1. Blood pressure is highest in the: Arteries
2. Blood pressure is lowest in the: Veins
3. the lowest pressure is during ventricular diastole when diastolic pressure
the artery recoils no further; this value is recorded as
the
4. the systolic blood pressure is the pressure in the vessel ventricular contraction
during
5. when checking your pulse, you are feeling the rhyth- blood
mic pulsations of ____ through your arteries
6. The resistance of a fluid to its flow is called viscosity
7. blood pressure ________ when sympathetic innervation increases
causes vasoconstriction of the arterioles
8. the two main peripheral chemoreceptors are the aortic bodies
________ and ________ carotid bodies
9. blood pressure in the venules is _____ mm Hg and 20, 0
almost _____ mm Hg by the time blood travels through
the inferior vena cava to the right atrium of the heart
10. the ________ muscle pump enables veins located be- skeletal
tween muscles groups to be squeezed in order to help
pump blood toward the heart
11. True or false: changes in the blood pressure gradient true
are directly correlated with changes in total blood flow

the amount of friction the blood experiences as it trav-
els through the blood vessels is called:
13. the term ________ resistance is typically used when dis- peripheral
cussing the resistance of blood in the blood vessels
14. what factors would increase blood viscosity? increased erythrocytes
dehydration
15. _____ vessel length _____ resistance increasing, increases
16. True or false: if a person gains a large amount of body True
fat, the body must produce miles of additional vessel
length by angiogenesis
17. if vessel radius ________, relatively more blood flows decreases, decreases
near the edges and overall blood flow ________
18. as the blood pressure gradient decreases, ______ ______ total blood
flow lessens
19. A(n) ________ in cardiac output will decrease the blood decrease
pressure gradient
20. the relatively high blood pressure on the arteriole end filtration
of the capillary accounts for
21. blood pressure is influenced by three primary vari- cardiac output, blood vol-
ables, which are ________, peripheral resistance and ume
