Why does nitric oxide (NO) cause blood vessels to dilate? Choose one: It inhibits cyclic GMP production by inhibiting guanylyl cyclase. It causes endothelial cells lining blood vessels to contract. It causes smooth muscle cells in the walls of blood vessels to relax. It causes endothelial cells lining blood vessels to relax. It causes smooth muscle cells in the walls of blood vessels to contract.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule with lipid solubility similar to that of $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$. Endothelial cells lining arteries use NO to signal surrounding smooth muscle cells to relax, thereby increasing blood flow. What mechanism or mechanisms would transport NO from where it is produced in the cytoplasm of an endothelial cell into the cytoplasm of a smooth muscle cell where it acts?
In the flow through the aortic valve, the pressure drop doubles compared to a normal valve. What is the effective orifice area of the valve? It is twice normal It is 30% larger than normal It is 50% of normal It is 70% of normal With fixed cardiac output and heart rate, the systolic ejection time DECREASES. What happens to the instantaneous volume flow rate? decreases remains the same increases
