The cavity of the heart that normally has the thickest wall is the:
Definition
left ventricle.
Term
The structure referred to as the pacemaker of the heart is the:
Definition
SA node.
Term
Which of the following vessels do not have the ability to constrict and dilate?
Definition
Capillaries
Term
Which of the following act as blood reservoirs?
Definition
Veins
Term
The order of blood flow through the vessels is:
Definition
arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins.
Term
The palmar arches are branches of the:

of blood to the heart?
Definition
Atrial natriuretic hormone
Term
The primary fluid flow principle of circulation is based on all of the following except a fluid:
Definition
flows only when a pressure gradient is absent. The primary flow principle of circulation s based on when fluid does not flow when the pressure is the same in all parts of it, flows only when its pressure is higher in one area than in another, and flows always from its higher-pressure area toward its lower-pressure area.
Term
An increase in heart rate tends to:
