During the early stages of exercise, cardiac output is maintained by increased _____ and stroke volume

Phase _____ of the myocardial action potential is characterized by initial repolarization

The Frank-Starling relationship states that the force of _____ is proportional to the end-diastolic length of the cardiac muscle fiber

A negative inotropic agent causes the cardiac output to _____ and right atrial pressure to increase

Resistance is _____ proportional to the length of the blood vessel

The most important local metabolic factors for coronary circulation are _____ and adenosine (vasodilatory)

Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is equal to the difference between _____ and ICP

An increase in mean systemic pressure is reflected in a shift of the _____ function curve to the right
