Cardiovascular System — Flashcards

According to the Fick principle: _____ = O2 consumption / (arterial O2 content - venous O2 content)

Resistance is _____ proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the blood vessel

A(n) _____ in TPR causes a clockwise rotation of the vascular function curve

The hand grip maneuver is used to _____ after-load

A decrease in mean systemic pressure is reflected in a shift of the _____ function curve to the left

Atrial baroreceptors respond to _____ blood volume by increasing release of vasopressin (ADH) from the posterior pituitary

ADH-activated _____ receptors are located on the vascular endothelium

Cardiac _____ can be estimated by the left ventricular ejection fraction,

Information from the carotid sinus baroreceptor is carried to the _____ via the glossopharyngeal nerve

The reasons there is concentric left ventricular hypertrophy in response to systemic hypertension is that _____ wall thickness decreases wall stress by offsetting increased wall tension
