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

During isovolumetric contraction, the pressure in the ventricles _____________________.

Which of the following does not move substances across capillary walls?

Near the venous end of the capillary, the ______________________________ has dwindled to about 18 mm Hg due to loss of fluid. Because the ____________________________________________  remains steady at 25 mm Hg, water is drawn into the capillary from the interstitial fluid, that is, _____________________________ occurs. 

The velocity of the blood flow decreases if

Blood flows faster in a venule than in a capillary because venules

Where is the greatest volume of blood in the body?

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
