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.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
