NUR 631 Cardiology Questions With Complete
Solutions
A _______________________ aneurysm is the most
common cerebral aneurysm.
Berry
Describe a fusiform aneurysm?
Represents weakening on both sides of the vessel
wall producing a lateral ballooning
Where can the locations of a dissecting aortic
aneurysm be within the vessel walls?
There may be a tear between intimate and media
or between the media and adventitia
How can a AAA be explained by the law of Laplace?
As the radius of the vessel increases, the tension of
the wall increases leading to rupture
What type of aneurysm could cause renal failure or
paralysis?
Abdominal aortic aneurysm
,Smooth muscles become hypertrophy (growth of
muscle cells) and move _______________________ in
the smooth muscle of vessels.
intima
The ________________________, the outermost layer,
is composed of supporting connective tissue in an
artery.
adventitia
Capillaries have only a single layer of endothelial
cells attached to a ___________________________
_________________________.
Basement membrane
How is transcapillary exchange of fluid and
nutrients accomplished by?
the processes of diffusion and filtration
What are 3 ways filtration is affected to move fluid?
1. increased capillary fluid pressure and interstitial
fluid colloid osmotic pressure enhance filtration
2. increased interstitial fluid pressure and plasma
colloid osmotic pressure oppose filtration
3. increased permeability (K+) enhances filtration
What opposes filtration?
increased interstitial fluid pressure and plasma
colloid osmotic pressure
, What enhances filtration?
increased capillary fluid pressure and interstitial
fluid colloid osmotic pressure
What is the most common cause of chronic
progressive arterial obstruction?

What are the 6 P's associated with acute arterial
obstruction?
1. pain
