Substance exchange with the tissues takes place in thesevessels

These vessels are the main site of vascular resistance

Active hyperemia directly affects the diameter of thesevessels

Very low resistance vessels that act as a pressure-reservoir due totheir elasticity

These vessels contain one-way valves throughout their length

The walls of these vessels are composed of a single layer ofendothelial cells and a thin basement membrane

Very low resistance vessels that serve as a volume reservoir due totheir compliance

The velocity of blood flow is the least in these vessels

These vessels carry blood back to the heart

Blood flow in these vessels is directly aided by the skeletalmuscle pump

Correct order the following events that would occur due to a dropin MAP.

Sympathetic activation increases and parasympathetic activationdecreases

Heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and total peripheralresistance increase.

MAP rises.

Baroreceptor firing decreases

Hypoalbuminemia is a medical condition in which blood plasma levels of albumin are abnormally low. One reason for this disorder is an increased movement of blood plasma albumin into the interstitial space through leaky capillaries. How would this condition affect the volume of lymph that's produced?

It would decrease lymph volume.
It would increase lymph volume.
There is not enough information to answer question.
There is no effect upon lymph volume.

c) How going from laying to standing affects arterial blood pressure in the head region?

When we are laying down the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is at the same level of the heart which is about 100 mm Hg. When we try to stand up from the lying position, our head is placed above our heart and gravity starts to pull the blood back downwards to our heart and feet. Return of venous blood is reduced and this leads to a decrease in cardiac stroke volume and decline in mean arterial pressure which is reduced to 60-70 mm Hg. This decreases the flow of blood to head. In response to this reduction in arterial blood pressure in the brain, parasympathetic nervous system is withdrawn and sympathetic nervous system is activated to pump more blood to head region via increased heart rates.

d) How the baroreceptors reflex explains the higher HRs during standing

When a person stands up, baroreceptor reflexes are rapidly activated to restore arterial pressure so that mean arterial pressure normally is not reduced by more than a few mmHg when a person is standing compared to lying down. However, in order to maintain this normal mean arterial pressure, the person who is standing upright has increased systemic vascular resistance (sympathetic mediated), decreased venous compliance (due to sympathetic activation of veins), decreased stroke volume (due to decreased preload), and increased heart rate (baroreceptor-mediated tachycardia).
