What is the source of DNA in blood?
Every cell has DNA in it, even blood cells. DNA is an important part of cells, there can't be a cell without DNA.
What Site has the greatest resistance to blood flow?
Arterioles.
Is glucose a source of energy for red blood cells?
Yes. Under most circumstances, glucose is the most important circulating fuel in the body.
What is the body chemistry associated with insulin resistance?
High blood sugar from food stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin into the blood. However, in insulin resistance, the insulin is secreted but is only partially absorbed by the tissues.
Resistance to blood flow depends mainly on?
ultra filtration pressure in the capillaries
Which of the following is important in blood coagulation?
Vitamin K is important in blood coagulation.
What is the principles relating to blood flow and pressure and resistance?
Blood pressure = (Blood flow)(Resistance). This equation is usually found in the following form: MAP = (CO)(R) Where MAP is the mean arterial pressure CO is the cardiac output R is the peripheral resistance
Which type of blood vessel is most important in regulating vascular resistance?
arteriol
Which of the following statements about arteries and veins is false?
Veins can collapse, serving as the blood vessel with the greatest resistance to blood flow in the circulatory system
What is blood flow resistance?
The resistance of blood flow is what?
What blood vessel regulates systemic resistance?
which blood vessel regulates systemic resistance?
Which blood vessel offer most resistance to blood flow?
Arterioles generally have the highest resistance because they are so extremely small.
A resistance to blood flow due to friction between blood and blood vessel walls is called what?
it is called peripheral resistance.
Which of the following statements about insulin resistance and pre-diabetes is TRUE?
Blood glucose levels in the pre-diabetesrange increase the risk of heart attack or stroke by 50%
What is the source of DNA in blood?
Every cell has DNA in it, even blood cells. DNA is an important part of cells, there can't be a cell without DNA.
What factors influence resistance to blood flow?
blood volume
How does blood viscosity affect blood flow?
