Cardiovascular System — Flashcards

A(n) _____ in TPR causes a clockwise rotation of the vascular function curve

Resistance is _____ proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the blood vessel

_____ septal defect leads to an increased O2 saturation in the RA, RV and pulmonary artery

The reasons there is concentric left ventricular hypertrophy in response to systemic hypertension is that _____ wall thickness decreases wall stress by offsetting increased wall tension

According to the Fick principle: _____ = O2 consumption / (arterial O2 content - venous O2 content)

ADH-activated _____ receptors are located on the vascular endothelium

The hand grip maneuver is used to _____ after-load

Cardiac _____ can be estimated by the left ventricular ejection fraction,

A decrease in mean systemic pressure is reflected in a shift of the _____ function curve to the left

Atrial baroreceptors respond to _____ blood volume by increasing release of vasopressin (ADH) from the posterior pituitary
