Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
SVR = (mean aortic pressure  right atrial pressure)/CO.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Just as faucets control the flow of water into a sink, the smaller arterioles control blood flow into the capillaries. Arterioles provide this control by varying their flow resistance. For this reason, arterioles are often referred to as resistance vessels.
