Chapter 1, Problem 2CT
A male has lost blood as a result of a gunshot wound. Even though the bleeding has been stopped, his blood pressure is low and dropping, and his heart rate is elevated. Following a blood transfusion, his blood pressure increases and his heart rate decreases. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) consistent with these observations?
a. Negative-feedback mechanisms can be inadequate without medical intervention.
b. The transfusion interrupted a positive-feedback mechanism.
c. The increased heart rate after the gunshot wound and transfusion is a result of a positive-feedback mechanism.
d. a and b
e. a, b, and c

Which of the following statements is (are) true concerning the pathways for blood clotting?a. The intrinsic pathway takes less time than the extrinsic pathway.b. The intrinsic and extrinsic pathways require sodium.c. The intrinsic pathway is started by factors from damaged tissues.d. The intrinsic pathway requires the same clotting factors as the extrinsic pathway.e. The common pathway results in fibrin changing to fibrinogen
When human tissue, such as skin or a blood vessel, is torn or cut, the cells in the damaged
region secrete a signal that activates specialized blood cells called platelets in the vicinity.
As the platelets come in contact with one another, they begin to form a clot and release ad-
ditional chemical signals to attract more platelets as well as other clotting factors until the
bleeding is stopped.
Which of the following correctly describes the feedback mechanism illustrated by the acti-
vation of the platelets?
A
It is an example of positive feedback because the initial activation of the platelets causes
the activation of additional platelets.
B
с
D
It is an example of negative feedback because the initial activation of the platelets is
caused by a harmful stimulus.
It is an example of positive feedback because the ultimate result of initial platelet activa-
tion causes the bleeding to stop.
It is an example of negative feedback because the initial activation of the platelets
causes the…
Which of the following is the best description of what happens in capillaries?
A. Capillaries are surrounded by thicker smooth muscle moving blood cells to exchange nutrients and oxygen.
B. Capillaries connect minor veins to major veins returning blood to the heart.
C. Capillaries are the location where oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients are exchanged with tissues at the cellular level.
D. Capillaries are the site where blood mixes with interstitial fluid to allow for gas and nutrient exchange.
