Term
| the systolic b.pressure is: |
|
Definition
| highest b.pressure recorded from the systemic arteries |
|
|
Term
| baroreceptors that detect b.presure as it enters the located in: |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| an increase in arterial b.pressure initiates an increase in: |
|
Definition
| activity in the parasympathetic nervous system |
|
|
Term
| a decrease in arterial b.pressure initiates sympathetic activity, which: |
|
Definition
all of the other options are correct
(-increase heart rate
-increase stroke vol
-decrease arterial blood loss through the capillaries) |
|
|
Term
| if the pressure of a fluid declines as it flows against gravity, then in a standing person the pressure of the blood at the heart would be: |
|
Definition
| greater than the b.pressure in the head |
|
|
Term
| baroreceptors measure b.pressure in the carotids arteries. what organ is supplied by the carotid arteries? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| in a standing person, since blood travels against gravity from the heart to the brain, the b.pressure will: |
|
Definition
| decrease as it travels to the brain |
|
|
Term
| b.pressure is INCREASED by the activity of the: |
|
Definition
| sympathetic nervous system |
|
|
Term
| in a person lying down, the brain is: |
|
Definition
| about the same level of the heart |
|
|
Term
| if the heart & brain are at the same level in an individual who is lying down, the b.pressure in the heart will be: |
|
Definition
| about the same as the b.pressure in the heart |
|
|
Term
| b.pressure is DECREASED by the activity of the: |
|
Definition
