Question
Chapter 20.2, Problem 6AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
Why arterial flow is pulsatile, but capillary and venous flow are not.
Introduction:
Arteries are the resistance vessels that give oxygenated blood to the organs. Arteries are known for their strong and resilient tissues that can withstand the pressure created by the heart. They are more muscular in nature than veins and able to maintain their round shape even when the vessels are empty. In order to keep the blood flowing in the artery, the heart must pulsate pressure. This is referred to as blood pressure (BP). The high blood pressure can lead to hypertension, and low blood pressure can lead to hypotension. This can be measured using a sphygmomanometer. The sphygmomanometer is wrapped around the arm to take measurement of the blood pressure, as the brachial artery that passes through the heart is relatively close to the heart.

A 25-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with a 2-day history of fever, chills, severe headache, and confusion. She recently returned from a trip to sub-Saharan Africa, where she did not take malaria prophylaxis. On examination, she is febrile (39.8°C/103.6°F) and hypotensive. Laboratory studies reveal hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, platelet count of 50,000/μL, and evidence of hemoglobinuria. A peripheral blood smear shows ring forms and banana-shaped gametocytes. Which of the following Plasmodium species is most likely responsible for her severe symptoms?
A.
Plasmodium vivax
B.
Plasmodium ovale
C.
Plasmodium malariae
D.
Plasmodium falciparum
