Concept explainers
To review:
Whether the following statements are true or false. Also, the false statements are to be corrected:
a. Arterioles reflexively dilate when blood pressure increases.
b. Increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions, and a decreased concentration of oxygen in the interstitial fluid cause local arteriolar constriction.
c. Tissue perfusion to the heart decreases during systole and increases during diastole.
d. The increase in tissue perfusion in skeletal muscles that occurs during exercise is known as hyperemia.
e. The sympathetic nervous system causes vasodilation in the skin when the body temperature decreases.
Introduction:
Tissue perfusion is important for the survival of cells. It helps in maintaining the atrial blood pressure. It is regulated by local factors within each individual, by the process called autoregulation. It ensures that adequate amount of blood is delivered to a particular tissue for regulating their

- A patient suffering from hypertension may receive drugs that decrease the hearts output, dilate arterioles, or increase urine production. In each case, how would the drug treatment help relieve hypertension?arrow_forwardWhich one of the following sentences is wrong? A Small arteries are called arterioles. B When arterioles reach the capillaries blood pressure drops. C Blood pressure is lower in the arteries than in the arterioles. D Small arterioles regulate the flow of blood into each capillary.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is True?a. Arteriole diameter is controlled by nerves, hormones,and chemicals from nearby tissues.b. The sympathetic nervous systems causes constriction ofarterioles in hot conditions.c. Precapillary sphincters are controlled by the nervoussystem.d. In response to major blood loss, the veins and arteriesincrease in diameter.arrow_forward
