Question
Chapter 18.8, Problem 14CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The way through which diuretics, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers work for decreasing the BP(blood pressure).
Introduction:
Hypertension can be defined as the medical condition in which the blood pressure rises above 140/90 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury). A high blood pressure leads to increased strain on the heart, which leads to damage to the arteries. Due to the high blood pressure, the heart has to put extra effort to push blood throughout the body.

- 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_forwardSeveral years ago, the deaths of several airline travelers led to the warning about “economic-class syndrome.” The idea is that economic-class passengers do not have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods of flights-conditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs.

Each one of them is actually used to counteract mechanisms the body has naturally set in place in response to a drop in blood pressure and presumed drop in tissue perfusion. For each medication, explain its affect(s) on A, B, and C. If you feel it has no effect on a particular parameter, then say "no effect". Specifically for each: A) affect on TPR (total peripheral resistance) and how/why it changes it B) affect on cardiac output (contractility, heart rate, stroke volume) and how/why it changes it C) blood volume/pressure and how/why it changes it ACEIs (ACE inhibitors) Beta blockers Digoxin Nitrates (nitroglycerin, isosorbide) Diuretics like Lasixarrow_forward
- According to Poiseuille's Law, vasodilation is associated with increased blood flow. Knowing that capillaries cannot change diameter but arterioles can, how do your observations support this?arrow_forwardA chemical called EDTA, like citrate, binds to (or “chelates”) Ca2+. Suppose a person had EDTA infused into their blood. What effect would this have on the intrinsic and extrinsic clotting pathways? How would these effects differ from the effects of aspirin on blood clotting?arrow_forwardAspirin is cardioprotective for its anti-thrombotic properties, which means that it prevents platelets from coagulating to make a clot. In cardiovascular practice, aspirin is prescribed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes. Which of the following is true?arrow_forward
- Considering the function of the heart, why is it important that the myocardium cannot be tetanized?arrow_forwardNitroglycerin is a drug that is commonly used to treat angina pectoris. It is thought to beconverted to nitric oxide by cardiac muscle cells and endothelial cells. Why might this drugalleviate the symptoms of angina pectoris?arrow_forwardThe delivery of blood by the left ventricle into the sorta is intermittent, whereas blood flow in the peripheral circulation is usually continuous. Which of the following best explains this difference? A. Arteries contain more elastic tissue than veins . B Capillary walls contain little elastic or muscular tissue . C. Continuous flow is needed to meet metabolic requirements. D. Passive recoil of the arteries delivers blood to the periphery during diastole E . Rhythmic contractions of arterial smooth muscie increase the diastolic pressure to above zeroarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is true about the SA (sinoatrial) node? a. The action potential created by the pacemaker cells of the SA node directly stimulates the contractile cells of both the atria and ventricles. b. The rate of spontaneous depolarization of nodal cells is the fastest in the SA node. c. Pacemaker cells in the SA node form a pathway between the SA and AV nodes. d. The pacemaker cells, which establish the heart rate, are located only in the SA node.arrow_forwardAll of the following are correct about the isovolumetric contraction, except ____________. A. This phase of the cardiac cycle begins with the appearance of the QRS complex of the ECG, which represents atrial repolarization and ventricular depolarization B. It represents the time period between the closure of the AV valves and the opening of the aortic and pulmonic valves, ventricular pressure rises rapidly without a change in ventricular volume C. The rate of pressure increase in the ventricles is determined by the rate of contraction of the muscle fibers, which is determine by mechanisms governing excitation-contraction coupling D. Ventricular chamber geometry changes considerably as the heart becomes more spheroid in shape; circumference increases and atrial base-to-apex length increasesarrow_forwardDescribe why a wide pulse pressure would be logical to give a patient with the condition aortic regurgitation?arrow_forward
