Across
- 3. This vessel contains one-way stop valves.
- 6. This subtype of adrenergic receptors can be found in nearly all arteriolar smooth muscle and causes vasoconstriction.
- 9. Change in resistance directed at correcting an undesirable change in blood pressure. Mediated by a stretch induced cation channel.
- 10. Nitric oxide causes this effect when acting on vascular smooth muscle.
- 14. Form of vascular resistance control characterized by a brief increase in blood flow to an area after reestablishment of flow following occlusion.
- 15. Localized release of eicosanoids would cause this form of response.
- 16. This vessel carries blood away from the heart.
Down
- 1. This subtype of adrenergic receptors can be found in arteriolar smooth muscle in cardiac and skeletal muscle and causes vasodilation.
- 2. The arteries serve as a reservoir for this.
- 3. Norepinephrine causes this effect when acting on vascular smooth muscle.
- 4. The venous system serves as a reservoir for this.
- 5. This is the site of gas exchange.
- 7. Change in blood flow directed toward meeting local metabolic requirements.
- 8. Increasing the radius of a blood vessel would have this effect on resistance of the vessel.
- 11. Changes in the radius of this vessel are important for regulating blood flow to organs.
- 12. ISF that is not reabsorbed is returned to circulation through this system.
- 13. Reflex involved in maintenance of homeostatic MAP.
