Which of the following statements concerning control of blood
flow through arterioles is true?
Select one:
a. There are more beta-adrenergic receptors than
alpha-adrenergic receptors on arteriolar smooth muscle
b. Binding of epinephrine to alpha-adrenergic receptors causes
vasodilation.
c. Stimulation of vascular smooth muscle by the parasympathetic
nervous system causes vasodilation.
d. If blood pressure/flow within an organ increases, arterioles
in the organ will autoregulate using the myogenic response
e. None of the choices are true
Describe how glomerular filtration rate is regulated. Be sure to
include both intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms, and explain how
and when they operate.
Describe the mechanism for reabsorption of water, glucose and
Na+ in the PCT.
Describe the events of hemostasis, including both the intrinsic
and extrinsic pathways for blood coagulation.
Compare and contrast the specific pattern of blood flow in the
the fetal circulation with the circulation of the neonate. In what
important ways are they different? Explain what changes occur
shortly after birth and the mechanisms involved.
Arterioles present the greatest resistance to blood flow.
Explain blood flow mechanism and resistance occurring in
arterioles. use pressure and resistance in explanation
In general terms describe extrinsic regulation and intrinsic
regulation.
b. compare and contrast extrinsic regulation in the heart and
blood vessels.
c. compare and contrast intrinsic regulation in the heart and
blood vessels.
Describe the intrinsic and extrinsic controls of the
digestive system. How do mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors inform
the nervous controls about the state of the alimentary canal?
Describe how they control the cephalic, gastric, and intestinal
phases of stomach’s action.
Describe the common features shared by GPCRs and RTKs in their
signaling mechanisms, focusing on how they are able to amplify
signals. Specifically, how is the signal from one binding event
(i.e., the binding of one ligand molecule to an individual
receptor) propagated and strengthened?
Describe one difference in how GPCRs and RTKs transform
extracellular signals into intracellular responses.
