Correct Question 1 pts
Body Maintenance
Where in the cardiovascular system is blood pressure normally the
highest?
renal artery
superior vena cava
pulmonary artery
right subclavian vein
1/101
,ESTUDY
Body Maintenance
*1) The renal arteries are part of the systemic circuit and
have the highest blood pressure among those listed here.
2) Venous pressure is generally lower than arterial pressure.
3) Pressure is generally low in the pulmonary circuit.
4) See 2).
Question 2 pts
Body Maintenance
A reduced level of which blood component will decrease the
transport of cholesterol to tissue cells?
lipoprotein
metalloprotein
transport protein
immunoglobulin
2/101
,ESTUDY
*1) Lipoproteins carry cholesterol, which is insoluble in
water, through the bloodstream, so reduced lipoproteins
decrease transport.
2) Metalloproteins transport metal ions such as iron.
3) Transport proteins span the cell membrane. They are not
specifically involved in cholesterol transport.
4) Immunoglobulins or antibodies are part of the immune
system.
Correct Question 3 pts
Body Maintenance
Which action occurs following stimulation of the baroreceptors in the
aortic arch?
The smooth muscles will relax.
Cardiac output will increase.
Peripheral resistance will increase.
Blood pressure will rise.
3/101
, ESTUDY
Body Maintenance
*1) Baroreceptors monitor stretch and pressure in blood
vessel walls. Those in the aortic arch relax the smooth
muscles.
2) Baroreceptor stimulation causes cardiac output to
decrease.
3) Baroreceptor stimulation causes peripheral resistance to
decrease.
4) Baroreceptor stimulation occurs in response to a rise in
blood pressure and acts to bring it back to normal.
Correct Question 4 pts
Body Maintenance
Which is a normal response of the cardioinhibitory center of the
medulla oblongata?
decreased heart rate at times of increased blood pressure
stimulation of vasodilation at times of increased blood pressure
initiation of the cardiac cycle by direct sinoatrial node stimulation
increased heart contractility in response to decreased aortic blood
pressure
