question 116

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements concerning regulation of blood flow is TRUE?

• A)In the systemic circuit,increased levels of metabolic waste products and decreased oxygen concentration in tissues promote hyperemia through the tissues.
• B)If blood flow to a tissue is blocked for a period of time and then the block is removed,the result is a reactive hyperemia in which blood flow through the affected tissue remains low.
• C)According to flow autoregulation,if blood pressure to an arteriole is decreased,blood flow will not return toward its original level until the original blood pressure is restored.
• D)In the systemic circuit,high levels of CO₂ and metabolites tend to cause contraction in the smooth muscle of arteriole walls.
• E)The resistance to blood flow in brain and heart vascular beds does not vary in response to changes in local gas or metabolite concentrations.
