UPDATE
, pulmonary circuit - DETAILED ANSWER -What is known as the movement of blood
from the right ventricle to both lungs back to the left atrium, and functions to allow gas
exchange?
systemic circuit - DETAILED ANSWER -What is known as the movement of blood
from left ventricle to ALL body tissues and back to right atrium, and functions to supply
nutrients to body cells and pick up wastes?
away - DETAILED ANSWER -Arteries transport blood ________ from the heart
throughout the body
blood flow; blood pressure - DETAILED ANSWER -Arterioles control the amount of
_____________ through each organ and _____________
exchanged - DETAILED ANSWER -Capillaries are vessels where materials are
_____________ between blood and surrounding tissue cells
return - DETAILED ANSWER -Veins __________ blood from the tissue back to the
heart
, blood pressure - DETAILED ANSWER -Force per unit area exerted on wall of blood
vessel by blood; Expressed in mm Hg; Pressure gradient provides driving force that keeps blood
moving from higher to lower pressure areas
blood flow - DETAILED ANSWER -Blood flow is volume of blood flowing through
vessel, organ, or entire circulation in given area per unit time; Measured as ml/min
pressure gradient - DETAILED ANSWER -is the difference in pressure between the
beginning and end of a vessel. The greater the pressure gradient the greater the flow rate through
that vessel.
resistance - DETAILED ANSWER -Opposition to flow; Measure of amount of friction
blood encounters with vessel walls, generally in peripheral (systemic) circulation
blood viscosity, blood vessel length, blood vessel diameter - DETAILED ANSWER -
Three important factors the influence resistance
Vascular tone - DETAILED ANSWER -the state of partial constriction that establishes
a baseline of arteriolar resistance
