen seated in a normal upright position, what would you expect the systolic blood pressure to be when measured from the arm while it is raised above the head? Higher than when measured from the arm in its relaxed resting position by your side Not detectable since systolic pressure can only be detected from arteries at or below the level of the heart The same as when measured from the arm in its relaxed resting position by your side since position has no effect on systolic pressure Lower than when measured from the arm in its relaxed resting position by your side.
