in the capillary beds fluid from the blood is pushed (filtered) into the tissues, what force works to draw blood back into the capillaries?

The vessels that drain blood flow away from capillary beds are called:

1. Name this region (1) 2. Name this region (2) 3. Name this region (3)  

Occlusion of blood vessels tends to lead to inadequate blood flow to the downstream tissues. What do you expect to happen to the capillaries in these tissues?

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) means that the pumping efficiency of the heart is depressed so that there is inadequate delivery of blood to body tissues.

Beta blockers are a  ________ and would __________ cardiac output.

The steepest drop in blood pressure comes just as blood enters the capillary beds.  Since structure and function go together, describe the structure of the capillaries and  why the pressure needs to be reduced before entering these vessels. 

The “dup” sound that is made during the lub-dup sounds heard while auscultating the heart is caused by:
