Which of the following blood vessels has the lowest blood pressure? a. superior vena cava b. aorta c. systemic capillary d. common carotid artery e. systemic arteriole

Explanation / Answer

Ans

12)

A

Metarteriole directly controls blood flow through a capillary bed.

13)

C

Systemic capillaries has blood flow at the slowest rate.

14)

E

All these factors affect resistance to blood form.

These are : -

Blood viscosity

Blood vessel diameter

Blood vessel length

Blood vessel permeability

15)  

A

Order from arterial to venous end is : -

Muscular arteries - elastic arteries - arterioles - capillaries - venules - medium veins - large veins

16)

C

Systemic capillaries has lowest blood pressure.
