CARDIOVASCULAR PHYSIOLOGY Blood Pressure A. How does blood pressure change (from resting) when a student puts their hand in an ice bucket of water for one minute? What happens after two minutes? Explain what happens in terms of blood vessel constriction and dilation. B. How does blood pressure change (from resting) when a student exercises vigorously for a couple of minutes? What happens after five minutes? Explain what happens in terms of blood vesicle constriction and dilation

Step 1
When a student puts their hand in an ice bucket of water for one minute, the immediate response of the body is to constrict the blood vessels in the hand. This is a protective mechanism to prevent heat loss. As a result, blood pressure increases because the same Show more…

6. How do blood vessels maintain blood flow in the body? A. Contract and reduce space B. Use oxygen to increase pressure in vessels C. Relax and allow more blood to flow D. Depend upon body movement to move blood 7. What role do the kidneys play in blood flow? A. Regulate water volume in blood and urine B. Send water to urine during low blood pressure C. Release hormones as part of the endocrine system D. Produce more red blood cells to increase blood flow 8. Which one of these health benefits of exercise is not directly related to cardiovascular health? A. Reduced fat levels B. Strengthened cardiac muscle C. Lower cholesterol D. Stronger striated muscle 9. Which of the following is least likely to artificially raise a person's blood pressure reading? A. Fear of the doctor's office B. An arm cuff that is too big C. Exercising immediately before measuring D. Drinking liquids immediately before measuring

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

1. Which of the following is not a function of the arterial endothelium? a. to secrete nitric oxide (NO) b. to serve as a barrier for the exchange of fluids between blood and tissues c. to undergo diapedesis in response to the appropriate signal d. to serve as a smooth surface for the unobstructed flow of blood 2. A fibrous cap (choose all that apply): a. can be thin or thick b. is most stable (and least likely to rupture) when it contains a small lipid core c. is least stable when it is thick d. consists of connective tissue secreted by smooth muscle cells e. can prevent thrombosis when ruptured
