Blood doping (using injected substances to artificially enhance performance) is illegal in many sports. Two substances used are erythropoietin and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF). One of the actions of HIF is to increase formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). Explain how administering erythropoietin can increase performance and how HIF can increase performance through angiogenesis.

The physiological significance of reactive hyperemia include which of the following? (Mark all that apply.) O The decrease in blood flow to a tissue leads to the accumulation of metabolic products and vasodilators in ECF/extracellular fluid. Removal of occlusion leads to a increase in resistance and a decrease in blood flow, due to vasodilators. O Dilatation of arterioles occur, but the occlusion prevents blood flow. Removal of occlusion leads to a decrease in resistance and an increase in blood flow, due to vasodilators. As vasodilators are removed, arterioles constrict and blood flow returns to normal. As vasodilators are removed, arterioles expand and blood flow increase above normal.. Dilatation of arterioles occur and occlusion allows blood to flow as normal.

A normal value of the diameter of an aortic artery is 15 mm. a. How many capillaries would it take to have the same cross-sectional area as a single aortic artery? b. Assuming constant fluid flow through a single aortic artery and a capillary network with the same cross-sectional area, how will the resistance to flow compare to both? (Answer a and b)
