True
All of the following are TRUE of red blood cells EXCEPT:
They function primarily in transport of CO 2 .
All of the following are plasma proteins
Albumins
Fibrinogen
Globulins
All of the following is true about blood pressure regulation
blood pressure depends on cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance
increase of blood volume will lead to increase of blood pressure
increase of venous return will increase blood pressure
Almost 75% of all parasympathetic outflow travels along the
Vagus nerve
An increase in plasma levels of EPO would cause RBC count to:
increase
An increase in plasma levels of erythropoietin will cause blood viscosity to__________________________________________________________________________________________
increase
An increase of sympathetic activity will cause airway diameter to
increase
As erythropoiesis continues, the number of organelles in a developing RBC will:
decrease
As the rate of red blood cell destruction increases , plasma bilirubin will_________________
increase
At the capillary, __________ causes fluid to leave the capillary and __________ causes fluid to enter the capillary.
blood pressure (hydrostatic pressure) , osmosis (osmotic pressure)
Blood vessel diameter increases (vasodilation) , peripheral vascular resistance ______________________
decreases
Choose correct statements
Parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart rate
Preganglionic axons of sympathetic nervous system are short
Postganglionic axons of parasympathetic nervous system are short
Parasympathetic ganglia located very close to target organ.
Decrease of plasma osmotic pressure in the systemic capillary will __________________________reabsorption of fluid from interstitial space.
