high compliance
Structure of Capillaries - ANSWER Consist of one tunic (layer) only
Function of Arterioles - ANSWER Can change TPR (total peripheral resistance)
At the beginning of a capillary bed, hydrostatic pressure (BP), is _______ colloid
osmotic pressure (COP), and thus filtration is _______ reabsorption. At the end of the
capillary bed, BP is _______ COP, resulting in filtration that is _______ reabsorption.
Overall, the amount of fluid filtered from the capillary is _______ the amount of fluid
reabsorbed into the capillary - ANSWER 1. greater than
, 2. greater than
3. less than
4. less than
5. greater than

What will increase total peripheral resistance (TPR)? - ANSWER >> increase in
hematocrit levels
>> sympathetic activation of alpha receptors
What can be used to regulate TPR in order to maintain a normal mean
arterial pressure? - ANSWER Epinephrine
What will cause an increase in venous return? - ANSWER >> deep breathes
>> while standing, plantar flex your ankles repeatedly (stand on your toes)
We can hear the pulse when the compression of a blood pressure cuff is between our
systolic and diastolic blood pressures because of the _______ blood flow through the
partially occluded _______ - ANSWER Turbulent; artery
Doubling the radius of a blood vessel will _______ the resistance by a factor of _______
and _______ the flow of blood - ANSWER 1. decrease
2. sixteen
3. increase
