Chapter 21.1, Problem 4BYGO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The difference between a medium vein and a medium artery.
Introduction:
Arteries are defined as the cardiovascular system's afferent vessels, i.e., vessels carrying blood from the heart. Arteries are regarded as the cardiovascular system's resistance vessels because they have a tissue structure that is fairly strong and resistant to high blood pressure. Veins are classified as vessels afferent to carry blood back to the heart. Veins are considered to be the capacitance vessels of the cardiovascular system because they are relatively thin-walled and flaccid and easily expand to carry an increased volume of blood; that is, they have more capacity to store blood than arteries do

- Illuminate the Truth Stroke Volume Highlight the correct word in each of the following sentences. 1. (Preload)(Afterload) is the amount of tension, or stretch, in the ventricular muscle just before it contracts. 2. (Contractility)(Stroke volume) is the force with which ventricular ejection occurs. 3. Starling's law of the heart states that the more the ventricle is stretched-within limits-the (less)(more) forcefully it will contract. 4. The force against which the heart must work to eject its volume of blood is called the (cardiac output)(afterload). 5. Factors that affect contractility are called (chronotropic) (inotropic) agents. 6. Factors that affect heart rate are called (diastolic)(chronotropic) agents.arrow_forward1.

In the cardiac catheterization lab he was "found to have a totally occluded distal right coronary artery and a 70% occlusion in the left circumflex coronary artery. The left anterior descending artery was patent. Angioplasty of the distal right coronary artery resulted in a patent infarct- related artery with near normal flow. A stent was left in place to stabilize the patient and limit infarct size. Left ventricular ejection fraction was normal at 42%, and a posterobasilar scar was present with hypokinesis." a.
