B. False
4. According to Poiseuille's Law, determinants of mean arterial pressure (a.k.a., \DeltaP or driving pressure) include
A. $r^4$ (vascular radius)
B. Q (cardiac output)
C. l (Vascular length)
D. $\eta$ (blood viscosity)
E. all of the above
5. The most important site of flow regulation to various vascular beds and overall arterial pressure is/are the
A. capillary beds
B. large veins
C. large arteries
D. arterioles/pre-capillary sphincters
E. left ventricle
The following statements are correct except
A. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) catalyzes the formation of angiotensin II.
B. Angiotensin II is a potent vasodilator to decrease mean arterial pressure.
C. Secretion of arginine vasopressin (a.k.a., antidiuretic hormone) promotes reabsorption of water by the formation
aquaporin water pores in the distal tubules and collecting dust of the renal nephron.
D. Aldosterone secreted by the adrenal cortex promotes reabsorption of $Na^+$ and water by the kidneys.
At rest, the heart extracts how
of the oxygen from the blood in the coronary arteries.
