B) Large veins
C) Arterioles
D) Large arteries
-Site where the velocity of blood flow is fastest.

Accepted Answer

Blood flow velocity is fastest in large arteries because they have a large diameter and a small cross-sectional area, which allows for efficient blood flow. Additionally, the elastic properties of their walls enable them to rapidly propel blood through the circulatory system.

D) Superior mesenteric artery
E) Femoral artery
-Carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs.

Accepted Answer

Cardiogenic shock is the result of heart inability to sustain adequate circulation, usually due to myocardial damage or dysfunction.

Answer: A, D
 Circulatory shock and vascular shock are terms used interchangeably to describe any shock that isn't caused by loss of blood or fluid, but results in inadequate circulation. These can be caused by a variety of factors such as anaphylaxis, sepsis, or neurogenic shock.

Question 10

Match the following:
A) Capillaries
B) Large veins
C) Arterioles
D) Large arteries
-Site where exchanges of food and gases are made.

Accepted Answer

Capillaries are the site where exchanges of food and gases between blood and tissues occur. Large arteries and veins carry blood to and from the heart, while arterioles regulate blood flow to capillaries.

Question 11

Match the following:
A) Capillaries
B) Large veins
C) Arterioles
D) Large arteries
-Site where resistance to blood flow is greatest.

Accepted Answer

Arterioles are the smallest branches of arteries and are responsible for regulating blood flow and resistance to blood flow. They have the greatest resistance to blood flow due to their small size and ability to constrict and dilate.

Question 12

Match the following:
A) Pulmonary vein
B) Great saphenous vein
C) Brachial artery
D) Superior mesenteric artery
E) Femoral artery
-Artery usually ausculated to take the blood pressure.

Accepted Answer

The brachial artery is usually auscultated to take the blood pressure using a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope.

Other options:
A) Superior mesenteric artery - supplies blood to the intestines and is not typically used for blood pressure readings
C) Pulmonary vein - carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart and is not typically used for blood pressure readings
D) Femoral artery - located in the thigh and can be used to take blood pressure but the brachial artery is more commonly used
E) Great saphenous vein - a large vein in the leg that is not used for blood pressure readings.

Question 13

Match the following:
A) Capillaries
B) Large veins
C) Arterioles
D) Large arteries
-Site where blood pressure is lowest.

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure is lowest in the large veins, especially those close to the heart, as they are the furthest from the initial pressure source (the heart) and blood has traveled through the systemic circulation, losing pressure along the way.

Question 14

Match the following:
A) Axillary artery
B) External jugular vein
C) Pulmonary trunk
D) Superior vena cava
E) Subclavian vein
-Drains an upper extremity, a deep vein.

Accepted Answer

The subclavian vein drains an upper extremity and is a deep vein.

Note: None of the other options match the given description.

Question 15

Match the following:
A) Capillaries
B) Large veins
C) Arterioles
D) Large arteries
-Site where the velocity of blood flow is slowest.

Accepted Answer

Capillaries are the site where the velocity of blood flow is slowest because their small diameter causes resistance to blood flow, leading to a slower velocity.

Question 16

Match the following:
A) Capillaries
B) Large veins
C) Arterioles
D) Large arteries
-Site where the blood volume is greatest.

Accepted Answer

Large veins have the highest blood volume as they are responsible for returning blood back to the heart after it has passed through the capillaries.

B) External jugular vein
C) Pulmonary trunk
D) Superior vena cava
E) Subclavian vein
-Runs through the armpit area, giving off branches to the axillae, chest wall, and shoulder girdle.
