Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Preload is equivalent to venous blood return to the atria and end diastolic volumes of the heart. This is directly influenced by fluid volume. Heart rate and contractility have some influence, but they are not the major determinants of preload. Blood pressure is not a direct influence on preload.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Most cases of congenital cardiac disease have no known cause. The most accurate statement is that genetic causes of heart disease may be prevented with gene therapy in the future. Controlling chronic health conditions is important but not the most accurate answer. Prevention is not totally impossible. Folic acid is important but has the most impact on preventing neural tube defects.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
