Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
As a result, 90 of the blood flow entering the pulmonary artery takes the path of least re-sistance by shunting through the ductus arteriosus and flows to the aorta. Only 10 flows into the lungs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Figure 9-6 illustrates how the increased O2 affinity is manifested by a leftward shift of the fetal oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve. The P50 (PO2 that saturates 50 of the hemoglobin) is 6 to 8 mm Hg less than adult hemoglobin (HbA), which indicates the degree of the shift toward higher affinity.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
