Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Local, or intrinsic, controls operate independently, without central nervous control. Intrinsic con-trol alters perfusion under normal conditions to meet metabolic needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The cardiovascular system regulates blood flow mainly by altering the capacity of the vasculature and the volume of blood it holds.
