essentials to cells and
(2) removal of carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes from cells. In
addition, the system helps fight infection.
The ___________ is a load against which a muscle exerts its force = arterial pressure that the left ventricle overcomes to eject blood.
Afterload
The ___________ is the amount of tension (stretch) applied to a muscle before contraction = force of venous return
Preload
What drugs accelerate the rate of urine formation that results to the removal of sodium and water from the body?
Diuretics
