Venticular filling
- A.
Depends mainly on artrial contraction
- B.
70% is passive filling
- C.
Begins during isometric venticular relaxation
- D.
Can occur whe arterial pressure is greater that atmospheric pressure
- E.
Gives rise to the first heart sound
Correct Answer
B. 70% is passive fillingExplanation
Ventricular filling refers to the process of blood filling the ventricles of the heart. The given statement suggests that 70% of ventricular filling is passive. This means that a significant portion of the filling occurs without the active contraction of the atria. Instead, it is driven by the pressure difference between the atria and ventricles. During this passive filling phase, the ventricles expand and fill with blood due to the pressure gradient. This is an important mechanism for maintaining efficient blood flow in the heart.Rate this question:

If red blood cells are put in hypertonic solution
- A.
They will be swollen
- B.
Their size will be decreased
- C.
Their size will be increased
- D.
They will be burst (broken)
- E.
There will be no change in their size
Correct Answer
B. Their size will be decreasedExplanation
When red blood cells are put in a hypertonic solution, the solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cells. This causes water to move out of the cells through osmosis, leading to the cells losing water and shrinking in size. Therefore, their size will be decreased.Rate this question:

Which of the followiing vessels has the largest resistance to blood flow?
- A.
Aorta
- B.
Veins
- C.
Arterioles
- D.
Small arteries
- E.
Large arteries
Correct Answer
C. ArteriolesExplanation
Arterioles have the largest resistance to blood flow compared to the other vessels listed. This is because arterioles have a smaller diameter and more smooth muscle in their walls, which allows for greater control over blood flow. The constriction or dilation of arterioles plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and directing blood flow to specific organs or tissues.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements about the blood group is CORRECT
- A.
Erythroblastosis fetalis occurs with Rh positive mother and Rh negative fetus
- B.
The antigens Rh blood group are present in plasma
- C.
No agglutination of RBCs will occur ,If a person with type B blood receives a transfusion of type O blood
- D.
Antibodies against the Rh antigen develop when an Rh positive person is given Rh negative blood
- E.
A person with type O blood has booth the A and B antigens
Correct Answer
C. No agglutination of RBCs will occur ,If a person with type B blood receives a transfusion of type O bloodExplanation
If a person with type B blood receives a transfusion of type O blood, no agglutination of RBCs will occur. This is because type O blood is considered the universal donor, as it does not have any A or B antigens on the surface of the red blood cells. Therefore, it does not trigger an immune response in individuals with type B blood, and there will be no agglutination or clumping of the red blood cells.Rate this question:

The Na+/K+ pump
- A.
Moves equal amounts of sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell
- B.
Maintains a low intracellular concentration of sodium ions inside the cell
- C.
Is an example of a facilitated transportation
- D.
Is an example of co- transportation
Correct Answer
B. Maintains a low intracellular concentration of sodium ions inside the cellExplanation
The Na+/K+ pump is responsible for maintaining a low intracellular concentration of sodium ions inside the cell. It does this by actively pumping out sodium ions from the cell and pumping in potassium ions. This creates a concentration gradient where there is a higher concentration of sodium ions outside the cell compared to inside. This concentration gradient is essential for various cellular processes such as nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction.Rate this question:

The biconcave shape of the erythrocyte
- A.
Prevents agglutination of the RBCs
- B.
Decreases the overall surface area
- C.
Increase the formation of more ATP molecules
- D.
Increase the diffusion of gases through RBC membrane
- E.
Prevents toxins from entering the cell
Correct Answer
D. Increase the diffusion of gases through RBC membraneExplanation
The biconcave shape of the erythrocyte increases the diffusion of gases through the RBC membrane. This shape allows the erythrocyte to have a larger surface area, which in turn increases the rate of gas exchange between the RBC and its surroundings. The biconcave shape also allows the erythrocyte to be more flexible, enabling it to squeeze through narrow capillaries and deliver oxygen to tissues more efficiently.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements is WRONG about veins
- A.
They vasoconstrict on sudden standing up
- B.
Have a sympathetic vasoconstrictor innervations
- C.
Have leess strechability than arteries
- D.
Their pressure gradually decrease to almost zero in vena cave
Correct Answer
C. Have leess strechability than arteriesExplanation
Veins actually have more stretchability than arteries. Veins are more distensible and have thinner walls compared to arteries, allowing them to accommodate larger volumes of blood and expand more easily. This stretchability helps veins to store blood and act as a reservoir, especially in times of increased blood volume or decreased blood flow. Arteries, on the other hand, have thicker walls and are less distensible, as their main function is to carry oxygenated blood away from the heart at high pressure.Rate this question:

Fibinogen
- A.
Causes clot retraction
- B.
Is produced by B lymphocytes
- C.
Is activated by thrombin
- D.
Is removed from the blood by tissue thromboplastin
- E.
Production needs vitamin K
Correct Answer
A. Causes clot retractionExplanation
Fibrinogen is a protein that is involved in the clotting of blood. When a blood vessel is damaged, fibrinogen is converted into fibrin by the enzyme thrombin. Fibrin forms a mesh-like structure that helps to trap blood cells and platelets to form a clot. After some time, the clot begins to retract or shrink, and this is facilitated by fibrinogen. Fibrinogen molecules interact with each other, causing the clot to contract and become more compact. This process helps to strengthen the clot and promote wound healing. Therefore, the correct answer is that fibrinogen causes clot retraction.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements is WRONG about arterioles
- A.
Their pressure gradually decrease to almost zero
- B.
Their walls have smooth muscle rich in sympathetic innervations
- C.
Contain most of the blood volume
- D.
They vasoconstrict on sudden standing up
- E.
Have lower blood velocity than aorta
Correct Answer
D. They vasoconstrict on sudden standing upExplanation
Arterioles do not vasoconstrict on sudden standing up. Vasoconstriction refers to the narrowing of blood vessels, which leads to a decrease in blood flow. When a person stands up suddenly, arterioles actually vasodilate, meaning they widen to increase blood flow and maintain blood pressure in order to prevent a sudden drop in blood supply to the brain. This is an important mechanism to prevent dizziness or fainting upon standing up quickly.Rate this question:

The process by which the glucose molecules are moved into cells against their concentration gradient with the help of concentration gradient of sodium ions is called
- A.
Negative feedback mechanisim
- B.
Primary active transport
- C.
Secondary active transport
- D.
Facilitated diffusion
Correct Answer
C. Secondary active transportExplanation
Secondary active transport is the correct answer because it involves the movement of glucose molecules into cells against their concentration gradient, using the concentration gradient of sodium ions as a source of energy. This process is different from primary active transport, which directly uses ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion does not involve the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, and negative feedback mechanism is a broad term that does not specifically describe the process of glucose transport.Rate this question:
