To review:
The symptoms of the hypovolemic shock, which are related to the actual loss of body fluids and which result in a negative feedback of the systems for regulating the blood pressure and flow of blood.
Introduction:
Shock is a life-threatening condition, which can result from a failure of the cardiovascular system, in the supply of oxygen, and other nutrients to the various parts of the body that prevents the normal

- Which of the following is true regarding plasma colloid osmotic pressure ? 1) It is less than interstitial osmotic pressure 2) It decreases by significantly in the muscle capillaries as blood flows from the arteriole end to the venous end 3) It is primarily caused by the presence of the substances in the plasma such as sodium and potassium 4) It increases in response to an increase in plasma fibrinogen concentration asap pleasearrow_forwardDoes body position affect blood pressure (as measured by pulse pressure)?arrow_forwardPredict the effect of each of the following conditions on blood flow:(a) vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the skin in response to coldexposure, (b) vasodilation of blood vessels in the skin in response toelevated body temperature, and (c) erythrocytosis, which results in agreatly increased hematocrit.arrow_forward

Explain why. b) What effect does vasodilation have on blood pressure? Explain why.
