GMS6474 Module 2 Problem
Set with complete verified
solutions
A healthy individual has volunteered for a physiology research
project. At baseline, the following cardiovascular values are taken
from the volunteer.
Mean Aortic Pressure: 90 mm Hg
Mean Pulmonary Arterial Pressure: 10 mm Hg
Right Atrial Pressure: 2 mm Hg
Left Atrial Pressure: 4 mm Hg
Which of the following is the SYSTEMIC Driving Pressure (mm Hg) in
this volunteer?
100
88
6
8
14
Systemic Driving Pressure=Mean Aortic Pressure−Right Atrial
Pressure
90 - 2 = 88 mm HG
What is one important benefit to the parallel arrangement of
vasculature?
A and B
C) Decreased total peripheral resistance
A) Additive Resistance
A, B, and C
B) Individual Control of Blood flow to specific organs and tissues
B and C
B and C
Which of the following shows the correct order of the vasculature in
series?
* Left Heart->Pulmonary Artery->Veins->Capillaries->Arterioles-
>Vena Cava->Right Atrium
* Right Heart->Aorta->Arterioles->Capillaries->Veins->Pulmonary
Vein->Left Atrium
* Left atrium->Aorta->Arterioles->capillaries->venoules->veins-
