Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The heart's ability to change stroke volume solely according to the EDV is an intrinsic regulatory mechanism based on the Frank-Starling's law.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Thus, on each contraction, the normal heart ejects approximately two-thirds of its stored volume. Decreases in ejection fraction are normally associated with a weakened myocardium and de-creased contractility.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
