Question #1
What factors are directly proportional to the flow? 
A.   pressure difference and radius of the vessel
B.   blood viscosity and length of the vessel
C.   peripheral resistance and blood viscosity
D.   pressure difference and length of the vessel
Question #2
The peripheral resistance (PR) is directly proportional to the blood viscosity, vessel length and vessel radius.
A.   FALSE
B.   TRUE
Question #3
Which of the following is not correct?
A.   pulse pressure is equal to the systolic minus the diastolic pressures
B.   the mean arterial pressure = systolic pressure + 1/3 the pulse pressure
C.   blood velocity in the arteries is fast to slow (50 cm/s to 1 cm/s)
D.   systolic pressure is the arterial pressure during systole
E.   diastolic pressure is the arterial pressure during diastole
Question #4
At the venous end of a capillary, the capillary fluid pressure (CHP) is greater than the blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP), as a result fluids are filtered from the blood into the interstitial spaces.
A.   FALSE
B.   TRUE
Question #5
Which of the following would cause vasoconstriction leading to an increase in PR and BP?
A.   ↑ of the carotid and aortic bodies, ↓ of the baroreceptors, and angiotensin II
B.   angiotensin II, aldosterone and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
C.   ↑ of the carotid and aortic bodies, aldosterone and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
Question #6
An increase in the metabolic rate of a tissue would lead to constriction of arterioles and precapillary sphincters, resulting in a decrease in blood flow to that tissue.
A.   TRUE
B.   FALSE
Question #7
What causes lymph to flow?
A.   contraction of the heart, contraction of the (larger) lymphatic vessels and gravity
B.   skeletal and respiratory pumps, contraction of the (larger) lymphatic vessels, and pulsations of nearby arteries
C.   pulsations of nearby arteries, contraction of the heart and gravity
Question #8
Lymph has the exact same composition as the blood plasma.
A.   FALSE
B.   TRUE
Question #9
Which of the following is not true of the spleen?
A.   all the above
B.   site of erythrocyte production in the fetus
C.   destroys worn-out blood cells
D.   contains macrophages and lymphocytes that remove microbes and cancer cells from the lymph
E.   stores iron, platelets and blood
Question #10
Lymph nodes contain lymphocytes that phagocytize bacteria that get through the mucosal epithelium.
A.   FALSE
B.   TRUE
Question #11
Which is an effect of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)?
A.   ↑ Na+ and H2O absorption by kidneys and vasoconstriction
B.   vasoconstriction and ↑ Na+ and H2O absorption by kidneys
C.   ↑ ADH secretion and ↑ Na+ and H2O absorption by kidneys
D.   ↑ Na+ and H2O secretion by kidneys and ↓ ADH secretion
Question #12
Where does the development of the membrane receptors on T cells (TCRs) occur?
A.   spleen
B.   thymus gland
C.   red bone marrow
D.   parathyroid glands
E.   thyroid gland
