You may know already that the blood vessels are the thin, lengthy tubes within your body through which blood is pumped by the heart so that you can get the blood you need from head to toe at all times, but do you know the exact functions? Take this quiz and we’ll see how much you know.
Blood flow.
Hematocrit.
Blood pressure.
Oxygen saturation.
Inferior vena cava.
Aorta.
Circle of Willis.
Femoral artery.
Thin membrane.
Porous membrane.
Valves.
Smooth muscle.
Expanded blood volume
Pulmonary edema
Varicose veins
Dehydration
Carotid artery
Brachial artery
Femoral artery
Circle of Willis
Hypokalemia (low potassium) and flabby muscles
Hypertensive crisis and stroke
Vasodilation and hypotension
Hemolysis and jaundice
CO= HR*SV*PULSE PRESSURE
BP=CO*SV*R
BP=SV*PULSE PRESSURE
BP=SV*HR*R
Blood pressure
Plasma proteins, especially albumin
Lymph
Electrolytes such as sodium and chloride
Development of hypovolemic (low blood volume) shock, as in hemorrage
Exertion of pressure over the carotid sinus (tight collar)
Administration of nitroglycerine (a vasodilator drug)
Administration of a diuretic for hypertension
Fluid moves from the interstitium into the capillary
No net flux of water occurs
Blood volume expansion occurs
Fluid is filtred into the interstitium
Fluid is filtred from the capillary into the interstitium
Fluid moves osmotically into the capillary from the interstitium
Plasma proteins diffuse from the capillary into the interstitium
Blood volume decreases
Cardiac output
Blood pressure
The electrical activity of the heart
Coronary blood flow
Blood volume
Hematocrit
Blood pressure
Rate of capillary filtration
Stimulation of the vagus nerve
Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system
Administration of a sympatholytic drug
Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system

Can induce a reflex tachycardia
Located in the carotid sinus and aortic arch
Activated by hypoxemia
Activated by a hemorrahage-induced decline in blood pressure
