You are attempting to understand integrative cardiovascular physiology in a normal animal by performing various experimental procedures and observing what happens to a variety of cardiovascular parameters. Which of the answer choices listed below would MOST LIKELY result in the following changes from normal values in measured cardiovascular parameters: decreased MAP, decreased HR, increased TPR, and increased SNS activity to the vasculature (these are listed in no particular order). Please consider both direct effects and any subsequent compensatory effects of the experimental intervention.

In cardiac muscle, calcium responsible for contraction derives from

An animal is in heart failure with severe pulmonary edema and reduced arterial pressure. A likely therapeutic strategy might be to

Please indicate the primary transmitter released by sympathetic nerves to cause vasoconstriction and the receptor that mediates its effect. Transmitters Receptor Norepinephrine Alpha-1 Epinephrine Alpha-2 Acetylcholine Beta-1 Glutamate Beta-2 GABA Muscarinic Angiotensin GABA-A Vasopressin NMDA   AT-1   V1 Transmitter: [a] Receptor: [b]

An experimental drug causes systemic arteriolar vasodilation without affecting venous tone. What is the likely effect on capillary fluid exchange?

Divergence of autonomic nervous system neuronal projections is defined as:

Which one of the following involves transport across the cell membrane against an ion’s concentration gradient?

Which of the following is most likely to increase arterial pressure?

In the clinic you give your patient the local anesthetic lidocaine to relieve pain for minor surgery. Lidocaine blocks voltage gated sodium channels and thus will primarily affect which of the following.
