Physio doubt

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi all,
Is decreased blood pressure upon standing is compensated by constriction of systemic arterioles.Thanks
yes because of alpha adrenergic response... the failure of this compensation leads to orthostatic hypotension.
 
Hi
what stimulates vagal nerve endings in lung parenchyma and inhibits respiration?

decreased arterial ph
expansion of lungs
decreased alveolar oxygen tension
increased alveolar CO2
Thanks
 
Another question
A sustained severe carbohydrate deficiency will result in which of the following
ketoacidosis
severe metabolic alkalosis
deficiency of prostaglandin formation
an inability to synthesize ascorbic acid
 
Someone please help with these questions I have my exam in 9 days

Calcium ions initial contraction in skeletal muscle when they
  • Bind to T tubules

During exercise, muscle tissue accumulates lactic acid. As a result, erythrocytes passing through capillaries in the muscle

  • Rlease more CO2
  • Abosorb more CO2

The absolute refractory period of skeletal muscle is an interval during which

  • The stimulus is more than normally effective

  • The muscle is relaxed.
  • No stimulus is effective.

Which of the following portions of the cardiovascular system contains the greatest volume of blood?

  • Arterioles
  • Capillaries
  • Systemic veins
  • Chambers of the heart
  • Pulmonary vasculature

Edema may be caused by
  • Constriction of arterioles
  • Increased permeability of capillaries.
  • Reduced blood pressure in the capillaries
  • A tissue oncotic pressure that is lower than that of plasma.

Which of the following changes promotes the formation of extracellular edema?
  • Increase in tissue fluid hydrostatic pressure
  • Increase in plasma protein concentration
  • Decrease in capillary hydrostatic pressure
  • Capillary filtration exceeds capillary absorption
  • Capillary absorption exceeds capillary filtration.

Which of the following could be beneficial in reducing edema in the arms of women who have had radical mastectomy with removal of axial lymph nodes?

  • Hypertensive agents
  • Avoidance of all diuretic agents

  • Administration of a plasma volume expander

Which of the following is MOST often associated with free fatty acid transport in human blood?

  • Albumin
  • Globulin
  • Cholesterol

  • Act as a framework on which clot formation may occur
  • None of the above.

In the absence of compensatory changes, a drop in blood pressure results from

  • Vasoconstriction
  • Increased hematocrit
  • Increased stroke volume
  • Increased cardiac output
  • Decreased venous return

A marked fall in the oxygen tension in arterial blood would stimulate the receptors in the

  • Aortic and carotid bodies
  • Respiratory center

Distended veins in the neck result from which of the following?
