Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 1CAL
A young man was doing some vigorous exercise when suddenly he felt chest pains just before he passed out. Upon being revived, he was taken to the hospital for examination. The medical personnel ran standard tests and ECG tracings, then said it would fine for him to resume his normal activities and workouts.
1. Why might the increase in heart rate associated with a vigorous exercise program be the cause of his becoming unconscious?
- a. increase in blood pressure throughout the body
- b. failure of the conduction system
- c. increase in return volume of blood to the heart
- d. coronary blood flow reduction due to tachycardia

If a patient has cirrhosis of the liver and is unable to produce sufficient albumin and other plasma proteins, then what variable is changed in capillary exchange, and what is the effect?
a. There is no change in the capillary exchange process.
b. Hydrostatic pressure in the blood decreases, and fluid remains in the blood.
c. Colloid osmotic pressure in the capillary increases, and blood volume increases in the blood vessels.
d. Colloid osmotic pressure in the capillary decreases, and fluid remains in the interstitial fluid, potentially causing edema.
