Explanation:

1. Shock is defined as inadequate cellular perfusion.
2. Systolic pressure is the pressure in arteries during cardiac contraction.
3. The body redirects blood from less essential (to low - flow tolerant) organs during shock.
4. Pulse pressure relates to the heart's contraction force.
5. Blood components include platelets and plasma.
6. Inadequate circulation is circulatory failure.
7. Precapillary sphincters constrict and relax capillary walls.
8. Diastolic pressure is during relaxation, systolic during contraction.
9. Aging leads to more serious shock in older patients.
10. The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary body actions.
