Anti diuretic hormone acts on ___________, to retain water, which in turn ___________ blood volume and pressure

Aldosterone acts on the kidney to retain ____________, which in turn __________ blood volume & pressure

this hormone initiates the signaling process when blood pressure is reduced to the kidney

Anti-Diuretic Hormone is released by the _________.

Aldosterone is released by the ___________.

Angiotensin II is released by the ___________.

Atrial Naturitic Peptide is released by the ___________.

Renin is released by the _____________.

Which hormones increase blood pressure by increasing blood volume?

Which hormone decreases blood pressure by vasodilation?

Increasing cardiac output (increases/decreases) mean arterial pressure

if water is retained by the body, as in the case of vasopressin, blood pressure tends to

if the heart is stimulated by epinephrine, a sympathetic hormone, blood vessel diameter(increases/decreases) in size.

if preload increases due to a decrease in compliance in large veins, blood pressure in the pulmonary circuit (increases/decreases)

Nitric Oxide (NO) is released constantly by endothelium in vessels; when released it causes diameter of the vessel to (increase/decrease)

impaired lung function due to hypo-ventilation causes a decrease in circulation oxygen, increase in carbon dioxide, and decrease in PH. These factors lead to activation of vessels by causing a(n) (increase/decrease) in blood pressure.

during inflammation, mast cells release histamine, which causes localized vessel changes that (increase/decrease) blood flow and (increase/decrease) blood pressure at the site of infection

platelets are actively involved in blood clotting. During this process, they release thromboxane A2, which causes local vessel diameter to (increase/decrease) which causes blood flow at the site to (increase/decrease)

if there is an increase in inotropy, than there is an increase in stroke volume that leads to changes in cardiac output and subsequently (increase/decrease) blood pressure

in chronic hypertension, there is a thickening of the artery wall which leads to a(n) (increase/decrease) in vessel diameter and a(n) (increase/decrease) in blood pressure

Aorta, Common Carotid, Common Iliac, Pulmonary Trunk are examples; these vessels have thick tunica media with embedded elastin to enhance recoil to maintain blood pressure

(type of vessel)

valves are present in this vessel which is primarily found within muscle groups or attached to peripheral organs; thin tunica media and thick tunica externa

(type of vessel)

most abundant vessel type carrying oxygenated blood; contribute most to overall blood pressure and resistance by performing vasomotion; thick tunica media

(type of vessel)

allows leukocytes to emigrate from bloodstream into tissues;low pressure vessel carrying deoxygenated blood from capillary beds

(type of vessel)

distributes oxygenated blood to specific organs and muscle groups, contains two distinct layers of elastin that surround the tunica media

vena cava, internal jugular, pulmonary veins, renal veins are examples;these vessels have thick tunica externa and rely on compression to pressurize and move blood

whic layer of the vessel contains areolar connective tissue?

in a vein, this layer of the wall is the thickest

the tunica intima consists of which tissue type?

the tunica media consists of what tissue type

the majority of the blood in the body is found in the...........
