_____ is a good approximation of left atrial pressure

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

The _____ function curve is a plot of the relationship between cardiac output of the left ventricle and pressure of the right atrium

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

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

The most important local metabolic factors for cerebral circulation are _____ and H+ (pH)

The heart sound _____ can be associated with ventricular noncompliance
