Which of the following cannot cause edema?

The blood contained in a ventricle during isovolumetric relaxation is

Veins physically located within large muscle groups undergo compression as the muscles surrounding them contract, and they become decompressed as the muscles relax. Therefore, with normal cycles of contraction and relaxation, the veins are alternately compressed and decompressed pushing blood back to the heart.     What is being described in this statement?

The net filtration pressure (NFP) represents the interaction of the hydrostatic and osmotic pressures, driving fluid out of the capillary.  Why does this happen?

Assume that one ventricle of a child’s heart has an EDV of 90ml, an ESV of 60 ml, and a cardiac output of 2.55 L/min.  What are the child’s stroke volume (SV), ejection fraction, and heart rate (HR)? SV = EDV – ESV CO = bpm x SV Ejection Fraction = SV / EDV

Which of the following is not a type of capillary?

Which of the blood vessels receives blood directly from the right ventricle?

Intercalated discs are specialized contact points between cardiac muscle cells that join the cell membranes with gap junctions and desmosomes.  Which is not a function of an intercalated disc?

Blood often flows into a capillary bed from

The velocity of the blood flow decreases if
