5. The difference between systolic and diastolic pressures gets smaller along the vessels so that in small arterioles and capillaries there is just one blood pressure (True/False). 6. It is essential to realize that there is no static 'normal' value for systemic arterial blood pressure. (True/False) 7. Blood pressure is at its highest immediately after the ventricle contracts. This is called the systolic pressure. 8. Examination of the carotid pulse is generally directed toward assessing the strength and regularity.

Blood pressure is involved in which of the following? (Multiple) - the difference between the composition of the tunica media (muscle layer) in veins versus arteries - capillary filtrations and gas exchange in capillaries between the blood and intercellular fluid - regulates the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine in the body - causes the "lub" and "dub" sounds of the heart 2. Which of these answers are true about systole? (Multiple) - ventricle contraction that only moves blood to the systemic circulation - systole contractions only push blood into arteries - it is the top number in a blood pressure reading - when it is complete, the sound of the valves closing makes a "dub" sound 3. Cardiomyocytes are responsible for the beating of the heart, which happens independently of the brain. True/False 4. Chemical interventions, such as vasodilators and vasoconstrictors, can regulate the pace of the heart directly. True/False
The contraction phase of the heart is systole and the relaxation phase is diastole. Thus, diastolic blood pressure is the pressure in the circulation when the heart has filled but not yet ejected the blood. True False
