True/false
The baroreceptor reflex provides:

True
True/false
The baroreceptor reflex provides:

True
regulates BP by controlling CO and TPR
True/false
The baroreceptor reflex provides:

False
True/false
The baroreceptor reflex provides:

True
That is the regulated variable
True/false
The baroreceptor reflex provides:

False
True/false
Baroreceptors:

True
True/false
Baroreceptors:

False
True/false
Baroreceptors:

True
Can change its set point
True/false
Baroreceptors:

True
Phasic and tonic firing
True/false
Local Control:

True
True/false
Local Control:

True
That is how it adjusts the flow
True/false
Local Control:

True
True/false
Local Control:

True
True/False
In a tissue that shows good autoregulation:

False
Pressure changes
True/False
In a tissue that shows good autoregulation:

False
True/False
In a tissue that shows good autoregulation:

TRUE
This is the purpose of autoregulation
In a tissue that shows good autoregulation - flow to the tissue is kept constant

Vascular resistance
True/False
In arterioles, vascular smooth muscle:

True
Myogenic
True/False
In arterioles, vascular smooth muscle:

True
True/False
In arterioles, vascular smooth muscle:

True
Shear stress is the interaction between blood and epithelium when it flows through a vessel
This produces NO which causes vasodilation

Passive vasodilation

Increase capillary pressure
will actually INCREASE capillary perfusion, not decrease
Net hydrostatic pressure is capillary pressure - interstitial pressure TRUE
No change to oncotic pressure

Diffusion

The balance between net hydrostatic and net oncotic pressure
