O vasoconstriction O stimulates epithelial cell divislon O cnhances cilary motility O blocks MUCUS production All of the following enhance the movement of oxygen through the air- blood barrier EXCEPT for O the large surface area for gas exchange. O the fact that oxygen is small O the fact that the alveolar wall is thick. O the fact that oxygen is uncharged. O the fact that the diffusion gradient is high.

The term carotid means “to put to sleep,” implying that, if the carotidarteries are occluded for even a short time, the patient can loseconsciousness (go to sleep). The blood supply to the brain is extremelyimportant to brain function. Elimination of this supply for even arelatively short time can result in permanent brain damage because thebrain is dependent on oxidative metabolism and quickly malfunctionsin the absence of oxygen. What is the physiological significance ofarteriosclerosis, which slowly reduces blood flow through the carotidarteries?
Which of the following is a circulatory adjustment to sustained moderate exercise?a. Constriction of the cutaneous circulationb. Decreased intestinal blood flowc. Decreased venous returnd. Increased renal blood flowe. Increased total peripheral vascular resistance
During a bout of heavy exercise, terminal resistance arterioles in a musclemay dilate and transiently increase capillary hydrostatic pressure from 30mmHg to 40 mmHg. If capillary oncotic pressure remains constant at 28mm Hg and interstitial fluid oncotic pressure remains constant at 3 mm Hg,which of the following will occur?A)Net filtration will increaseB)Net filtration will decreaseC)Only absorption will occurD)Net filtration will not changeE)Net absorption will increaseWhich of the following promotes reabsorption of water into the capillary?A)Plasma oncotic pressureB)Capillary hydrostatic pressureC)Interstitial fluid oncotic pressureD)Soluble electrolytesE)Red blood cells
Which of the following is most directly responsible for the increasein capillary permeability during the infl ammatory reaction?a. pain c. histamineb. white blood cells d. tissue damage
A patient is hyperventilating, and suddenlyfeels ill. Which of the following are ways thebody will attempt to maintain homeostasis? (check all that apply) A. Activity will increase at thepneumotaxic center to increase the rateof breathing. B. The person will vomit to removeexcess acid in their system. C. The peripheral chemoreceptors willdetect the level of oxyhemoglobinpresent in the blood .D. The kidneys will secrete more bicarbonate ions
How do arteries differ from veins? a. Arteries have thicker wall layers to accommodate the changes in pressure from the baa b. Arteries carry blood. c. Arteries have thinner wall layers and valves and move blood by the action of skeletal muscla d. Arteries are thin wafted and are used for gas exchange.
Cutaneous vasoconstriction is caused by an increase in which of the following? A. Anaerobic metabolismB. Contractility increaseC. Coronary blood flowD. Myocardial efficiency E. O2 extraction
When the blood pressure is high, how will the myogenic reflex help to bring the blood pressure baack to normal? (circle all that apply)a. Calcium channels on smooth muscle opensb. Potassium channels open helping potassium to rush into the cellc. Vasoconstriction take placed. Stretch receptors in the afferent arterioles are activated e. Vasodilation take place
Carotid Sinus Massage is used as a clinical tool in the diagnosis of certain cardiovascular disorders. In addition, it’s simply a cool bit of physiology that highlights part of the baroreceptor reflex. In simple terms, what effect(s) do/does the manual massaging of the carotid sinus have on the above-noted effector(s)? Why? It is thought that the elderly tend to have hypersensitivity with this reflex; often contributing to death. It’s also believed that this response partially contributes to death by hanging or by manual strangulation. Briefly describe how this too is consistent with your understanding of the reflex.
One of the more common adverse effects of cancerchemotherapy is the destruction of leukocytes. Before hisnext scheduled chemotherapy treatment, a patientundergoes a blood test called an absolute neutrophil count(ANC), which reveals that his neutrophil count is 1900 cells per microliter. Would his healthcare team be likely toproceed with his chemotherapy treatment? Why?
Which of the following conditions will lead to an increase in interstitial PO2?a. decreased PCO2 c. decreased blood flowb. exposure to low levels of CO d. increased metabolic rates e. none of the above (note: select all that applies)
