Check all that are correct regarding the structure and function of arteries and veins. a. Both arteries and veins have one-way valves to prevent a backflow of blood. b. Arteries have a thinner tunica media than do veins. c. Most of the body's blood is contained in the venous system. d. There is sufficient pressure in the veins to return the blood back to the heart from the lower limbs. e. Venous return of blood back to the heart depends on skeletal muscle pumps.

1. In the coronary circulation: (a) Overall, left coronary arterial flow is lower than right coronary arterial flow. (b) Venous flow rate during diastole exceeds that during systole. (c) Left coronary arterial flow occurs mainly during diastole. (d) Right coronary arterial flow is fully interrupted during systole. (e) A reduction in arterial O2 in a coronary arteriole leads to vasoconstriction. 2. Lymph: (a) Flow rate is approximately 1.2 L/hr. (b) It is primarily produced in the brain. (c) Lymph vessels are contractile. (d) Lymph flows from the chest into the abdomen. (e) Flow rate is increased following a hemorrhage.

1a. Which of the following are stages of the cardiac cycle? Select all that apply. a. As blood flows into the arteries, the pressure in the ventricles drops, and the aortic and pulmonary valves close b. The ventricles start to contract and rising pressure shuts the atrioventricular valves and opens the aortic and pulmonary valves. c. An atrial contraction squeezes more blood into the relaxed ventricles. d. As relaxed atria fill, fluid pressure opens the atrioventricular valves, and blood flows into the relaxed ventricles. 1b. Which of the following components of blood is filled with hemoglobin and transports oxygen? a. Plasma b. Red blood cell c. White blood cell d. Platelet 1c. During capillary exchange, which of the following occurs only at the arterial end of a capillary? a. CO2 b. diffuses and other wastes are transported into the plasma. c. High blood pressure forces protein-free plasma out between cells of the capillary wall. d. Water enters blood by osmosis. e. O2 f. diffuses and nutrients are transported out of blood into interstitial fluid.
