1.
1 point
immune & inflame dseof the peripheral arteries which occur in young men who are heavy cigarette smokers

impairs blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle;
10.
1 point
a dec. in BP on standing often accompanied by dizziness, blurring of vision & syncope
11.
1 point
thickened portions of the sarcolemma, a network of fibers that transmit electrical impulses

1 point
localized narrowing of the aorta near the insertion of the ductusarteriosus
13.
1 point
specialized cells that enable it to generate & transmit action potentials
14.
1 point
a vein in which blood has pooled, producing distended, tortuous & palpable vessels

1 point
caused by loss of whole blood
19.

develops if decO2 is insufficient to meet the metabolic demands of myocardial cells
