Mark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement.
a. The sympathetic nervous system increases blood pressure in the short term by increasing cardiac output and peripheral resistance.
b. A sudden increase or decrease in blood pressure triggers the baroreceptor reflex, which is mediated by the medulla and the autonomic nervous system.
c. Hormones that decrease blood volume and blood pressure include antidiuretic hormone and aldosterone.
d. Angiotensin-II is a chemical that produces profound vasoconstriction.
e. The kidneys control blood pressure directly through adjustment of blood volume.

- Which of the following statements is false? a. The sympathetic nervous system releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are positive chronotropic and inotropic agents. b. The endocrine system regulates cardiac output through chronotropic and inotropic hormones and through hormones that regulate water balance .c. The parasympathetic nervous system releases acetylcholine,which is a strongly negative inotropic agent. d. Factors such as electrolyte concentrations, body temperature,and age all affect cardiac output.arrow_forwardNeed helparrow_forwardProlonged pressure on the skin causes reddened areas at the point of contact due to: Select one: a. Tissue damage and inflammation resulting from impaired capillary blood flow b. Occlusion of major arteries causing infarction of the tissue c. Compression of veins resulting in venous engagement d.

- Which of the following is a result of their condition?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is likely to decrease blood pressure? A. High concentraion of ADH in the blood B. Body wide vasoconstriction C. Vagal inhibition D. Increased cardiac outputarrow_forwardIdentify the TRUE statement (s). There may be several correct answers. A. An increased cardiac output is reflected in an elevated diastolic pressure.B. An increased cardiac output is reflected in a decreased diastolic pressure.C. An increase in the force of contraction produces an elevated systolic pressure.D. An increase in the force or ventricular contraction produces a decreased diastolic pressure.arrow_forward
- A. Muscles around the arterioles dictates where blood flows in the body…why is this useful? B. All hearts have at least one thinner walled chamber where blood collects called the ____________ and at least one thicker-muscled chamber that squeezes blood out of the heart: v________________. C. The blood that flows from the heart into the gills or lungs is in the _______________ circuit; the blood that flows from the heart to the rest of the body is in the ________________ circuit.arrow_forwardbelow are a number of scenarios. Please determine and explain how each will impact cardiac output. A. releace of antidiuretic hormone from the posterior pituitary B. Stimulation by the parasympathetic nervous system C. Getting up and walking around after a long period of sitting still.arrow_forwardWhich of the choices below best describes the systemic circulation of blood?a. The flow of blood into the right atrium and eventually out of the left ventricle.b. The movement of blood from the pulmonary trunk, through capillaries into the pulmonary veins.c. The movement of blood into the coronary arteries, through capillaries into the coronary sinus.d. The movement of blood from the aorta, through arteries and capillaries and then eventually to the vena cavae.arrow_forward
