Check All That Apply Capillaries exist in both the circulatory system and the lymphatic system. In blood, cells and platelets are suspended in interstitial fluid. Skeletal muscle contractions propel lymph through the lymphatic system. Veins collect interstitial fluid that leaks out of the lymph capillaries and returns it to the heart, where it can receive a new supply of red blood cells. Fluid from the space between cells enters the lymphatic system, moves through lymph capillaries and into lymph nodes, and then enters the circulatory system.arrow_forwardWhich of the following changes would you expect to find after administration of a vasodilator that selectively reduced afferent arteriolar resistance? Group of answer choices increase in GFR decrease in GFR no change in GFR none of the abovearrow_forward

Then, describe how the body detects the changes, and how the cardiovascular system acutely responds to maintain homeostasis. 2)Describe how the endocrine system and renal system integrate to restore homeostasis in an individual who has donated whole blood.arrow_forwardA 65-year-old male patient is prescribed an ACE ( Angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitor (Benazepril ) for the treatment of hypertension. Which statement below is incorrect? Angiotensin II causes constriction of the vessels and triggers the release of aldosterone. ACE Inhibitors prevent Angiotensinogen I from converting to Angiotensin II. Kidneys will excrete water and potassium. This medication will lower SVR (systemic vascular resistance) and blood pressure.arrow_forward
