a. increased |heart |rate
b. peripheral ||vasoconstriction
c. constriction ||o f ||bronchial ||smooth ||muscle
d. increased |force ||o f |myocardial ||contraction
ANSWER: | | B
Alpha1 |receptors ||are |found ||in |t he |eyes, ||blood ||vessels, ||bladder, |and ||male |reproductive |organs.
||Stimulation ||of ||alpha1 ||receptor ||sites ||results ||in ||constriction.
OBJ: ||Compare |a nd |contrast |the |effects |of |sympathetic |a nd ||parasympathetic |stimulation ||of ||the |heart.
8. Which |side ||of ||the ||heart ||is ||a ||low-pressure ||system ||that ||pumps ||venous ||blood ||to ||the ||lungs?
a. Left
b. Right
ANSWER: | | B
The ||job ||of ||the ||right ||side ||of ||the ||heart ||is ||to ||pump ||unoxygenated ||blood ||to ||and ||through ||the ||lungs
||to |t he ||left ||side |o f ||t he ||heart. |This ||is ||called ||t he |pulmonary ||circulation. |The ||r ight ||side ||o f |t he ||heart
||is ||a ||low-pressure ||system.
