_____ is released from atrial myocytes in response to increased blood volume and atrial pressure

A(n) _____ in TPR causes a(n) downward shift of the cardiac function curve

Increased _____ results in a(n) decreased width and increased height on a pressure-volume loop curve

The second phase of Lewis' triple response is _____ which occurs due to arteriolar dilatation, secondary to axon reflex

When resistances are arranged in _____, the pressure through each level of the system is the same

The _____ function curve is a plot of the relationship between pressure of the right atrium and venous return

Phase _____ of the SA node action potential is characterized by slow depolarization

Activation of _____ adrenergic receptors causes coronary and skeletal muscle vaso-dilation

Only clinical indicators of perfusion of the gastrointestinal tract and muscular beds are the global measures of _____ and the mixed venous oxygen saturation
