Decreased blood volume typically leads to a reduction in venous return to the heart, which can lower stroke volume and cardiac output. As a result, the body may compensate by constricting blood vessels, potentially increasing systemic vascular resistance. This increase in resistance can elevate afterload, as afterload is defined as the pressure the heart must work against to eject blood. Therefore, while decreased blood volume primarily reduces cardiac output, it can indirectly lead to an increase in afterload due to vascular compensation mechanisms.

What would happen to the volume of a gas if the pressure on it were decreased and then the gass temperature were increased?

According to Boyle's law, decreasing the pressure on a gas will cause its volume to increase, assuming the temperature remains constant. However, if the gas temperature is then increased, Charles's law indicates that the volume will further expand since gases expand when heated. Thus, the overall effect would be a significant increase in the gas volume due to both the decrease in pressure and the increase in temperature.

If a tumor of the glucocorticoid-secreting cells of the adrenal cortex crowds out the cells that produce aldosterone what is the likely effect on urine composition and volume?

The tumor would cause increased secretion of glucocorticoids and decreased aldosterone production, leading to increased sodium and water retention in the kidneys. This would result in increased urine volume and decreased urine concentration, leading to dilute urine with low sodium levels.


What happens to gas as the temperature rises?

As the temperature of a gas rises, the kinetic energy of its particles increases, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently with the walls of the container. This increase in collisions leads to an increase in pressure and volume of the gas.


What change would occur if the earths rotation significantly decreased?

What decreases cardiac output without change in heart rate PAWP or SVR Is it preload afterload or contractility?

A change in cardiac output without any change in the heart rate, pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP = equated to preload) or systemic vascular resistance (SVR = afterload) would have to be due to a change in the contractility of the heart. Cardiac output (CO) is roughly equal to stroke volume x heart rate. Stroke volume is related to preload, contractility, and afterload. As you can see, the only variables you have not controlled for is cardiac contractility.


How would a decrease in blood volume affect both stroke volume and cardiac output?

It's decreased ... unless the rate falls, which is the normal cardiac response.

Would an increase in contractility cause an increase to cardiac output?

Yes - an increase in contractility would lead to an increase in stroke volume. An increased stroke volume would cause an increased cardiac output.
