Question 1. Define what is meant by "degree of vascularization" as well as angiogenesis. Think about how a "solid" cancer tumor must create its own angiogenesis...if you could prevent this new vascularization, could you stop the cancer in its tracks?

Question 2. Define myogenic response. What is meant by vasodilators and vasoconstrictors? What do they do? How dangerous are deep vein thromboses? How can you prevent them?

Question 3. What processes help push blood in the venous system back to the heart? What happens when you have varicose veins? Are hemorrhoids a type of varicose vein? Explain your reasoning.

Question 4. What is Circulatory Shock? How does extreme heat/humidity create a common cause of heart failure now that climate change has really kicked in. (For example, in Phoenix, Arizona, it is now relatively common to have high temperatures of 120 or more for a continuous week. This greatly affects the cardiovascular health of people, especially those who are poor without adequate cooling or for those living on the streets, where pavement temperatures can soar to 170 F...enough to melt shoes! Recent sudden deaths in the NW United States and Canada in 2021 were almost all caused by this impairment, so climate change is not something happening just in a few spots, it will eventually affect the entire planet and the health of everyone.)

Question 5. The difference between the heart and the vessels is that the heart (left side) has double innervation, whereas the vascular system is typically innervated either by the sympathetic division without innervation by the parasympathetic division. Explain the significance of this innervation (sounds like more online research to me), and cite the material where it was found here on this question.

Question 6. Explain the functions of epinephrine and norepinephrine as they pertain to blood pressure. Discuss the functions of angiotensin II, aldosterone, antidiuretic hormone, and atrial natriuretic peptide.
