Under normal physiological conditions a higher cardiac output can be achieved by a higher:
1. extracellular concentration
2. blood pressure in the systemic circulation
3. venous return
4. parasympathetic tone
Vagotomy [cutting of vagus nerve] would lead to:
| 1. | reduced heart rate |
| 2. | increased heart rate |
| 3. | reduced strength of contraction |
| 4. | increased secretion of acetylcholine |
Which statement concerning blood viscosity is correct?
| 1. | The viscosity of blood is less than the viscosity of water. |
| 2. | Blood viscosity is due to the presence of the plasma proteins and erythrocytes. |
| 3. | The higher the blood viscosity the easier the heart has to work to move blood through the vessels. |
| 4. | Anemia increases blood viscosity. |
The cytoplasmic granules released by thrombocytes during platelet plug formation, which attract more platelets to the plug are:
| 1. | prostacyclin and NO | 2. | erythropoietin and bilirubin |
| 3. | heparin and plasmin | 4. | ADP and thromboxanes |
A person comes to the ER with a need of blood transfusion. How would you determine his blood type?
| 1. | By mixing his blood with the blood of another person of known blood type and if there is no reaction they are the same type. |
| 2. | By looking at red blood cells under a microscope to see what kind of antigens are on their membranes. |
| 3. | By checking to see which plasma antibodies a person has and he won't have antibodies against his own blood type. |
| 4. | By mixing the blood with different antibodies to see which ones cause the red blood cells to agglutinate. |
Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | The lack of mitochondria decreases the efficiency of oxygen transport by the red blood cells to the tissues. |
| Reason (R): | Red blood cells are unable to make ATP of their own. |
| 1. | Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. |
| 2. | Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. |
| 3. | Assertion is true but reason is false. |
| 4. | Both assertion and reason are false. |
| Assertion (A): | No virus can evolve to target human red blood cells. |
| Reason (R): | The human red blood cells are unable to carry out protein synthesis. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| Assertion: | ABO blood group incompatibilities between the mother and child do not usually cause hemolytic disease of the newborn. |
| Reason: |
Females do not make antibodies against A and B antigens. |
| 1. | Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. |
| 2. | Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. |
| 3. | Assertion is true but reason is false. |
| 4. | Both assertion and reason are false. |

Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | In patients of liver failure the risk of bleeding is increased. |
| Reason (R): | Liver synthesizes most of the clotting factors and activates Vitamin K. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
| Assertion (A): | Prolonged aerobic exercise training may also increase stroke volume, which frequently results in a lower (resting) heart rate. |
| Reason (R): | Reduced heart rate prolongs ventricular diastole (filling), increasing end-diastolic volume, and ultimately allowing more blood to be ejected. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
