PSL 431 Week Eleven

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.

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.
