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.
