ventricular contraction
A patient has a large accumulation of blood in the sac surrounding the heart. Which type of shock
would this condition cause? - ANS Obstructive
Bile is produced by the liver and concentrated and stored in the: - ANS gallbladder
If a patient's chest barely moves during inhalation, even if the patient's respiratory rate is normal,
you should suspect that: - ANS minute volume is decreased
Large amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are generated when: - ANS the cells function with
adequate oxygen
Pathophysiology is the study of the functional changes that occur when the body reacts to a
particular: - ANS disease
The ___________ is made up of the maxilla and zygoma, as well as the frontal bone of the cranium. -
ANS orbit
The ____________ is a muscular dome that forms the inferior boundary of the thorax, separating
the thorax from the abdomen. - ANS diaphragm
The brain connects to the spinal cord through a large opening at the base of the skull called the: -
ANS foramen magnum
The central nervous system is composed of the: - ANS brain and spinal cord
The waste products of aerobic metabolism include: - ANS carbon dioxide and water
, Urine is transported from the kidneys to the urinary bladder via the: - ANS ureters
What happens when blood volume is lost from the body? - ANS The arteries contract to increase the
blood pressure
What is the function of the fallopian tubes? - ANS To transport a mature egg to the uterus
Which of the following is NOT a function of the skin? - ANS metabolic coordniation

A 20-year-old male has a large laceration to his wrist. He is holding a blood-soaked towel over the
wound, but it continues to bleed rapidly. You should: - ANS apply a tourniquet proximal to the wrist
A 25-year-old unrestrained female struck the steering wheel with her chest when her car hit a tree
while traveling at a high rate of speed. She has signs and symptoms of shock, which you suspect are
the result of intrathoracic bleeding. Which of the following interventions will provide this patient
with the greatest chance for survival? - ANS Rapid transport to a trauma center
As you approach a patient lying at the side of the roadway, you observe severe bleeding from the
leg. What should your first action be? - ANS control the bleeding
Distributive shock occurs when: - ANS widespread dilation of the blood vessels causes blood to pool
in the vascular beds
