Cardiovascular System — Flashcards

Bradykinin causes vaso-_____ and increased vascular permeability

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

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

_____ rhinitis occurs due to parasympathetic overactivity which causes vasodilatation and congestion.

Standing up and the valsalva maneuver are both used to _____ pre-load

_____ substances cross the capillary wall via aqueous clefts (between endothelial cells).

The first phase of Lewis' triple response is _____ which occurs due to capillary dilatation, secondary to pressure

An increased blood volume (or venous tone) causes the cardiac output to _____ and right atrial pressure to increase

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

_____ is a good approximation of left atrial pressure
