🗑
What law influences stroke volume?   show
🗑
show stronger  
🗑
Starling's law: The amount of blood in the heart at the end of _________ determines the amount of _________ placed on the heart fibers.   show
🗑
The ______________ node normally initiates each heartbeat; however various factors can and do change the ___________ of the heartbeat.   show
🗑
show aorta  
🗑

🗑
Peripheral resistance is the resistance to ___________ imposed by the force of friction between blood and the ___________.   show
🗑
Arterial blood pressure tends to vary ____________ with peripheral resistance.   show
🗑
show peripheral resistance  
🗑
Friction is due to __________ and ___________ of arterioles and capillaries   show
🗑

🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
