• With aging, the compliance of arteries decreases. Which of the following alternatives is correct?

a. With decreased arterial compliance, systolic and diastolic pressure increase.

b. With decreased arterial compliance, systolic and diastolic pressure decrease.

c With decreased arterial compliance, systolic pressure increases while diastolic pressure decreases.

d. With decreased arterial compliance, systolic pressure decreases while diastolic pressure increases.

e. With decreased arterial compliance, systolic pressure increases while diastolic pressure remains unchanged.

• Suppose the venous pressure of the systemic circulation is increased. Which of the following alternatives is correct?

a. Systolic and diastolic pressure increase with increasing venous pressure.

b. Systolic and diastolic pressure decrease with increasing venous pressure.

c. Systolic pressure increases while diastolic pressure decreases with increasing venous pressure.

d. Systolic pressure decreases while diastolic pressure increases with increasing venous pressure.

e. Systolic pressure increases while diastolic pressure does not change with increasing venous pressure.

The relative change (RC) of any quantity is defined by the following formula:

b. A CR of 30% in peripheral resistance.

c. A CR of 50% in heart rate.

d. A CR of 60% in compliance.

e. A CR of 10% in ventricular ejection.
