Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Preload, not afterload, is the volume and associated pressure generated in the ventricle at the end of diastole. Afterload is the resistance to ejection of blood from the left ventricle.
Systemic vascular resistance is related to afterload. Total peripheral resistance increases afterload.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Activation of the Bainbridge reflex increases heart rate. It does not decrease blood pressure, it does not increase rate and depth of respirations, and it does not decrease myocardial contractili-ty.
