Question
Chapter 15, Problem 30RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The two suggestions about the pressure of oxygen control over the arterioles.
Introduction: In the given case, a physiologist performed two experiments. In one experiment, a section of arteriole was placed in a saline chamber, and the oxygen content of the saline chamber was reduced. In the second experiment, an isolated slice of the smooth muscle of arteriole was stripped away from the rest of the layers of the arteriolar wall.

- Arterioles are often referred to as resistance vessels.Why?arrow_forwardSeveral 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 is most directly responsible for the increasein capillary permeability during the infl ammatory reaction?a. pain c. histamineb. white blood cells d. tissue damagearrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is false concerning the movement of fluid between capillaries and interstitial space? Group of answer choices The osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid does not oppose the movement of fluid from the capillary. Blood hydrostatic pressure forces fluid from the capillary to the interstitial space. The blood hydrostatic pressure and the blood osmotic pressure are always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Blood osmotic pressure moves fluid from the interstitial space to the capillary. The osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid is less than the blood osmotic pressure.arrow_forwardIn severe hemorrhage, which Starling’s force is most affected? A.
